Dental Implant with Zirconia Crown

A complete single-tooth replacement combining a titanium implant, a custom abutment and a tooth-coloured zirconia crown. This is the full implant solution from root to visible tooth, planned and finished by the clinic's specialist team and its in-house dental laboratory. A metal-free, all-ceramic option is available for patients who prefer it, and a temporary crown can be worn while the implant integrates with the bone.

This treatment covers the full journey of replacing a single missing tooth with an implant-supported crown. First a titanium implant is placed into the jaw and left to integrate with the bone. Once healing is complete, a custom abutment is connected to the implant to act as the support, and a zirconia crown — shaped and shaded to match the neighbouring teeth — is fitted on top. The crown is produced by OrtoImplant Clinic's own dental laboratory, which allows the shape and colour to be refined to the individual patient. Zirconia is a strong, tooth-coloured ceramic that resists staining and reflects light in a way similar to natural enamel, making it well suited to both front and back teeth. For patients who prefer a completely metal-free result, the clinic offers an all-zirconia implant restored with a zirconia crown as a premium option. During the integration period a temporary crown can be worn so there is no visible gap. A fixed implant crown is associated with chewing comfort and stability close to that of a natural tooth and, unlike a conventional bridge, does not require the adjacent teeth to be ground down for support. The number of visits and the overall timeline depend on whether grafting is needed and on individual healing; the specialist outlines the full plan, costs and any alternatives at consultation. Day-to-day care is the same as for natural teeth, with regular hygiene visits recommended to protect the gum and bone around the implant.
