When we consulted with Allison to improve her smile she was undergoing braces.  Allison was missing one of her lateral incisors which is the tooth right next to her front one.  Eventually teeth had shifted into the missing tooth position.  Also her other lateral incisor was a peg lateral(very small in size).  With braces room was created for an implant in the missing lateral tooth position.  Our solution to  restore Allison’s smile consisted of recontouring her gum line to the proper position 1st.  This is the most critical step. Gums should drape the teeth to reveal an adequate amont of teeth.  Once that was accomplished the next step involved placing a porcelain cap on the Implant and 3 veneers on the other front teeth.
