Chief Complaint & Initial Presentation
This patient sought care for about a week of discomfort in the upper right front region. Examination identified extensive decay in the upper right canine. The affected tooth caused inconvenience when eating and also raised concerns about the appearance of the smile.
Clinical Methodology & Biomechanical Approach
The canine occupies a visible position and contributes to the bite. Its long root made careful extraction important. The plan therefore combined controlled removal of the compromised tooth with attention to the position and surrounding tissues of its implant replacement. The tooth was extracted and an implant was placed immediately in the same site. Bone grafting was used to support the area, and a temporary crown was provided while the implant healed. After approximately three months, satisfactory healing allowed the team to evaluate the shade and appearance of the final implant-supported restoration before delivery.
Clinical Outcome & Long-Term Stability
Following satisfactory healing, the final implant-supported restoration was delivered after shade matching and aesthetic assessment. The patient then moved into monitoring and maintenance, with guidance on cleaning around the implant and returning for regular review.
