Dental Implant Crowns in Kenmore
One of the most long-lasting ways to replace a missing tooth is with a dental implant, which is a titanium screw that replaces the root of a lost or extracted tooth. If you choose to restore your smile with an artificial tooth root, we will refer you to an oral surgeon to first have the tooth removed.
If you’ve already had the tooth removed, then we will send you to the surgeon to get the titanium implant screw placed. Once the prosthesis is placed in the jaw, it needs time to become strong and the surrounding bone to strengthen.
After three months, you will return to the oral surgeon to see if the artificial tooth root is strong and ready for a crown. If it is, they will refer you back to us here at Princeton Dental for the crown procedure.
What Does the Process Involve?
During this visit, we will take moulds of your gum area and the top of the implant, so that a skilled dental ceramist can create a custom crown. Finally, you’ll come in for the crown to be placed, completing the process. The crown looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Exploring Alternatives
While dental implant crowns are an excellent option for tooth replacement, there are alternatives we discuss during the initial consultation. These alternatives include bridges and dentures. During this consultation, we will explain the pros and cons, as well as the costs associated with each option, allowing you to make an informed decision.
