Implant Crowns in Los Angeles, CA

What Is an Implant Crown?

An implant crown is the visible portion of your dental implant restoration. It attaches to an implant post (placed by a specialist) and serves as the replacement for the missing tooth.

We design each crown to match your surrounding teeth in:

• Shape and size
  
• Color and translucency
  
• Bite alignment
  
• Function and durability
  

Whether you need a single implant crown or are replacing multiple teeth with implant-supported bridges, we use digital precision and artistry to ensure the result feels just like your own tooth.

When Do You Need an Implant Crown?

You’ll need a custom implant crown if you’ve already had:

• A dental implant placed for a missing tooth
  
• A tooth extracted and replaced with an implant
  
• A fractured crown on an existing implant
  
• An older implant restoration that needs to be updated
  

We often place implant crowns as part of a larger smile makeover or full-mouth restoration.

Types of Implant Crowns We Offer

We work with both cement-retained and screw-retained implant crowns, depending on your case. Options include:

• Zirconia Crowns – Extremely strong and natural-looking
  
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) – Durable with aesthetic benefits
  
• All-Ceramic Crowns – Best for front teeth or cosmetic restorations
  

Our goal is to create a crown that complements your overall smile and bite while standing up to everyday use.

What to Expect: The Implant Crown Process

Your implant crown procedure typically includes:

Step 1: Evaluation & Digital Scan

We assess your implant site, healing status, and take digital impressions to begin custom design.

Step 2: Abutment Placement

A connector (abutment) is attached to your implant post to support the crown.

Step 3: Custom Crown Fabrication

Your crown is created in a dental lab to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and bite.

Step 4: Final Placement

We bond or screw the crown into place and check for fit, bite balance, and aesthetics.

Dental cleanings & exams are key to maintaining your implant and crown long-term.

Implant Crowns vs. Traditional Crowns

While porcelain crowns cover natural teeth, implant crowns are secured to posts anchored in your jawbone. They don’t require shaping nearby teeth and offer greater longevity and bone preservation.

If you’ve already undergone dental implant placement, completing the process with a high-quality crown is essential for success.
