One Dental Implant and 2 Crowns to Smile

Can a Den­tal Implant Look Nat­ural in a Smile?

Are you miss­ing teeth in the front and think­ing about a den­tal implant  to replace it?  If so, are you con­cerned that the new tooth might not look as nat­ural as your other teeth?  If so, then read on and see how ter­rific Tim’s smile looks with a den­tal implant and 2 crowns done in our Char­lotte den­tist office.

Den­tal Implants Are Cos­metic Den­tistry, Too

When Tim first came to see us, he was wor­ried about a front tooth that had sud­denly become loose and dropped down.  The tooth had a root canal and crown down nearly 35 years ago (pretty impres­sive!), but unfor­tu­nately, the root of the tooth itself had frac­tured below the bone and could not be fixed, so we ended up extract­ing it.  Because the crowns were so old and didn’t match his other teeth, we decided to redo the one next to it so his smile would match.

When doing den­tal crowns on front teeth or implants, it auto­mat­i­cally becomes a cos­metic den­tistry case, so we have to work with a really excel­lent den­tal lab­o­ra­tory to cre­ate an artis­tic smile, espe­cially in a case like Tim’s.  If Tim had wanted to do porce­lain veneers for his whole smile, this would have been a lot eas­ier, but he was oth­er­wise happy with his smile.

Match­ing Nat­ural Teeth with Den­tal Crowns is Hard

Because he didn’t want to do Deep Bleach­ing^TM to brighten up his whole smile, and any­thing else really wouldn’t have worked on his dark teeth,  we didn’t try to use our same day Cerec crown sys­tem here.  Here at Smiles by Payet Den­tistry, we only work with excel­lent labs, so you can be con­fi­dent we’ll give you a com­pletely nat­ural look, we promise!  And if you look at the Before and After Pho­tos below, we think you can see what we mean!

Even though it can be very hard to make crowns match teeth, a skilled cos­metic den­tist work­ing with a skilled lab can make it pre­dictable and “look” easy.
