If you are interested in an effective and permanent solution for one or more missing teeth, dental implant crowns might be right for you! West Peaks Dental Suite is pleased to offer dental implant crowns, as a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth!
While a dental crown is attached to a tooth with an already existing root structure, a dental implant crown replaces an entire tooth (or multiple teeth) including the tooth root. Unlike a dental crown that sits just above the gumline, an implant is placed into the jawbone, and a dental implant crown is then attached by a screw. The screw, or small titanium steel post, is permanently placed in your jaw where missing teeth are to replace the roots of the missing teeth, and the implant is fixed into the jaw and bonded to your bone. This creates a strong foundation to place your artificial tooth replacement. Once fitted, a dental implant crown connects to the bone through a process called osseointegration, whereby new bone cells grow around the screw-like post and keep the crown secure. The implant is below the gumline and not visible.
A dental implant crown looks and performs just like a natural tooth and, if cared for properly, dental implant crowns can last for years. Dental implant crowns are recommended for healthy people who have adequate bone levels in their jaw to support the dental implant. It is also important that the gum tissue is healthy and free of periodontal disease for the dental implant treatment to be successful. As such, regular dental teeth cleanings and check-ups are very important!
If you are looking for a natural and high-functioning restoration for replacing missing teeth, dental implant crowns might be right for you!
