Implant Crown

An implant crown is the visible, tooth-shaped restoration fixed onto a dental implant once it has integrated with the bone, completing the replacement of a missing tooth. At Dental ART the crown is made to match the shape and shade of the surrounding teeth and attached to the implant to restore a natural appearance and a comfortable bite. It is the second stage of implant treatment, carried out after the implant has healed, and is priced separately from the implant itself.

An implant crown is the part of an implant-based tooth replacement that you actually see and chew with. Once a titanium implant has been placed and has fused with the jawbone, an abutment connects the implant to a custom-made crown that sits at the gumline like a natural tooth. Restoring the gap this way is associated with returning normal chewing and speech and keeping the neighbouring and opposing teeth from drifting into the space, without involving the adjacent teeth as a conventional bridge would. At Dental ART the implant crown stage begins once the implant has integrated, usually a few months after placement. An impression or digital scan is taken of the implant position, and the crown is made to match the size, shape and colour of the surrounding teeth before being secured onto the implant and checked for a comfortable, even bite. The clinic works with durable, natural-looking materials and matches the result to the rest of the smile, which matters most in the visible zone. Because it forms the second half of implant treatment, the crown is quoted separately from the surgical placement, so a complete single-tooth implant combines the two stages. Implant crowns suit patients who have had — or are planning — an implant and want a fixed, natural-looking tooth rather than a removable option; the dentist confirms timing and the right restoration at review. German-speaking staff and help with German insurance billing make it easy for cross-border patients to plan the placement and crown stages around separate trips.
