Vince, owner of Vin Auto Collision in Thorold, is a successful l local businessman. He came to us with discomfort after being bumped
in the face at work then later playing with his son. His front tooth was fractured and eventually determined to be non restorable. In the past the usual method of space filling would be a bridge. An artificial tooth is suspended between two neighbouring teeth after grinding several millimetres of healthy enamel from the teeth on each side. The modern choice is to leave the teeth on either side alone and place a titanium implant. This titanium anchor is integrated in the bone to act as a root substitute. The final implant supported crown would look and feel like the other teeth.
After talking with Dr. Pekar , Vince decided to restore his smile with a dental implant. After a clinical exam that evaluated bone mass and density he was
deemed an excellent candidate for implant placement. The procedure took about an hour and Vince left with an intact trial smile. Implants are left for 3 to 9 months before being restored. At sixteen weeks Vince’s bone attachment to the implant was sufficiently strong to proceed. The natural shade of his other teeth was matched and the new tooth put in place.
Advancements in technology allow people to have quality of life and health that were only emerging two decades ago. Vince is happy not to be wearing a partial denture. Dr.Pekar notes it was a pleasure to provide minimal dentistry which means leaving as much of a natural smile intact as possible.
