5. The patient came to THE DENTAL SPA for an emergency appointment, his front crown of more than 20 years
fell out. On close examination, we established that the root has fractured below the gum line which made it
impossible to fix.

The Dental Spa
Case of the month
Apart from the surgical aspect that took 3 months,
this patient walked away within a week with a brand new smile.
After the consultation & xrays, it was decided to remove the fractured root and place an immediate titanium
implant in it's place. A temporary crown was made that same day.
After a healing period of around 3 months, and confirmation that the bone has integrated into the implant, it
was ready for the final impressions to manufacture the new porcelain crown.
During the healing period, the patient has shown an interest in improving the overall appearance
of his smile. Standard digital photographs and impressions for study models were taken and an
indepth treatment plan was drawn up that covered both the patients’ clinical and cosmetic needs.
Once the treatment plan was approved by the patient, preparations began for his transformation.
On day one, the upper eight (8) front teeth were prepared where all previous restorations and
some of the teeth surfaces were removed to make room for the new porcelain.
Temporary acrylic crowns were fitted the same day after the impressions were taken for the
laboratory to manufacture the new porcelain crowns and veneers.
The new all porcelain crowns were then tried and checked. With the permission of the patient, the
final cementation took place the same day.
