A secure, long-lasting solution for a single missing tooth.
If you’ve lost a tooth, you might be wondering how to fill the gap — in a way that feels natural, looks good, and lasts. That’s where implant crowns come in.
Unlike a removable denture or a bridge that affects neighbouring teeth, a dental implant crown replaces the missing tooth from the root up. It functions independently, just like a natural tooth.
What is an implant crown?
An implant crown is a custom-made ceramic tooth that sits on top of a dental implant — a small titanium post that’s placed in the jawbone where your natural root once was. The implant acts as a new foundation, keeping the crown stable and secure.
It’s a bit like planting a fence post before attaching the top rail — strong, permanent, and built to last.
Why choose implant crowns?
Dental implants are often the best solution to replace missing teeth because it is a 1-tooth solution to a 1-tooth problem.
Natural look and feel
The crown is colour-matched to your surrounding teeth and shaped to blend seamlessly. It feels solid, not bulky or loose.
No impact on other teeth
Unlike dental bridges, implant crowns don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
Easy to care for
Brush, floss, and eat as usual. An implant crown becomes part of your everyday bite — no special tools or routines required.
Strong and durable
With proper care, implant crowns can last many years, often decades.
What’s involved in treatment?
We start with a full assessment, including 3D imaging, to ensure the implant can be safely placed in the ideal position. If everything looks good, the process typically includes:
- Placing the implant (the titanium post) into your jawbone
- Letting it heal and integrate with the bone — usually 3–4 months
- Attaching your custom-made crown for a final, natural result
We guide you through each step, answering questions and making sure you’re comfortable at every stage.
Affordable, high-quality care
At Creswick Dental Centre, we use well-regarded implant systems and partner with local dental labs to create crowns that are made to last — with attention to both function and appearance. Our aim is to offer treatment that’s tailored, reliable, and genuinely good value.
Is an implant crown right for you?
An implant crown is ideal if you’re missing a single tooth and want a durable, independent replacement. It’s important to have good bone levels and healthy gums — we’ll assess this as part of your consultation.
