An implant crown replaces the visible portion of a missing tooth, restoring both function and aesthetics. This prosthetic tooth is attached to a dental implant that acts as an artificial root, creating a permanent solution for tooth loss. At Boynton Beach Dental Services, Dr. Eliseo Fiffe and Dr. Katiuska McIntosh use advanced technology to deliver reliable results that last for decades.

Implant crowns offer several advantages over traditional restorations. They prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and function like natural teeth. With proper care, an implant crown can last 25 years or longer. Our husband-wife dental team uses the iTero Scanner to ensure precise impressions, and CT imaging to plan implant placement with accuracy. We take time to explain each phase of treatment and answer questions throughout the process.

How Do Implant Crowns Work?

The implant crown process involves multiple stages over several months. First, Dr. Fiffe places a titanium implant into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. This implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, which typically takes three to six months. During this healing period, a temporary restoration may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function.

Once the implant integrates fully, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the crown. We then take digital impressions using our iTero Scanner, which eliminates the need for messy impression materials. The custom crown is fabricated to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. Finally, the crown is secured to the abutment, completing your restoration.

What Materials Are Used for Implant Crowns?

Dental crowns can be made from various materials, each offering different benefits. Porcelain crowns provide excellent aesthetics and are ideal for front teeth replacements. These crowns are color-matched to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine strength with aesthetics. The metal substructure provides durability, while the porcelain overlay maintains a natural appearance. Zirconia crowns offer superior strength and durability, making them an excellent choice for molars that endure significant chewing forces. During your consultation, we help you select the material that best suits your needs and budget.

Benefits of Choosing Implant Crowns

Implant crowns preserve jawbone density by stimulating the bone through chewing forces. This prevents the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction. Without this stimulation, the jawbone can deteriorate, leading to changes in facial structure and additional tooth loss.

These restorations provide stability and comfort. Unlike removable dentures, implant crowns remain fixed in place and do not slip or click during eating or speaking. You can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions or concerns about your restoration moving. The crown is cleaned like a natural tooth through regular brushing and flossing.

The Implant Crowns Consultation Process

Your initial visit includes a comprehensive examination and digital imaging to assess bone quality and quantity. We use CT imaging to evaluate the implant site and plan the procedure with precision. This technology allows us to identify the optimal implant position and angle before beginning treatment.

We discuss your medical history and medications to ensure you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. Certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or active periodontal disease, may need to be addressed before implant placement. If insufficient bone is present, bone grafting may be necessary to create a stable foundation for the implant.

Caring for Your Implant Crown

Maintaining an implant crown requires the same oral hygiene practices as natural teeth. Brush twice daily and floss once daily to remove plaque and prevent inflammation around the implant. Regular dental cleanings and examinations at six-month intervals help monitor the health of your implant and surrounding tissues.

Avoid using your implant crown to open packages or bite hard objects, as excessive force can damage the crown or implant. If you grind your teeth at night, a custom night guard can protect your investment. Our team provides detailed care instructions and remains available to address any concerns as they arise.

Cost and Financing Options For Implant Crowns

The cost of an implant crown varies based on several factors, including the crown material, the complexity of the case, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and break down all costs involved.

We accept PPO dental insurance plans and work with CareCredit to offer flexible payment options. Many insurance plans provide partial coverage for implant crowns, and our team handles insurance claims to maximize your benefits. We believe financial concerns should not prevent you from receiving quality care.
