Single Tooth Dental Implant for a Missing Upper Premolar
Chief Complaint & Initial Presentation
This patient came to Dental World seeking replacement of a missing upper left first premolar. The space affected chewing on that side and created a visible gap, with associated concerns about smiling and social confidence.
Clinical Methodology & Biomechanical Approach
The team assessed the space, available bone, gum condition and neighbouring teeth. The goal was to position the implant and crown so that the replacement could meet both functional and appearance needs. An implant was placed at the missing premolar site. A healing period followed to allow integration with the bone. After satisfactory healing, an implant-supported crown was fabricated and cemented, completing the replacement.
Clinical Outcome & Long-Term Stability
The implant-supported crown was cemented after satisfactory healing, restoring the missing upper left premolar. The clinical summary records a stable restoration with improved function and appearance at the documented review. Regular follow-up and maintenance were advised to monitor the implant and surrounding tissues.
A gap in the upper left teeth was affecting chewing comfort and confidence when smiling. A single tooth dental implant, followed by a carefully planned crown, replaced the missing premolar through a staged surgical and restorative approach.
