A Long-term Solution for Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth can affect your smile, your confidence, and even your ability to chew properly. At Riverside Dental in Tucson, AZ, we offer implant crowns as a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Implant crowns not only restore your smile’s appearance but also bring back the full function of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
What Are Implant Crowns?
An implant crown is a type of dental crown placed on a dental implant to replace a missing tooth. The dental implant acts as a replacement root, providing a solid foundation for the crown to be attached. This makes implant crowns a reliable and long-lasting alternative to traditional bridges or dentures. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Benefits of Implant Crowns
Implant crowns are a great option for many reasons:
- Natural Look: Implant crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
- Durability: With proper care, implant crowns can last for decades, making them a long-term solution for missing teeth.
- Preserve Jawbone Health: The implant stimulates the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
- No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike bridges, implant crowns do not require altering the surrounding teeth, preserving your healthy teeth.
What to Expect From the Procedure
The process of receiving an implant crown involves two main steps:
- Placing the Implant: The first step is the placement of the dental implant into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia and takes a few months for the implant to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
- Attaching the Crown: Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, we’ll place the custom-made crown on top. This crown is securely attached to the implant, completing the restoration of your tooth.
Caring for Your Implant Crown
Caring for an implant crown is easy and similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to Riverside Dental for check-ups are essential to keep your implant crown in great condition. Avoid chewing on hard objects to ensure the longevity of your crown.
