While in her 20s, this patient was involved in a car accident that resulted in loss of four front teeth along with much of the supporting bone. In addition, many of her other teeth were fractured in the accident. She was never happy with the difficult restoration that was completed by her previous dentists.
Her referring dentist completed orthodontic treatment, bone grafting and implant placement. Then, we reconstructed her mouth using crowns on all teeth except the upper front. We used an implant supported bridge to replace the four front missing teeth. Pink porcelain was used in her bridge to restore the natural look and contours of lost gum and bone tissue. It also allowed us to shape normal sized front teeth and provided our patient with good lip support for a pretty smile.
