What Are Implant-Retained Crowns?
Traditional dental crowns are designed to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth, offering added strength and support. When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, an implant-retained crown is a modern solution. Often used to replace a single missing tooth, an implant-retained crown can also support two fused teeth on the same implant. The implant acts as a stable foundation, making the crown durable against chewing, grinding, and other daily activities. Each crown is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth color, shape, and size. At Kaceli Dental + Medical Aesthetics Studio in Norwood, MA, Dr. Monika Kaceli is proud to offer implant-supported crowns as a cutting-edge option for replacing missing teeth.
What Should I Expect During An Implant-Retained Crown Procedure?
The process of receiving an implant-supported crown typically involves two stages and may take a few months to complete. The first stage is implant surgery, during which a post is placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation. A recovery period of approximately 2 – 3 months follows, allowing the implant to integrate with the bone. Before proceeding to the next step, Dr. Kaceli will take detailed dental impressions to create a custom crown that fits precisely. Once the implant has fully healed and integrated, the crown will be securely attached to the implant. If needed, Dr. Kaceli can make minor adjustments during this stage to promote a comfortable fit and proper function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do implant-retained crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implant-retained crowns can last for many years. The dental implant itself is designed to be a long-term tooth replacement solution, while the crown may eventually need replacement due to normal wear over time. Maintaining healthy gums and practicing consistent dental care can help extend the longevity of your dental implant restoration.
Are implant-retained crowns better than dental bridges?
Both treatments can restore missing teeth, but implant-retained crowns offer advantages because they do not require altering healthy adjacent teeth. Dental implants also help stimulate the jawbone, which may reduce bone loss associated with missing teeth. Our team at Kaceli Dental Studio can help patients in Norwood, MA determine whether a dental bridge or implant-supported crown is the best option for their smile goals.
How much do implant-retained crowns cost?
The cost of an implant-retained crown can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of treatment, the need for additional procedures, the materials used, and whether a dental implant has already been placed. During a consultation, our team at Kaceli Dental Studio can evaluate your needs and provide a personalized treatment estimate for implant-retained crowns in Norwood, MA while discussing available payment and financing options.
