6 Key Facts You Should Know about Dental Implant Crowns
It’s not uncommon for people to lose one or two teeth during their lifetime. What’s important is replacing those teeth to avoid complications in the future. At Flower Mound Dental in Flower Mound, Texas, we recommend restoring your smile with dental implant crowns. When it comes to health, functionality, and appearance of your smile, implants have more to offer than any other restorative treatment. Learning more about implant crowns can help you determine if they’re right for you.
Here are six key facts you should know about this treatment:
1. Simple Procedure
Single implants are paired with dental crowns as replacement teeth. Contrary to what people may think, oral surgery for single implants is simple and can be completed in one dental visit. Dr. William Wyatt will place the implant inside your jawbone in the area where your tooth went missing. Then we’ll wait for the implant to fuse with your bone tissue and heal. After it’s healed, we’ll attach an abutment (connector) and your crown to the implant to finalize your procedure.
2. Natural Appearance
Implant crowns are custom-made to resemble your natural teeth. They look so much like real teeth that people often have a hard time distinguishing the two! Porcelain crowns have the same color and sheen as natural tooth enamel. Placed within the gaps left by missing teeth, these ceramic tooth caps will blend in seamlessly with nearby teeth to complete your smile naturally.
3. Long-lasting Â
Implant crowns are fixed restorations that remain in your mouth permanently after placement. They’re anchored in place by titanium implants that function like tooth roots. With good oral care, your crown can last 20 or more years before needing to be replaced.
4. Strong & Durable  Â
Implant crowns are comparable to natural teeth in strength and durability and will boost your smile’s functionality. In place of gaps in your smile, you’ll have a full set of teeth for eating, speaking, smiling, and laughing. You’ll be able to eat the food you love, including crunchy and crispy foods that may have been difficult to chew with missing teeth. Implant crowns can also remedy problems with clear speech.Â

5. Easy Maintenance & Care
Implant crowns don’t require special care. They’re brushed and flossed, just like natural teeth. In addition to home oral care, Dr. William Wyatt will see you every six months for professional cleanings to help keep your crowns healthy and strong long-term.
6. Contribute to Good Oral Health
Tooth loss can lead to an array of complications with your oral health, ranging from increased decay to bone loss, gum recession, dental drift, and periodontal disease. Implant crowns help prevent these problems to protect your oral health. Your investment in implant crowns will go a long way toward restoring the integrity of your smile.
