Implant supported single crowns offer a very good option to replacing a missing front tooth.

The loss of an anterior tooth offers many challenges to the dental team with aesthetics being one of the most critical factors.

When choosing the abutment, that component that sticks out of the implant several factors are considered; visibility of the region; for example high versus low smile line, thickness or thinness of the gum, colour of the neighbouring teeth and the patient’s own aesthetic expectations.

In these aesthetically demanding situations customized white abutments made of the zirconia along with all ceramic crowns are chosen instead of the metallic titanium abutments thereby assuring a more aesthetic result at the gum line.
