A dental implant and crowns is one of the ways if not the best way to restore missing or badly decayed teeth.
At Perfect Smile Dental Implant Centre Hungary many of our patients that have received their dental plans in Hungarian Dentists Wexford often go for implant supported dental crowns.
The connection between dental implant and crowns
A dental implant is a very popular treatment option for patients that have missing teeth.
They are also appropriate for patients that need teeth extracted because they are badly decayed or are in a stage of advanced disease.
The roots of the extracted tooth will be surgically replaced with a titanium post (implant) into the jawbone.
Following a 4 month waiting period for osseointegration (bone fusion) to take place the patient will have the dental implant restoration procedure (dental implant and crowns).
The dental implant restoration procedure involves the dental implant and crowns being connected together.
The crowns are cemented or screwed into place on top of the abutment forming the full dental restoration.
Attaching the crowns to the implant
Screws are used to attach the crowns to the implants, dental implants are strategically aligned by our experienced surgeon so that it’s possible for the crowns to be attached.
The implant must come through the surrounding gum tissue at the correct angle.
The abutment is the connecting link between the dental implant and the crowns.
The three components used in this procedure make it easier to take them apart if needed.
For example if something happened to the crowns they can be easily removed without causing any issues for the dental implant.
Do crowns last forever
Do dental crowns last forever.? The implant should last a lifetime because it is deeply embedded into the jawbone, however the majority of dental crowns last 10-15 years.
In effect this means the crowns will need replacing, the replacement process is much simpler and more cost effective when the screw is used to attach the implant and crowns together.
Aesthetic appeal
Many of our patients at Perfect Smile Hungary and Hungarian Dentists Wexford prefer implant crowns to be cemented together because of the aesthetic appeal.
Dentists prefer to cement the crowns to the abutment because screws may be seen.
This is particularly true where an implant and crowns are replacing front teeth, its not so much an issue with back teeth.
