How Much for a Crown for my Dental Implant?

Once a dental implant is placed and healing occurs (this usually takes approximately three months) it can then be restored. After the surgical uncovering, an impression is taken of the exposed head of the implant. This impression is sent to a lab where a custom abutment (that part which screws into the head of the implant and fits under the crown) and implant crown are fabricated. The cost to restore an implant consists of the cost of the custom abutment (approximately $675) plus the cost of the implant crown (Approximately $1250) So the answer to your question is yes, any time after the initial 3 month healing period, the implant can be restored. The only problem which may exist is that the adjacent and opposing teeth being held in position by the flipper ( which can wear thin over time) can shift creating less room for the implant thereby compromising the final result.

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.
