An implant crown is a single artificial tooth that is attached to a dental implant. The dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. An implant bridge is used when multiple adjacent teeth are missing. An implant bridge uses two or more dental implants to support a series of artificial teeth (pontics), instead of placing an individual implant for each missing tooth.

Components of an Implant Crown/Bridge System:

• Dental Implant (Fixture)
• Abutment (foundation that secures the Crown/Bridge)
• Crown or Bridge (Prosthesis)

The Implant Crown/Bridge process typically involves:

• Implant Placement
• Healing
• Abutment Placement
• Crown/Bridge Placement

Benefits of Implant Crowns (single tooth) or Bridges (several teeth):

• Natural Look & Feel
• Superior Stability & Function
• No Alteration of Adjacent Teeth
• Durability & Longevity
• Improved Oral Health
• Enhanced Confidence
