Crown on Implant

The prosthetic crown fitted onto a dental implant to complete the replacement of a missing tooth. Once an implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made crown is attached to it to restore the appearance and function of the tooth. At DENS Stomatologia the implant crown is made to match the surrounding teeth in shape and shade, and is priced separately from the surgical placement of the implant itself, with the final figure depending on the materials chosen.

A crown on an implant is the visible, functional part of an implant-supported tooth replacement. After a titanium implant has been placed and has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment connects the implant to a custom-made crown, which is then secured in place. The crown is fabricated in a dental laboratory to match the size, shape and colour of the neighbouring teeth so that the restored tooth blends in naturally. At DENS Stomatologia this stage follows the healing period after implant placement and usually involves taking impressions or a scan of the site, agreeing the shade, and fitting the finished crown at a subsequent appointment. The price range reflects the different materials and laboratory work that may be appropriate for a given case. An implant-supported crown restores the ability to bite and chew on that tooth and, because it is anchored to the implant rather than to adjacent teeth, it does not depend on neighbouring teeth for support. The dentist explains the options and the expected appearance before the crown is made, and reviews the fit, bite and finish at the fitting appointment. Good day-to-day cleaning and regular check-ups help an implant crown last well over time.
