Upper Right Premolar Implant and Zirconia Crown Case: A Fixed, Aesthetic Restoration
Meet our patient who presented with two tooth concerns: a missing upper right premolar and a fractured upper left premolar needing restoration. We tailored a fixed, durable solution that preserves adjacent teeth and delivers superior aesthetics.
Case Overview:
- Missing upper right second premolar (tooth replacement desired)
- Fractured upper left premolar requiring restoration
- Desired outcome: fixed restoration with optimal aesthetics and bite function
Treatment Options Considered
- Fixed options: dental implant with crown, dental bridge
- Removable option: denture
- Patient choice: dental implant for a fixed, tooth-sparing restoration; Zirconia crown for the fractured premolar
What We Did
CBCT Evaluation
- Used our state-of-the-art clinic CBCT to obtain a precise 3D view of the jaw and bone quality at the site of the missing tooth.
Implant Placement with Bone Graft
- Because of a bone depression at the implant site, we performed a bone graft to preserve ridge height and soft tissue contours.
- A dental implant was placed at the site in a strategic position to support a natural-looking crown.
CAD/CAM Crown Fabrication
- Approximately 3 months after implant placement, a digital scan was taken.
- A CAD/CAM milled implant crown was designed and seated, providing a precise, lifelike result.
Zirconia Crown for the Fractured Premolar
- The upper left fractured premolar received a Zirconia crown for exceptional strength and aesthetics.
Outcome
- The combined implant and Zirconia crown treatment delivers a natural, lasting restoration for both bite and smile.
- The fixed implant preserves adjacent teeth and supports long-term oral health.
- The Zirconia crown offers durable strength and a superior aesthetic finish that blends with the surrounding dentition.
