What is a dental implant crown?

A dental implant crown is used to replace a single missing tooth. An implant composes of 3 parts – implant post, abutment and crown. The implant post acts similiar to a new tooth root. A crown over the implant is a false tooth. The abutment is a component parts that holds the crown and enables it to be screwed or cemented into the implant post.

  4. Natural appearance if opting for all ceramic or porcelain based crown and bridge materials
Limitations of dental bridge
  1. Requires adjacent teeth to missing gap to be tampered, therefore dental bridges requires sacrificing natural healthy teeth.
  2. Traditional dental bridges places biting pressure on adjacent teeth that are anchors. If there is constant heavy load bite over these the supporting teeth, may become loose or weak over time.
  3. As dental bridges sits over natural teeth, good oral hygiene and cleaning is require for long-lasting results. You will need to floss and clean between teeth to avoid debris or bacteria from catching along gumlines of the bridge and avoiding tooth decay.

Implant Crown

A single lost tooth is replaced with a dental implant crown

Advantage of implant crown
  1. Does not sacrifice or tampers with existing surrouding natural teeth.
  2. Implant crowns allows you to chew normally and is unmatched in strength and stability of a traditional dental bridge.
  3. Dental implant posts do not decay, they are easy to maintain and care for.
Limitations of an implant crown

  2. The costs for dental implant may be higher than bridges. However, prices of dental implants has become a lot more affordable and the cost difference between a 3 unit bridge and 1 dental crown has now significantly narrowed. Implant costs varies with the implant range and brand chosen.
