<Upper Premolar Dental Implants Case 1>

Implant restorative dentistry provided by Dr Kim Kah of Wangi Wangi, and surgery (including sinus lift bone graft) by Dr Paul Coceancig (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon).

Her upper right second premolar had been the scourge of a near perfect dental history. At an early age, the tooth spontaneously decayed, and eventually the nerve inside the tooth had died.

A root canal restoration followed, but the crown continued to disintegrate, until finally it broke.

Decayed premolar shown on x-ray, with the beginning of a small apical abscess seen which is pointing into the maxillary sinus.

After close up photo and x-ray showing replaced zirconia-porcelain tooth, supported on a titanium implant. Notice the fine individual porcelain pigments and inbuilt striation of the crown, designed to maximally blend the tooth against the adjacent natural crown. Dental crowns provided by Dr Kim Kah.

Your final crown should be indistinguishable from your own natural teeth. Insist on specialist maxillofacial surgeons and implant-restorative dentists working as a team to permanently replace your missing tooth.
