This patient presented with a failing anterior tooth and general aesthetic concerns affecting confidence in their smile. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed a compromised tooth requiring extraction, as well as minor discrepancies in anterior tooth alignment and shade. Dr. Malcolm Campbell developed a comprehensive treatment plan focused on achieving both functional stability and aesthetic harmony through a single implant restoration combined with a porcelain veneer.
A fully guided surgical protocol was utilised to ensure precise implant positioning within the aesthetic zone, allowing for ideal emergence profile and long-term stability. To optimise the implant site, guided bone regeneration (GBR) was performed to augment bone volume and support the future restoration. This meticulous approach ensured a stable foundation for a predictable and natural-looking result.
Following osseointegration, a custom-milled abutment and carefully designed crown were fabricated to seamlessly blend with the surrounding dentition. To complete the smile transformation, a porcelain veneer was placed on the adjacent UR1, harmonising shade, contour, and symmetry across the anterior teeth.
The integration of digital planning, guided surgery, and precise restorative execution delivered an outcome that was both functionally stable and aesthetically refined. The patient reported a significant improvement in confidence and satisfaction with the overall appearance of their smile.
