Case Study: Placing a Crown Over a Dental Implant

Dental Implant Case Studies: Real Patient Success Stories

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

  1. Exam & Digital Impressions 
    Using advanced intraoral scanning technology, we took digital impressions of the patient’s mouth to create a precise, perfectly fitting crown.
  2. Selecting the Right Crown 
    The patient chose a high-quality zirconia crown for its durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility.
  3. 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.
  4. Securing the Crown 
    We carefully placed the custom zirconia crown, checking for proper fit, bite alignment, and natural aesthetics.
  5. Final Adjustments & Polishing 

After ensuring comfort and functionality, we made minor adjustments and polished the crown for a seamless finish.

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
