What Is an Implant Crown?

An implant crown is a replacement tooth that is attached to a dental implant. Because crowns are made to replace missing teeth, they are created to look like your natural teeth in shape, size and color. This means your crown will blend in with your smile. 


Our dentists in Rockaway Beach, NY are skilled at matching the shape and color of your new crown with your existing natural teeth. Once we've completed your restoration, no one will even be able to tell you have a dental implant!

Are All Implant Crowns the Same?

Crowns come in varying materials, and the right crown for you will depend on your dental needs and overall aesthetic goals. Not only does the crown restore your smile, but it can improve your overall dental health and confidence, so it’s important to know what your choices are. The most common types of crown are composed of: 

  • Porcelain Fused to Metal

    This type is extremely popular because it is so durable. Plus, porcelain is the best material to mimic the shine of your natural teeth. It's also stain-resistant, which means you can keep your crown looking brighter for longer.

  • Ceramic

    Crowns made from various ceramic materials, such as zirconia, are also popular because they are strong and long-lasting.  They are also less likely to chip or break than other types of crowns. 

  • Composite Resin

    This is the same material that is used for tooth-colored fillings, which makes it a great choice for color matching to your natural teeth.  However, this type of crown is not as strong as other options and may need to be replaced more often. 

  • Metal

    Metal crowns are typically used on molars so that they do not detract from your smile. One of the most common types of metal used for crowns is stainless steel because of its strength and durability. 

What Is the Procedure for Attaching an Implant Crown?

When it's time to get your new crown placed on your dental implant, the procedure is quite simple. 


  1. The first step is to numb the area around your implant with local anesthesia. This will ensure that you are comfortable during the crown placement procedure.
  2. If you have a temporary crown in place, we will remove it so that we can attach your permanent crown.
  3. We will put your new crown in place without fully attaching it so that we can assess the fit and make any needed adjustments to the crown's shape or size.
  4. Once your new crown is ready, we will attach it to your dental implant. This can either be done with a special type of cement that bonds your crown to your implant, or it can be done with a crown that screws into place on your dental implant. Either method used will ensure the crown stays attached to your implant securely. 
  5. After your crown is in place, we will make sure that it fits comfortably and, if cement was used, remove any excess cement from around your new tooth.
  6. Once we are satisfied with the fit of your new crown, we will go over aftercare instructions with you so that you can keep your smile looking its best.
