The ability to maintain or create aesthetics in the maxillary anterior area without affecting the adjoining healthy teeth has been the primary reason for the popularity of implant utilization in the anterior single tooth restoration. This article presents a sequence of several traumatic incidences involving the maxillary incisors. The options considered for restoration are discussed and the reasons for implant selection explained. The surgical phase and tissue augmentation procedures are presented, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach is emphasized. The learning objective of this article is to share the observations and experience gained from the restoration of a rather unusual case of traumatic sequences.
