When a dental implant is installed it must be completed with a crown or a bridge. This goes over the top of the implant post and is the only portion that will be seen above the gum line. Created to look similar to the teeth around them and to blend in, the crown can be made of a few materials such as ceramic, porcelain, or even a glass mixture.

When using a dental implant to replace a missing or extracted tooth, a porcelain crown can be formed to fit the space between the other teeth and cover the implant. It is easily moldable and can be created in the shape necessary, as well as being able to be adjusted after being installed, allowing for the right alignment to be achieved. This creates an appearance of a natural tooth which is often a boost to the confidence of the patient.
Porcelain is highly compatible with the human body and therefore has a very low rate of reaction or allergy after being placed into the mouth either over a tooth or cover a dental implant. Providing a safe, strong replacement that can appear closer to the natural teeth than other materials makes this a great choice for a crown.
Book your consultation at our Vancouver Implant Clinic to determine whether you require a dental implant with a crown and if porcelain is the right material for you. Our professional and experienced staff will help create a comfortable process and answer all your questions before the procedure and for the aftercare. We can fill all your dental implant needs including repair and replacement when required.
When you have a damaged, infected, or missing tooth, a dental implant can be the solution, and a porcelain crown can offer a natural-appearing, strong replacement that can be used for years to come, and requires only the same dental care that your other teeth will.
