Restored back to natural
Patient Background:
The patient had an existing crown on the upper left central incisor.
There was a missing tooth in the upper lateral incisor position, which had been replaced with a resin-bonded bridge, also known as a "sticky bridge," as an immediate solution after extraction by a previous dentist.
Patient Concerns:
The patient expressed concerns about the potential failure of the resin-bonded bridge.
The desire was to replace the bridge with a more stable solution.
Additionally, the patient wanted to replace the crown on the upper left central incisor for a more natural appearance.
Treatment:
The existing crown on the central incisor was replaced with a new one to achieve a more natural appearance.
An implant was placed in the upper left lateral incisor position to provide a stable and long-term replacement.
The implant was then restored with a natural-looking implant crown.
Outcome:
The treatment resulted in the replacement of the crown on the central incisor for improved aesthetics.
The resin-bonded bridge was replaced with a stable implant in the lateral incisor position, and the implant was restored with a natural-looking crown.
The patient was delighted with the final results.
This case exemplifies how comprehensive dental treatment can address multiple concerns, such as replacing unstable bridges with more stable implants and improving the aesthetic appearance of crowns. The patient's satisfaction with the outcomes demonstrates the success of the treatment.
