A lady came to our clinic requested for dental implant to replace her missing upper left canine. Upon examination and radiography image taken, we found out that her missing canine is hidden way up in her upper jaw bone. (OPG below – white arrow)
The condition where the canine teeth develop displaced from their normal position is referred as etopic canine.
If we leave the etopic canine there and place an implant over the gap, there might be a chance that the implant will hit the etopic tooth. Therefore, after discussed with her, we decided to remove the tooth surgically and at the same time, we placed the implant into the gap. The extracted socket with be filled up with bone graft.
End result!!

This young man came to us complaining of his broken tooth (upper left central incisor). The tooth was root treated (RCT) many years ago and it fractured at the level below gum margin.

The tooth was un-saveable and extraction was the only choice.
Treatment option:
- Immediate dental implant placement
- Denture to replace missing front tooth
- Full porcelain bridge
After discussed with him, he decided to have dental implant to replace that broken tooth and later crown for the right central incisor.
 Final result |

A young lady came to our clinic wanted all the gaps between her front teeth to be closed. She stopped her braces treatment about a year ago (due to studying oversea) leaving all her front teeth moving by themselves creating gaps and misalignment..

After examination and assessment of her teeth, we came out with a few treatment plans:
- Restart orthodontic treatment /braces again (Require time)
- Resin composite veneer or full porcelain veneer on right lateral and central incisor only (Imbalance of the width for the front central incisors)
- Crown all the front teeth.
After discussed with her, we finally decided to have her upper four incisors crowned and resin composite on both of her upper canine to reduce the distance between the canines to accommodate the incisors.

Possible problems/risks for crowding the teeth:
- The front teeth will look sightly bigger
- Possible of devitalizing the teeth during preparation of teeth ending up needed root canal treatment.
