Missing a Front Tooth?

Replacing Teeth That Show When You Smile

Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, so a complete smile is important when making a good first impression. When you’re missing teeth, your self-confidence drastically falls especially when it comes to interacting with others. And while dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement options, replacing anterior teeth in the front of the mouth, the “smile zone,” with implants can be a challenge. This area of the mouth is always visible when you talk, smile, laugh and eat, so the room for error or any small flaw is minimal. When you’re replacing an anterior tooth in this part of the mouth, choosing the most skilled, experienced doctor is a must. Dental implants in this aesthetic zone must be placed with precision so your new tooth and smile are both flawless.

Why This is a Challenge

Because of how visible these teeth are in everyday activities, implants in this area are considered challenging to provide beautiful or natural results. There are multiple complications that can occur if your implant is not placed by an experienced team, including:

Combining Skill and Technology

Our team of oral surgeons at Western Pennsylvania Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery have the experience and skills necessary to provide patients with dental implants in any location of the mouth, including the aesthetic “smile zone” teeth. With nearly two decades of experience between Drs. Steven Krakora and Brandon Humberger, we have placed countless dental implants into this difficult region of the mouth. We also utilize X-Nav technology through X-Guide™, which is a digital implant planning system for implant surgery. X-Nav technology directs our surgeons to the exact angle, depth and position for the implant to be placed so there is virtually zero room for error. After the implant is placed, your general dentist will restore it with a lifelike and gorgeous crown that blends in seamlessly with your smile.
