Implant Crown
A dental implant is a revolutionary solution for replacing a missing tooth, providing both a natural appearance and full functionality. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, a dental implant involves a surgical procedure where a titanium post, or implant, is placed directly into the jawbone to serve as a permanent tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a custom-made implant crown is placed on top to restore the tooth’s shape, size, and function, allowing it to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. One of the most significant benefits of a dental implant is that it is a permanent tooth replacement. The implant itself, which acts as the tooth root, is designed to last a lifetime, while the crown may need to be replaced over time due to natural wear. This permanence ideally means that patients only need to undergo the surgical procedure once, significantly reducing the risks, complications, and costs associated with future dental procedures, such as replacing lost fillings, bridges, or dentures.
The process of getting a dental implant involves three key components: the implant (root), the abutment (connector), and the crown (visible tooth). This comprehensive approach ensures that the implant mimics the function and aesthetics of a natural tooth while providing a sturdy and durable solution for tooth loss.
