Implant Crowns
Restore your smile with Implant Crowns.
An implant crown is a permanent dental restoration used to replace a missing or severely damaged tooth. The process begins with the placement of a titanium post, which serves as the root of the new tooth. Once it fuses with the jawbone, an abutment is added to connect the post to the crown. The final step is the placement of a custom-made crown that matches the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, functional, and aesthetic solution. Implant crowns offer significant advantages over traditional options like bridges or dentures, providing long-lasting and reliable results.
Get a lasting smile with Implant Crowns.
An implant crown is a dental restoration designed to replace a missing or damaged tooth. It consists of a titanium implant, which acts as a new root, and a custom-made crown that fits over the implant. The implant integrates with the jawbone, providing stability, while the crown mimics the natural appearance and function of a real tooth. Unlike removable dentures or bridges, implant crowns offer a permanent, stable solution that restores the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. This advanced treatment offers a comfortable, secure fit and the peace of mind of a lasting result.
The process for getting an implant crown begins with the placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which will act as the root of the new tooth. After it integrates with the bone, an abutment is added to connect the implant to the crown. The final step is the placement of a custom crown that is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
The implant crown process typically takes several months, as the titanium implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone. This integration, known as osseointegration, can take 3 to 6 months. Afterward, the abutment is placed, and a few weeks later, the custom crown is attached to complete the procedure.
The implant crown procedure is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used during the implant placement, so you will be numb during the procedure. Some discomfort and swelling may occur afterward, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients experience minimal pain after the procedure.
Implant crowns are known for their long-lasting durability. With proper care, they can last for many years, often 10-15 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding hard or sticky foods can help extend the lifespan of your implant crown.
