The crown brings an implant into everyday use.
An implant crown is the visible tooth attached to an implant through a connecting component. Its design needs to consider the smile, neighbouring teeth, gum shape and the forces created when you bite.
If you are in Simcoe and need the restorative stage of implant care, our Port Dover team can review the plan and existing records. An implant placed elsewhere requires information about its system and treatment history.
Your care, step by step
Fitting a crown to an implant
01
Confirm readiness
The implant site and records are reviewed before restorative work is planned.
02
Record the position
Scans or impressions and bite records guide the crown and connecting components.
03
Fit and review
Contacts, appearance and bite are checked, followed by instructions for cleaning and ongoing monitoring.
A detail worth discussing
Report movement rather than testing it.
A loose feeling may involve the crown, a component or the implant itself. Avoid repeatedly wiggling it and contact the office so the source can be assessed.
Tell the team when the movement started, whether the crown was recently fitted and which office placed the implant. Records about the implant system can help the treating clinician understand the existing restoration. If a repair is proposed, ask which component needs attention and whether further assessment is needed. After fitting or repair, request clear cleaning instructions and a review plan for the crown and the tissues around it.
Planning your visit from Simcoe
Arrange records before coming from Simcoe.
Ask the placing office for implant details and relevant imaging. Tell us about any discomfort, looseness or change in the gum before the fitting appointment.
Appointments take place at our Port Dover office. When requesting a time, let us know you are coming from Simcoe and ask about the expected visit length.

Understanding the implant crown
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Is it the same as a crown on a natural tooth?
Its support is different. An implant crown attaches to implant components, while a conventional crown covers a prepared natural tooth.
Can the crown get a cavity?
The artificial crown cannot decay like natural enamel, but tissues around the implant can develop disease and still need care.
Can any crown fit any implant?
No. Compatible components and accurate information about the implant system are needed for safe restorative planning.
