Implants and Cosmetic Gum Surgery

This patient lost his front tooth and was faced with replacing it with a removeable tooth, bridge which would require caps on adjacent healthy teeth, or a dental implant. These photos demonstrate an excellent result with an implant I placed and crown that is just like his own tooth.
Which one is the implant tooth?


Old crowns placed at age 12 after bicycle accident. The shape and size of the crowns had caused severe gum inlflammation
After corrective gum surgery and new crowns a new smile and a very happy patient


After orthodontics this patient had a severe "gummy" smile
Healthy gums and better sized teeth after corrective gum surgery
