Crown on Implant

The crown on an implant is the visible, tooth-shaped restoration that is fixed onto a healed implant to complete the replacement. At Royal Dent these crowns are made by prosthodontists who also handle implant prosthetics, with the shape and shade matched to the neighbouring teeth. It is the final stage after an implant has integrated with the bone, and is priced separately from the implant surgery so each part of the treatment is clear.

Once a dental implant has fused with the jawbone, it needs a crown to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth. The implant crown is a custom-made ceramic or porcelain-fused restoration that is attached to the implant via a connecting abutment, recreating a natural-looking tooth that you can bite and chew with normally. At Royal Dent this stage is carried out by prosthodontists who specialise in implant prosthetics, working from impressions or digital scans so the crown fits precisely and matches the colour and contour of the surrounding teeth. The process usually involves taking an impression of the implant position, having the crown fabricated, and then fitting and adjusting it for a comfortable bite. Materials are chosen to balance strength and aesthetics, particularly in the visible front of the mouth where blending with natural teeth matters most. A well-made implant crown is associated with good durability and is cared for much like a natural tooth, with regular brushing, cleaning around the gumline and routine check-ups. Because the implant surgery and the crown are billed separately, patients can see exactly what each phase of treatment costs. For larger restorations involving several implants and crowns, the clinic's 0% instalment option can help manage the overall cost. The prosthodontist confirms timing, materials and the final design at the restorative consultation.
