Implant Supported Crowns

When a patient is missing a single tooth, one increasingly popular and effective form of restoration is an implant supported crown. This involves the placement of a single implant and its restoration with a dental crown. The crown is traditionally manufactured from a ceramic material that is exceptionally durable and can be made to match the surrounding teeth (crowns made of gold are generally less popular with patients today because they are visually more conspicuous).

While the implant crowns might need replacement over time, implants can last for decades, if not a lifetime. Implant crowns replace the entire tooth, from crown to root, for a realistic appearance, helping patients to avoid bone breakdown and changes to the facial structure. Also, implant crowns make it much easier for you to enjoy eating your favorite foods and speak as you normally would.

If you are missing a tooth, implant crowns might be the tooth replacement treatment for you. Learn more about this treatment by calling us today or reaching out to us online.
