Unfortunately the lateral incisor tooth which is just to the right of the two big ones, had a root fracture, that required removal of the tooth… After all options were discussed, an implant was chosen to restore the area.
After removal of the tooth, the implant was placed and the temporary abutment was attached.. You are looking at the temporary abutment. This picture was taken at the surgical visit, all tissues still look nice and healthy.
Since we were able to stabilize the implant at placement a temporary crown was placed on the temporary abutment.
After a healing period, and impression was taken of the implant, so that the new crown and abutment could be fabricated and delivered.
