Replacing an Upper Front Tooth with an Implant Modern dental implants can be used successfully to replace many missing or hopeless teeth. In this example a patient's upper right front tooth (Fig. 1) was extracted due to bone loss from a root canal problem (Fig. 2). The socket was grafted to regrow the lost bone, and an implant was placed (Fig. 3). The final crown is shown in Fig. 4, and the patient's smile is in Fig. 5. This process, while time - consuming, is not painful, and the patient is never without a temporary replacement for the missing tooth while the implant is healing.
