What is the Difference Between Implant-Supported Crowns and Other Types of Dental Crowns?
Implant-supported crowns differ from traditional crowns primarily in the way they are attached. While traditional crowns are placed over an existing tooth that has been shaped to provide support, implant-supported crowns are attached to a dental implant surgically placed in the jawbone. This implant acts as an artificial tooth root, providing unmatched stability and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions about implant-supported crowns
How long does the implant-supported crown procedure take?
The entire process can take several months. This includes the healing period after implant placement (3 to 6 months) and the time to attach the crown. Your dentist will guide you through each step and timeline.
Does getting an implant-supported crown hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure since it’s done under local anesthesia. Some mild soreness or swelling afterward is normal but can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long do implant-supported crowns last?
With proper care, the implant itself can last a lifetime, and the crown typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more. Regular checkups and good oral hygiene are key to keeping them in great condition.
Are implant-supported crowns covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan. Some insurance policies cover part of the crown or the implant, but not always both. We can help you review your benefits and discuss financing options if needed.
What is the difference between import-supported crowns and traditional crowns?
An implant-supported crown is attached to a dental implant placed in your jawbone, replacing a missing tooth entirely. A traditional crown, on the other hand, fits over an existing tooth that has been prepared. Implants provide a more stable, long-term solution when a tooth is missing.
