Getting a crown or bridge on your implant feels like another big expense after you already paid for the implant surgery. Many patients worry the restoration won't match their other teeth or that something will go wrong after spending so much money.
Dr. Maddipati shows you exactly what your implant restoration will cost before we start and explains what your insurance covers for the crown or bridge portion. She takes impressions carefully and checks the fit multiple times to make sure your new tooth matches your bite and looks natural.
Implant restoration places a crown, bridge, or denture on top of a dental implant — a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial root.
Benefits of Implant Restoration
Designed to restore function and appearance — outcomes vary by individual
Fixed restoration — care and longevity discussed at consultation
Preserves jawbone and prevents bone loss
Does not require modifying adjacent healthy teeth
Can are a long-lasting tooth replacement solution with proper care
The Process
Once the implant post has fully integrated with the jawbone (osseointegration), we place an abutment and then fit a custom crown to complete the restoration.
