Implant Crowns
Restoring Your Smile After Tooth Loss
When a tooth is missing, a dental implant crown completes your smile with a solution designed to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth. An implant crown is the visible portion of a dental implant prosthesis — custom-crafted and securely attached to a titanium implant post that has fused with your jawbone.
How Implant Crowns Work
A dental implant replaces the entire structure of a missing tooth:
- Titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone for a stable foundation.
- After healing, an abutment connects the implant to a custom-made crown.
- The implant crown restores tooth function, chewing ability, and aesthetics.
Why Choose an Implant Crown?
- Natural appearance: Implant crowns can be crafted from porcelain or ceramic to match your existing teeth.
- Durable function: Designed to withstand everyday biting and chewing forces.
- Long-lasting solution: With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implant crowns can provide years of reliable service.
- Supports oral health: Helps preserve bone and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
Types of Implant Crown Materials
Porcelain and ceramic implant crowns are popular for their lifelike color and translucency. Other options include zirconia for enhanced strength or hybrid materials that blend durability with appearance, depending on your needs and location of the missing tooth.
What to Expect
Placing an implant crown is typically a multi-stage process that begins with implant surgery and requires time for osseointegration (bone healing). Once healing is complete, your custom crown is attached and shaped for a natural fit, function, and smile that you’ll be proud to show.
Who Is a Good Candidate for an Implant Crown?
An implant crown may be an appropriate solution if you:
- Are missing a single tooth
- Have a dental implant that is ready for restoration
- Want a long-term, natural-looking tooth replacement
- Have sufficient jawbone to support a dental implant
- Prefer a solution that does not rely on adjacent teeth for support
