Dental Implant Crowns- Cosmetic Dentistry on Louetta
Dental Implant Crown Process
- Dental implant heals
- Impressions of dental implant site are taken
- Screw-retained dental implant crown is fabricated for your dental implant site
- Dental implant crown (the part that looks like a tooth) is screwed down to the implant
Why Screw-Retained Implant Crowns
- Replace one or a few teeth
- Not for arch or full mouth sets
- Other options available when several teeth need replacing
- Can withstand extreme chewing forces
- Easier to maintain
- Stay in place
- Allow for easy removal
- More precisely placed in mouth than cement
- Make removal, repair, or replacement easier without damage to implant site
- Dental implants can last a lifetime, but the implant crown can need replacing over time.
- Periodic replacement of dental implant crowns, when/if needed, is made easier when using screw-retained implant crowns.
*A temporary crown may be put in place while waiting for the implant crown. Care will need to be taken to keep the temporary from needing replacement causing an additional visit to the office.
