Implant Crowns

An implant crown is the visible replacement tooth that attaches to a dental implant, restoring the look and function of a missing tooth. It is custom-made to blend with your surrounding teeth and designed to fit securely over the implant post, giving you a stable, natural-feeling result.

What an Implant Crown Involves

Impressions and Design — A precise mold or digital scan of your mouth is used to shape a crown that matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth.
Secure Attachment — The finished crown is fitted onto the implant abutment, creating a stable connection meant to support normal biting and chewing.
Fit and Comfort Check — Adjustments are made as needed so the crown feels comfortable and functions well alongside your other teeth.

When Patients Consider This Option

Single Missing Tooth — When one tooth needs replacement and an implant has already been placed.
Replacing an Older Restoration — When an existing implant crown is worn, damaged, or no longer fits well.
Completing Implant Treatment — The final step after the implant post has healed and integrated with the jawbone.
