Implant Crowns Built to Complete Your Smile
An implant crown is the final piece of a dental implant, the custom-made tooth that attaches to the implant post once it has healed and fused with your jawbone. Together, the implant and crown recreate a missing tooth from root to surface, restoring both function and appearance.
Your implant crown is designed to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth, so it blends naturally into your smile. Once in place, it allows you to bite, chew, and speak with the same confidence as a natural tooth.
Why You May Need an Implant Crown
An implant crown may be recommended if you are dealing with:
- A single missing tooth
- A tooth that could not be saved
- An existing implant post without a crown
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Difficulty chewing due to a gap
- Bone loss from a missing tooth
Leaving a gap from a missing tooth for too long can allow neighboring teeth to shift and bone in the area to shrink over time. An implant crown fills that space with a permanent, stable restoration, helping protect the health and alignment of the teeth around it.
FAQs
After the implant post has fully healed and fused with the jawbone, which typically takes a few months, the custom crown is designed and attached, usually completing the process within a few weeks after that.
