A 45-year-old man from Dubai came to our dental clinic seeking to replace his missing lower front teeth. Few months back he had suffered a fall injury in which his lower central incisor teeth were severely fractured and subsequently extracted. The gap in his lower teeth gave him an unsightly smile.

After complete osseointegration of the implants with the surrounding bone, ceramic crowns of exact color match were fixed to the implants. The patient is very happy to have a natural-looking smile and to be able to bite and speak well.
