What is a Dental Implant Crown?

A dental implant crown is a complete tooth replacement system consisting of a titanium implant (artificial root), an abutment (connector), and a crown (visible tooth). This gold-standard solution offers permanent results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth—lasting 20+ years with proper care.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: If you need multiple implants, consider "same-day implants" or "All-on-4" options. Some patients can receive temporary teeth the same day as implant surgery, avoiding months with gaps.

⚠️ Insider Note: Implant brand matters significantly. Premium brands like Straumann and Nobel Biocare have the most clinical research and longest track records. Budget implants may save money initially but could cost more if complications arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 15-20 years.

Is implant surgery painful?

The surgery is done under local anesthesia and is generally painless. Post-operative discomfort is mild and manageable with medication.

Am I a candidate for implants?

Most adults with adequate bone density are candidates. Bone grafting can address insufficient bone in most cases.

How long does the whole process take?

Total treatment time is 3-6 months, primarily for healing (osseointegration). Some cases allow immediate loading with same-day teeth.

What if I don't have enough bone?

Bone grafting procedures can build up the jawbone before or during implant placement, making most patients eligible.

Can I travel home during the healing period?

Yes, you return home after implant placement and come back for the crown 3-6 months later once healing is complete.

How do I care for my implant crown?

Care for it exactly like a natural tooth—brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular dental check-ups every 6 months.

What's the success rate?

Dental implants have a 95-98% success rate when placed by experienced surgeons using quality materials.
