How Much for a Crown for my Dental Implant?

Question

I had a dental implant placed 8 years ago. I did not and still do not have dental insurance so I put off getting the crown (I believe its called a crown- it is the tooth part). My flipper just broke. Is it still possible to cut open my gum and place the crown? How much will it cost, ballpark quote?

You have completed 1/3 of treatment, you now need a crown and an abutment (a connector to join the crown TO the implant).  Fees will vary from area to area and office to office, so it is hard to quote a correct fee.  Abutments can range from $300-800 and crowns from $1200-1900.

Cela, thank you for your question. As long as implant integrated with the bone, and it sounds like it did, it is absolutely possible to place crown on the implant now. A part called an abutment will be needed though. That part will connect actual implant, which is deep  in the bone, to the crown. Think of that part as a stage, upon which crown would be placed.All the best to you.

The implant has been under the gum tissue for several years. The first thing will be to get the gum tissue looking correct so it matches the adjacent teeth. There are a number of ways to do this. Next, a impression will be taken so the lab can make the custom part that comes out of the implant and then probably an all ceramic crown will be made for optimum aesthetics. The fees depend on your local area and those listed above are fairly accurate.

It sounds as if you need both the implant abutment and the crown. The cost of the abutment will depend on whether it is a stock or a custom made one, and implant crowns are more expensive to have made than tooth crowns. A ballpark number would be around $2100 for both.

Here in Beverly Hills my fees are $1700 for implant crowns,but they go as high as $2400 in some places. They are more complicated to make and therefore the lab charges more in material costs and gold etc.
