Esthetics in implantology is a topic which is currently gaining a lot of attention from dental implantologists all over the world. It includes both white and red esthetics. This was a case of missing maxillary anterior tooth that is left central incisor. Patient was wearing a removable partial denture and was not satisfied with the appearance of it and so wanted a fixed prosthesis with good esthetics which was compromised earlier. An ideal implant should have all the three dimensions stable that is mesio-distal, apicocoronal and orofacial for proper implant position in maxilla. Thus, it was planned for implant supported prosthesis - a more conservative and esthetic treatment modality. Patient was medically compromised as was suffering from diabetes mellitus and was under medication with oral anti-diabetic drugs and diet control.
