Alabama Dentist - Replacement of Missing Lateral Incisor
Linda didn’t like the dark margin
at the gum line of her front crowned tooth #10. The crown
did not match the color and translucency of Linda’s
neighboring teeth, which made her front crown very noticeable.
After several years of service, decay formed under this
crown.
Dr. Beasley removed the old crown and found
too much decay to justify further restorative treatment.
After discussing all available options such as an implant,
bridge, or partial denture, Linda opted to have what remained
of her tooth extracted and an implant placed.
Dr. Paul Weeks in Huntsville, AL placed
Linda’s implant. Linda wore a temporary crown while
the implant site healed. Kreig DeGraff of D & M Dental
Arts in Merced, CA created the porcelain implant crown that
Dr. Beasley restored.
