What are Dental Crowns for Implants?

Dental Crowns for Implants or Implant crowns are dental prostheses used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Dental Crowns for Implants are designed to be affixed with the dental implant fused into the jawbone. Dental implants are tiny post-like structures that are inserted surgically into the jawbones. Once the implant fuses with the bone, it is loaded with the prosthesis. Various types of Dental Crowns for Implants are available with us at Dr. Sindha Dental Clinic, Bharuch.

In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss the various types- brought to you by Dr. Sindha Dental Clinic, Bharuch.

Types of Dental Implant Crowns

Porcelain or ceramic

Porcelain or ceramic crowns are made from high-quality dental material that resembles the surrounding teeth. They are well known for their natural appearance and aesthetics. They are often used to replace front teeth because of their ability to match nature.

Zirconia implant crowns

It is a type of ceramic material that is extremely strong. They are highly durable and are primarily used in areas of high bite pressure, such as back teeth, especially the molars.

E-max crowns

It is an all-ceramic dental crown made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic material. One of the significant advantages is their high strength and durability. They are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear. They are less likely to chip off or crack than other dental crowns.

In addition, eMax crowns are also highly aesthetic and can be matched to the color of your natural teeth for a natural-looking result. The material’s translucency allows the crown to blend in with the surrounding teeth, making it virtually indistinguishable from adjacent natural teeth.

Aftercare of Dental Crowns for Implants

Brush and floss regularly

Brushing and flossing regularly are essential to maintain good oral hygiene. It prevents plaque buildup, which can cause gum disease and other dental problems like dental caries. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with the correct technique and non-abrasive toothpaste to clean the areas around the implant crowns. It is to be noted that though implants are resistant to caries, the surrounding areas can get inflamed due to plaque deposition.

Use an antimicrobial mouthwash

An antimicrobial mouthwash should be used if suggested by our team at Dr. Sindha Dental Clinic, Bharuch. It can help to kill bacteria in your mouth and reduce the risk of gum disease or infection around your implant crown. Please note that it is not a substitute for brushing and flossing.

Avoid hard foods

Hard or sticky foods can damage your implant crown by putting extra pressure on it. The implant crown can become loose, or the implant might fail. Avoid eating hard candies, popcorn, ice, and other sticky foods like chewing gum or caramel that can cause damage.

Regular check-ups

Schedule regular check-ups with our team to ensure the health of your implant crown and identify any early signs of disease. Don’t miss the frequent follow-up visits arranged by our team at Dr. Sindha Dental Clinic, Bharuch.
