For children, the loss of a baby tooth signifies a rite of passage, rewarded handsomely by the Tooth Fairy in the form of some coins tucked underneath a pillow. They are then blessed with new teeth.
For adults, the loss of a tooth doesn’t quite hold the same charm. As a matter of fact it can be a serious dental health concern.
When this patient met with an accident, he lost his front tooth.
It was traumatizing for him to have a front tooth missing. He became reluctant to smile.
When he came to Happy Smiles Dental Clinic, Pune he wished to have a fixed permanent solution.
The ideal treatment was to replace his missing tooth with dental implant.
Due to impact of accident, the underlying bone was compromised in width.
The underlying bone acts as the foundation for dental implant to be placed. So a grafting procedure was done to increase bone width.
Then the dental implant was done. We waited for few months for the implant to osseintegrate and get fixed in bone.
A permanent cap was given on this.
Replacing the missing tooth improved not just his smile but his self confidence too.
