2008 has been a tremendous year for us, having improved the dental health of many people, this being yet another. This gentleman was referred to us by our periodontist, with the ‘upper right lateral incisor’ failing. It is the narrower tooth with the crown on it. The middle two teeth had existing crowns on them as well, and the gum had risen up over years, allowing the shadowed appearance of the root to be visible. This happens as gum recession occurs, and the type of crown does not permit sufficient light to transmit.

      Our treatment consisted of removing the infected tooth, placement of a dental implant, and immediately attaching his existing crown to the implant. This was accomplished by Dr. Brien Harvey  He left the same day looking almost no different at all!!!  After sufficient healing, we began whitening his teeth, with some cosmetic recontouring for the right side eye tooth. Final restorations include a dental implant with custom abutment, replacement of the center two crowns, and a porcelain veneer on the next tooth to his left.
