Implant Crown: Crown on Implant Explained – clinical presentation

1. What is an Implant Crown?

An implant crown consists of two parts: the implant (titanium screw in the bone, replaces the tooth root) and the crown (visible tooth portion made of ceramic or metal). Both are connected by an abutment.

🔩

Implant

Titanium screw, osseointegrated in the bone. Permanently replaces the tooth root.

🔗

Abutment

Connecting piece between implant and crown. Individually fabricated.

👑

Crown

Visible tooth portion made of ceramic. Optically and functionally like a natural tooth.

Limitations and Possible Risks

Individual Healing Courses

Each patient responds differently to treatment. Predictions about results are always approximations.

Complications are Possible

As with any medical procedure, unexpected complications may occur. Open communication with your dentist is important.

Method Limitations

Not every treatment is suitable for every patient. General health conditions, medications, and anatomical features may limit available options.

Follow-up Treatment May Be Needed

In some cases, adjustments or additional measures may be necessary that cannot be fully planned beforehand.
