Single Implant For An Actress

This young actress showed up at our clinic with a hopeless premolar on her right side.

As her job requires her to look good in front of the camera all the time, she cannot afford to go without a tooth.

We extracted her tooth and inserted a tiny one-tooth Flexite immediate denture.

With pink coloured nylon claps and no coverage of her palate, she was able to look good before the camera and not have a denture plate interfere with her speech immediately after her extraction.

2 months after extraction, she came in for implant surgery. The healing was not very good and the bone quality not as good as we had wanted it to be, but we managed to insert a 4.5mmx8.5mm Osstem GSII implant into the space.

The extraction space after 2 months.
Healing is not perfect, making the surgery a challenging one.

The implant is in place.
The blue fixture mount was removed and the wound was stitched up.
She reported only mild discomfort after surgery and went straight back to work.
The restoration phase of the treatment will take place in 3 months.
We will post the updates then.

2 months post-op! Our beautiful actress showed up.
We relieved her of her Flexite denture, did a surgical exposure of her implant and attached an abutment to it.

Sorry, we were so excited we didn't clean up the area before taking this picture.

After that, we placed a temporary crown over the abutment.
We will wait another 2 weeks for the cut gums to heal, at which time we'll take impressions for the permanent crown.

The finished product.

The patient had some reaction to the temporary crown material.
The inflammation is expected to clear in a couple of days.

A very daring super close up.
The gums have been pushed aside by the temporary crown.
They will soon settle in nicely with the new crown.
The patient has her tooth back.

The Smile In Your Future

There are people who are smile-challenged for another reason: They are ashamed of their teeth and gums.

They believe their smile is unattractive.

Perhaps their teeth are crooked, or stained from years of drinking beverages like coffee, tea, and cola, or from smoking tabacco.

Perhaps some teeth are chipped or missing.

Whatever the reason, by keeping their smile imprisoned behind their lips they deprive themselves of the most vital communication tool we have apart from speech itself.

If you're one of those people, the good news is that these problems can be corrected.

If You Have The Gummy Smile...

What is gummy smile?

A smile is considered a 'gummy smile' if a significant amount of gums can be seens as a person smiles. Below

I personally think that a person's appearance, 70% is depending on the smile. Or you might say that if she/he looks ugly or so so... i would say that people's are rely on make-up or garment dressed. In this world, no one is ugly. Everyone has a good looking.

Correcting gummy smile can be accomplished by one oof two possible simple surgical procedures. The first procedure is called a gingivetomy. Gingivectomies are performed when the amount of gum reduction necessary is minimal such as in mild gummy smiles. During a gingivetomy, a minimal of gum tissue is removed. The procedure is painless, requires no sutures, and the gum tissues usually heal within two weeks.

More advanced gummy smiles require more extensive tissue reduction. This is performed by a procedure known as crown lengthening. During this painless procedure, the gum tissues are contoured around each individual tooth. The tissue is lifted off the bone and placed in a desired new position. The tissues are sutured into place and allowed to heal for 7 - 10 days. After initial healing, the sutures are removed. The newly repositioned gums are allowed to heal for an additional 5 - 7 weeks before any final restorations can be placed. Following a crown lengthening procedure, further treatment with either porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns will be required to achieve a beautiful new smile. These final restorations can be completed in just two visits.
