Charlotte's Transformation

"Missing upper right canine, using an old unsightly bridge."

Charlotte was born without an upper right canine tooth and had been using an old, unsightly bridge to replace it since childhood.

However, she wanted a more natural-looking solution that blended seamlessly with her smile. After discussing various options, Charlotte decided to go with an implant, as it was a self-supporting restoration that wouldn't require altering her healthy natural teeth.

The implant was placed, and a temporary bridge was made while the bone healed around it. When it was time to restore the implant, a series of temporary crowns with different shapes were placed to mould the gum line, creating a natural look for the final crown. Charlotte visited the lab for a shade match to ensure the new crown perfectly blended with her smile.

The result was a beautiful, long-lasting tooth that matched her natural teeth perfectly.
