Replacing a single missing tooth can dramatically improve your smile but replacing two front teeth with dental implants requires advanced skill, technology, and precision. At Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics in Leawood, KS, we see many patients from Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Prairie Village, and Leawood who are unhappy with their smile because of broken, missing, or badly damaged front teeth.
This featured patient came to our office frustrated, embarrassed, and unable to smile confidently after losing his two front teeth. He wanted a permanent, natural solution not a removable flipper or temporary fix. Using state-of-the-art 3D imaging and cosmetic implant dentistry, Dr. Philip Gordon restored his smile with two front dental implants and a custom cosmetic makeover that transformed both his appearance and confidence.
Why Missing Front Teeth Are So Difficult for Patients?
Front teeth are the foundation of your smile. When even one is missing, patients commonly experience:
Difficulty chewing or biting into food
Speech issues (lisps, whistling, etc.)
Loss of confidence in social and professional situations
Visible gaps that affect facial appearance
Fear of smiling or laughing
Lower self-esteem
This patient was experiencing all of these and wanted a strong, permanent, aesthetic solution that looked like his natural teeth once did.
Why Dental Implants Are the Best Fix for Missing Front Teeth
There are several ways to replace missing front teeth, but dental implants are the gold standard because they:
✔ Look and feel like natural teeth
✔ Do not move, loosen, or come out
✔ Help maintain bone and facial structure
✔ Last decades often a lifetime
✔ Allow you to bite, chew, and smile normally
✔ Require no drilling on adjacent teeth
For highly visible front teeth, implants offer unmatched natural esthetics.

Step-By-Step: How We Restored This Patient’s Smile
1. Comprehensive Examination & 3D CBCT Scan
We began with a full assessment including digital photography and a 3D CBCT scan. This allows us to:
Evaluate bone levels
Check gum health
Plan implant angulation
Design the perfect tooth shape and position
Front-tooth implants require exact precision millimeters matter.
2. Guided Implant Placement
Using advanced computer-guided technology, Dr. Gordon placed two dental implants in the precise position needed for long-term strength, healthy gumlines, and beautiful symmetry.
This step ensures:
Perfect implant angulation
Ideal spacing between the two implants
Stable support for future crowns
Predictable cosmetic results
3. Custom Implant Crowns & Smile Design
Once the implants healed and fused with the bone (osseointegration), we designed custom cosmetic crowns that matched his:
Facial features
Smile line
Tooth shape & size
Enamel texture
Translucency
Color
These crowns were crafted to blend seamlessly with his existing teeth natural, bright, symmetrical, and strong.
4. Final Smile Reveal
The patient returned for his final delivery and the transformation was dramatic.
His reaction said everything:
“I finally feel like myself again. I can smile without thinking about it.”
He now has:
Permanent implant teeth
A stronger bite
Improved confidence
A younger, healthier appearance
Zero reliance on removable appliances
This is the power of dental implants done right.
