Implant Crown

An implant crown is the visible, tooth-shaped restoration attached to a dental implant once it has fused with the bone. At Concierge Dental Design, it is custom made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Together with the implant post, it completes the replacement of a missing tooth. The result looks and works like a natural tooth.

The crown is placed after the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, which usually takes a few months. Once healing is confirmed, scans or impressions are taken and the crown is crafted to fit precisely. It is then secured to the implant for a seamless result. We confirm the timing based on how your implant heals.

Brush and floss around the implant crown just as you would a natural tooth, paying attention to the gumline. Implant crowns cannot decay, but the surrounding gum and bone still need daily care to stay healthy. Regular cleanings and checkups protect the implant long term. We will show you the best technique for keeping it clean.

A well-made implant crown often lasts ten to fifteen years or more, while the implant beneath it can last a lifetime with good care. Habits like grinding can shorten a crown's life, so a night guard may help. Daily hygiene and routine visits keep everything in good shape. If a crown ever needs replacing, it can usually be done without disturbing the implant.
