Dental implant crowns are prosthetic teeth that are attached to dental implants to replace missing or damaged teeth. A dental implant crown consists of two main components: the dental implant, which is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, and the dental crown, which is the visible portion of the replacement tooth that resembles a natural tooth.
The process of placing a dental implant crown typically involves several steps. First, the dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the surrounding bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is attached to the implant, which serves as a connector between the implant and the dental crown. Finally, the custom-made dental crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
Dental implant crowns offer several advantages over traditional dental bridges or dentures, including improved stability, durability, and aesthetics. Because dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, they provide a secure foundation for the dental crown, allowing for better chewing function and preventing bone loss in the jaw. Additionally, dental implant crowns are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in color, shape, and size, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile.
