The Art of the Aesthetic Zone: Replacing Missing Lateral Incisors in Kansas City. Lateral incisors play a critical role in smile symmetry. Because they sit at the center of the aesthetic zone, even the smallest imperfection can draw attention. Replacing these teeth requires far more than simply placing an implant; it requires true artistic and surgical mastery.
At Gordon Dental Implants & Cosmetics, we specialize in restorations so natural that even patients forget which teeth are implants.
The Challenge of Missing Lateral Incisors
The aesthetic zone presents unique challenges:
• Thinner bone structure
• Highly visible gum contours
• Greater risk of tissue collapse
• Zero margin for color or shape error
Without specialist planning, implants in this area often appear artificial or cause gum recession.
How We Achieve Natural Results
3D CBCT Digital Planning
We precisely map implant position to support ideal gum emergence.
Custom Shade Matching
Artisan porcelain crowns replicate natural translucency and surface texture.
Bone Preservation
The implant stimulates bone to maintain facial support and long-term stability.
