The present study is a case report of a 24-year-old patient with a missing maxillary right lateral incisor. The case report uses a multi-disciplinary team approach in providing aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of teeth. The first team of periodontist took care of the gingival tissue health which was a pivotal aspect for the future orthodontic and implant procedure. The orthodontic procedures not only involved creating space for the missing lateral incisor but also involves creating an ideal occlusion. The final restoration is achieved with implants using surgical techniques to achieve aesthetic results as well as to preserve the bone and the gingival anatomy of the papilla for better outcomes.
