FAQs – Implant Crowns
What is the difference between a dental implant and an implant crown?
A dental implant is the titanium post placed in the jawbone, while the implant crown is the visible tooth that sits on top of the implant.
How long do implant crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implant crowns can last many years. Longevity depends on oral health, bite forces, and maintenance.
Are implant crowns painful?
Placing the implant crown itself is not painful. It is fitted after the implant has healed, and the procedure is generally straightforward.
Do implant crowns look natural?
Yes. Implant crowns are custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Can an implant crown replace just one tooth?
Yes. Implant crowns are commonly used to replace a single missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth.
How do I care for an implant crown?
Implant crowns should be cared for like natural teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.
