Implant Crown
Have questions about this treatment? We believe in informed decisions. Below you'll find answers to the most commonly asked questions about this service, covering everything from the procedure to recovery and results.
An implant crown is the visible tooth-like restoration placed on top of a dental implant once it has fully integrated with the jawbone. It is custom-fabricated to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth.
After your implant has healed, Dr. Kim takes impressions or digital scans and sends them to our dental lab. Your custom crown is then attached to the implant abutment for a seamless, permanent result.
Implant crowns look and function exactly like natural teeth. They do not require modification of adjacent teeth and provide a permanent, stable replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Everything You Need to Know
Common Questions About This Treatment
How long after implant placement do I get my crown?
Crown placement typically occurs three to six months after implant surgery, once the implant has fully integrated with the bone. Dr. Kim will confirm the timing based on your healing progress.
What is the typical experience like?
Your implant crown is custom-designed and fabricated to match your surrounding teeth perfectly. At the delivery appointment, it's securely attached to your healed implant for a seamless, permanent result.
How long does it usually take?
Crown fabrication takes 2-3 weeks after impressions are taken. The attachment appointment takes about 30 minutes, and your crown is immediately functional once placed.
What should I know about recovery after?
No recovery needed. Your implant crown functions immediately like a natural tooth. With proper care, it can last a lifetime and should feel completely natural within days of placement.
