Patient: A 55-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of esthetic problem for the maxillary anterior tooth. An esthetic recovery was performed for the maxillary anterior tooth using the crown lengthening procedures and implant therapy was performed for the left mandibular free-end space to reestablish the proper occlusal support following bite raising.
Discussion: Since medical intervention was performed by appropriate timing in this case, an esthetic recovery was performed and more tooth loss could be prevented.
Conclusion: In this case, the patient was finalized by anterior esthetic prosthesis following bite raising and crown lengthening procedures. It was possible to avoid a partial denture that the patient did not like and to recover occlusal support by implant denture.
