Replacement of one missing upper front tooth
All Treatment performed by Dr. James Khazian
This young female patient’s upper front tooth was missing for years and she was using a denture as a temporary measure to cover the gap. She was interested to replace the missing tooth using a dental implant. She had done research about the benefits of dental implants and was convinced that dental implant will provide beautiful and strong replacement for the missing tooth.
After a thorough consultation with Dr. James Khazian and learning more about implant teeth, patient decided to proceed with replacing the missing tooth with a dental implant and an implant tooth.
Pre-op radiographs were taken to evaluate the site. A comprehensive oral and medical examination revealed that patient is a good candidate for the procedure.
This x-ray shows the missing upper front tooth. The tooth on the left side has had a root canal treatment which may have failed and may need re-treatment.
The procedure to place the dental implant into the jawbone consisted of administration of local anesthetic, a small incision in the gum and placement of the actual dental implant into the site. This was done in about 30 minutes and was well tolerated by patient.
