The Concern: Mismatched Implant Crowns

Our patient came to us feeling self-conscious about their front teeth. Implant-supported crowns on teeth #7 and #10 had been placed at another office, but the results just didn’t feel right. The shape, contour, and especially the color of the crowns stood out from the surrounding natural teeth — making the restorations look obvious rather than seamless.

In an area as visible as your front teeth, even the smallest inconsistencies can make a big impact. And this patient knew they deserved better.

The Solution: Personalized Smile Design

Dr. Kathryn Ryan approached the case with one goal: to create a natural, harmonious look that restored both function and aesthetics. By removing the original crowns and replacing them with custom-crafted restorations, she was able to achieve:

• Accurate color matching to the patient’s surrounding teeth

• Improved contouring for a more lifelike and symmetrical appearance

• Enhanced translucency to reflect light like natural enamel

• A seamless blend that restores the patient’s smile — and their confidence

The Result: A Smile That Looks and Feels Like You

The transformation speaks for itself. With her meticulous attention to detail and patient-focused care, Dr. Ryan was able to deliver a result that not only looked beautiful but also felt authentic to the patient.

For Dr. Ryan, smile design is never one-size-fits-all. It’s about listening, customizing, and refining — until your smile feels just right.
