Implant Crown Restoration

At The Practice, we understand the importance of a healthy and confident smile. When a tooth is severely damaged or lost, implant crown restoration offers a reliable and natural-looking solution to restore both function and aesthetics. This article provides a comprehensive overview of implant crown restoration, addressing relevant questions and providing valuable information to help you make an informed decision about this dental procedure.

What is Implant Crown Restoration?

Implant crown restoration is a dental procedure that involves the placement of a dental implant and a custom-made crown to replace a missing or severely damaged tooth. The dental implant serves as an artificial tooth root, surgically inserted into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the crown. The crown, carefully crafted to match your natural teeth’ shape, color, and alignment, is then securely attached to the implant, resulting in a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth.

Understanding Implant Crown Restoration

Implant crown restoration is designed to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It involves the placement of an artificial tooth root, known as a dental implant, which is then crowned with a prosthetic tooth. This process is not only about filling gaps; it’s about restoring functionality, preventing bone loss, and maintaining the harmony of your bite.

Types of Implants

Endosteal implants, the most common type, are implanted into the jawbone.

Subperiosteal implants rest on top of the jawbone, and zygomatic implants are an alternative for those with insufficient jawbone.

Understanding these types is crucial for determining the suitable option.

The Importance of Implant Crown Restoration

Beyond the obvious cosmetic benefits, implant crown restoration is vital in preserving oral health. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can deteriorate. Implants prevent this bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, maintaining its density and strength. This ensures a solid foundation for the implant and supports the structure of the face.

The Implant Crown Restoration Process

The process begins with an examination. We utilize cutting-edge imaging techniques like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The procedure involves implant placement, a healing period called osseointegration, and the attachment of the crown. This approach ensures a durable and pleasing result.

Initial Consultation and Planning

We assess your oral health, discuss your medical history, and address concerns. Digital impressions and CBCT scans allow us to create a personalized treatment plan. This ensures the implant is placed in an optimal position, both functionally and aesthetically.

Implant Placement

The surgical phase involves the placement of the implant into the jawbone. Local anesthesia is administered. Our skilled team creates a small incision in the gum, exposing the bone. The implant is then inserted, and the gum is stitched. This phase sets the foundation for the subsequent steps. 

Osseointegration Period

Osseointegration is a crucial phase where the implant integrates. This can take several weeks, during which the bone grows around the implant, anchoring it. Patience during this period ensures the stability of the implant.

Crown Attachment

Once osseointegration is complete, the final step involves attaching the crown. The crown is custom-designed to match your natural teeth’ color, shape, and size. The result is a functional and pleasing restoration that feels like a natural tooth.
