What is a Crown Implant?
A dental crown implant replaces an entire tooth, including its root system. Unlike a dental crown, which sits on top of the gum line, an implant is placed below the gum line and utilizes a screw to support all sides. This procedure is ensured to be much stronger than traditional amalgam treatments while being way less harmful to patients' mouths!
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. That's why we provide each patient with personalized instructions during treatment so they know exactly what steps need to be taken next, as well as answer any questions or concerns you may have about the dental procedure along the way!
Reasons for a Crown Implant:
- Decayed teeth
- Broken or fractured teeth
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Large fillings
- Fractured fillings
- Final Phase of root canal therapy
Advantages of a Crown Implant:
- Crowns are cosmetically appealing
- Resistant to staining
- Extremely durable
- Crown blend extremely well with other teeth
- Comfortable and nearly unnoticeable
What to Expect When Receiving a Professional Crown Implant
The first step in the process is our consultation, which involves a discussion between our dentist and the patient about treatment goals. We then will proceed with dental X-rays and an oral examination! Our dentist will also answer questions the patient has and help them make an informed decision about treatment.
Each patient may require preparations such as bone grafting and then the placement procedures are performed afterward. It takes several weeks, if not longer for their mouth to heal properly following implant placement in a manner that is both aesthetic and functional so they can eat or speak clearly again!
