Implant-Supported Crown In KL, Malaysia
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the bone to replace a missing tooth’s root. As the bone regrows and fuses to the implant during a process known as osseointegration, the implant can be used to fix crowns, bridges, and dentures.
When a single missing tooth is replaced with an implant, two parts are attached to the implant: the abutment and the crown. The abutment is a specially made connecting post that connects the crown to the implant. The entire procedure is known as an implant supported crown.
When dental implant is used to replace a tooth?
When a tooth is no longer healthy and not able to support a filling or crown, a dental implant is used. In some ways, the implant is a new beginning, and the crown will be placed on a new structure in your mouth that has not been subjected to decades of use and, in some cases, trauma. The implant-supported crown procedure also does not necessitate major changes to the other teeth, as a dental bridge does.
The implant-supported crown only needs to be unscrewed, modified, and then reattached when maintenance is needed. Teeth change over time. However, since implants are anchored to the bone, their position cannot be altered. Teeth will shift position gradually around the implant crown. If there is a significant difference, the abutment/crown may need to be replaced.
Implant crowns are more expensive than tooth-bound crowns due to the complexity of the work involved, labor and material costs. Call us at for more information on implant crowns.
