Treatment of inadequate crowns, failing UL1 and gingival recession with new crowns, single tooth dental implant, bone & soft tissue grafting and root coverage.

This 45 year old lady presented a very difficult and challenging case. The upper left central incisor had previously been root treated and post crowned and was now failing. Marked gingival recession and a thin scalloped tissue biotype along with a high lip line presented a real challenge to achieve a predictable and stable aesthetic outcome.

We removed the failing incisor, placed an immediate dental implant with bone augmentation and a simultaneous socket seal soft tissue graft from the palate to increase the attached gingival tissues. We subsequently carried out root coverage procedures on the incisors and left canine along with connective tissue grafts. The final result with new crowns depicted at 2 years after the case was completed demonstrates the ongoing stability and success of the excellent result.
