What is an Implant Crown?
An implant crown is the visible part of a dental implant restoration—the custom-made tooth that sits on top of the titanium implant post anchored in the jawbone. Unlike traditional crowns, which are placed over existing teeth, implant crowns replace a missing tooth entirely from the root up. These crowns are designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile. They restore full chewing function and are ideal for patients who have lost a tooth due to decay, trauma, or gum disease. A well-designed crown not only improves aesthetics but also supports neighboring teeth and helps maintain bone health.
The Esthetic Value of Dental Crown Implants
Today’s dental crowns are crafted with precision using materials like porcelain or zirconia for a highly natural look. Their translucency and shading can be matched to surrounding teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel. In cases where a front tooth is missing, the esthetic quality of an implant crown becomes especially important. At Westcoast Smile, we focus on creating implant restorations that not only function beautifully but also enhance your overall facial harmony. Proper contouring of the gum line and crown shape ensures a symmetrical, youthful smile that looks and feels authentic.
CEREC Technology and Same-Day Crown Implants
In many cases, patients can benefit from our advanced CEREC technology to receive a custom implant crown in a single visit. CEREC—Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics—uses 3D digital imaging and in-office milling to fabricate crowns on the spot. This reduces wait times, eliminates the need for temporary crowns, and delivers an exact fit in just one appointment. While not all implant crown cases are suitable for same-day placement, CEREC can often be used for the final crown once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone. Learn more about our CEREC: Crown in a Day service to see if it’s right for you.
Why Choose an Dental Crown for Tooth Replacement?
Choosing an implant crown as part of your tooth replacement solution offers numerous long-term advantages. Unlike dental bridges or removable dentures, an implant-supported crown doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, which helps preserve your natural tooth structure. It also promotes jawbone health by stimulating bone growth where the tooth was lost—something no other restoration can offer. With proper care, an implant crown can last 15 years or longer.
Combined with our expertise in digital dentistry and esthetic design, Westcoast Smile ensures that each implant crown delivers durability, precision, and beauty tailored to each patient’s needs. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or part of a full-mouth restoration, implant crowns play a vital role in a confident and functional smile.
