A Saturday crack, a tooth that looks like it was always there

Where it started

Matteo called the emergency line on a Saturday morning after a back tooth split in half. He was in the chair within the hour. The tooth could not be saved, so we removed it gently and made sure he left without pain.

The plan

A week later, Marco sat down with him to talk through the options: a bridge, a partial denture or an implant. Matteo chose the implant because it would not touch the healthy teeth on either side. A 3D scan confirmed there was enough bone to place it without a graft.

The result

The implant was placed in a single, calm appointment. After three months of healing, his final crown was fitted and matched to the shade of his other teeth. He now eats on that side without thinking about it.
