Filmed in Burbank -Part 2 of 9.
This is the second of a nine-part series that specifically discusses dental implant replacement of “specific” teeth.
Every tooth in your mouth is very unique!
The upper lateral incisor natural teeth are the small, side teeth just next to your two big front center teeth.
This tooth implant has so many details that you really should know before you start treatment. It can make or break a smile! It is often missing from birth.
Feel free to comment below (no need to sign up) or comment on my Facebook fan page!
Here is an older post with some example cases of mine. Not all of them are upper lateral teeth, but many are.
Look for future posts of this series!

Hello!
I had a bone graft done to my upper lats. I had my stitches out July 19th and am noticing gum recession on the left side of my front tooth. I can see more of my tooth than I ever have. Can the gym tissue grow back down as my graft heals further??
Hello Alyssa,
Are you talking about another different tooth where the gum is receding?
Without seen your unique situation personally, it will be hard for me to give you accurate advice.

Yes I am seeing the recession on different teeth. I had a bone graft where my top left incisors should be (no implant yet). I am seeing recession in the sides of my front teeth.
Alyssa….mention this to your dentist ASAP. It may be normal in your situation.
