Do You Put a Crown on a Dental Implant?

Do You Put a Crown on a Dental Implant?

When people think of a dental implant, they often picture the whole artificial tooth—but the implant is actually just the artificial root! To deliver a fully functioning bite and a natural look, a custom-made crown must be placed on top. Let's break down exactly how the crown and implant work together to complete your smile.

The Process:

• The Implant - A titanium post placed into the jaw.
• The Abutment - A connector piece that sits on top of the implant.
• The Crown - The final porcelain tooth that is attached to the abutment.

Combining these elements ensures your new tooth is strong enough for chewing and beautiful enough for your smile. We meticulously match the shade and contour of the crown to your surrounding teeth for a seamless result.
