Doctor's comment
Reconstructing a front incisor is one of the most delicate procedures in aesthetic implantology. We performed guided bone regeneration and created a crown perfectly matched in colour and shape to the adjacent teeth. The final result exceeded the patient's expectations, giving him a natural and symmetrical smile.
