Case Study: Placing a Crown Over a Dental Implant

Introduction: Restoring a Smile with a Dental Implant Crown
At Alpha Plus Dental Center, we specialize in restoring missing teeth with dental implants and custom crowns to give our patients a functional, beautiful smile. This case study showcases the process of placing a crown over a dental implant, transforming a patient’s dental health and confidence.
Step 1: Understanding the Dental Implant Process
A dental implant consists of three parts:
- The Implant Post – A titanium or zirconia screw placed in the jawbone.
- The Abutment – A connector that attaches the crown to the implant.
- The Crown – A custom-made artificial tooth that restores function and aesthetics.
This patient had previously received an implant post, and the final step was placing a custom crown for a natural, long-lasting smile.
Step 2: The Crown Placement Process
- Exam & Digital Impressions
Using advanced intraoral scanning technology, we took digital impressions of the patient’s mouth to create a precise, perfectly fitting crown. - Selecting the Right Crown
The patient chose a high-quality zirconia crown for its durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. - Attaching the Abutment
The abutment, which connects the implant post to the crown, was securely placed. This ensures a strong foundation for the final restoration. - Securing the Crown
We carefully placed the custom zirconia crown, checking for proper fit, bite alignment, and natural aesthetics. - Final Adjustments & Polishing
After ensuring comfort and functionality, we made minor adjustments and polished the crown for a seamless finish.
