Implant and crowns enhance aesthetics after dental abscess causes tooth loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

This patient had damaged a front tooth as a child many years ago.\u00a0 At the time, the standard of care was to restore the damaged tooth with a porcelain-to-metal crown and to place a crown on the adjacent tooth to make a match. \u00a0Since the original crowns had been placed, the patient’s teeth had changed color and translucence, and the original crowns no longer matched her natural teeth.\u00a0 She also developed an infection around the root tip of the damaged tooth and ended up losing the front tooth.<\/p>\n

We placed a titanium implant in the site of the missing tooth and fit the implant with an immediate custom abutment (the connector between an implant and a crown); we also placed temporary crowns on the other front three teeth.<\/p>\n

After four months of healing, the implant was restored with a Zirconium custom abutment, and the custom abutment and three natural teeth were restored together with four beautiful all-ceramic crowns. \u00a0The custom abutment is the key to the final lifelike aesthetic outcome, as it creates a brightness that is illuminated from the inside of the porcelain crown, and reflects up into the gum tissue.<\/p>\n

Note the view illustrating how light reflects from the porcelain – we used a graphite pencil to help illustrate how modifying the final contours (done in the mouth) could really bring symmetry to the final result.<\/p>\n
