Before Treatment: Damaged Implant Crown Affecting the Smile

This patient came to Dr. John Ku after breaking the crown attached to a previously placed dental implant. Although the implant itself remained healthy and secure, the damaged crown affected the appearance and function of the tooth. A broken implant crown can make chewing uncomfortable, compromise aesthetics, and leave the restoration vulnerable to further damage. The patient wanted a durable, natural-looking replacement that would restore the tooth to its original appearance.

After Treatment: New Custom Implant Crown Restores Strength and Appearance

Dr. John Ku replaced the broken restoration with a new custom implant-supported crown designed to fit precisely on the existing dental implant. The crown was carefully crafted to match the color, shape, and contours of the surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.

The new implant crown restored the tooth's strength, function, and aesthetics, allowing the patient to chew comfortably and smile with confidence. The replacement crown blends beautifully with the rest of the smile, making it virtually impossible to distinguish from the natural teeth.
