The post and the abutment to a tooth implant are covered once the implant is in place. The titanium post will be securely held in your jaw by the process of osseointegration. The abutment is placed atop the post, and holds the crown. An implant crown (the tooth-like part that shows) is custom sculpted just for you. Dental technology is used to take images of the damaged tooth (before removal) or in some cases a nearby tooth may be used to provide the image for the crown. Because color, size and shape can be matched precisely, most crowns blend beautifully into a smile.
Implant posts are made of titanium, and become a part of your jaw. An implant crown is made from durable resins or porcelain, and with proper care, should last for 10-20 years. We will give your specific instructions to help guide you through your dental implant surgery. Afterwards, proper care of your implant includes habits you already have in place for your natural teeth. For example:
