NYC Implant Crowns & Bridges

The Benefits of Dental Implant Crowns

Leonard Linkow performed the first dental implant on a human in 1965. We have certainly learned a great deal since that time. Dr. Linkow replaced one tooth, and now we can reconstruct your smile entirely by using multiple implants as well as implant bridges or dentures. Our patients know we provide natural-looking dental fillings that replace damaged teeth to help your mouth look and function better.

What Is a Dental Implant Crown or Implant-Supported Bridge?

Implant crowns and implant bridges are supported by implants inserted into your mouth to replace missing teeth. The implant looks like a screw. We insert it into your jaw for deep support. A dental crown covers the implant.

Patients who need several teeth replaced may be candidates for implant-supported bridges. Depending on its length, the bridge can support three to 12 teeth.

When the patient lacks teeth, full-mouth reconstruction may be necessary. We can restore the teeth using implant-supported dentures. Our implant crowns in NYC look entirely natural, so no one will suspect that the teeth are not the ones the patient was born with.

Parts of Implant-Supported Restorations

Implant-supported restorations have three main parts:

• Dental Implant: The screw that supports the restoration, which may be a crown or bridge.
• Implant Abutment Crown: The middle of the implant, which connects the screw and the implant crown or fixed implant bridge.
• Restoration: Either the crown or part of the bridge that finishes the implant and looks like a tooth.

Dental Implant Crown Types

209 NYC Dental offers two types of implant crowns in NYC. Both offer advantages to patients.

Screw-Retained Implant Crowns

The first type is a screw-retained implant crown. The screw fastens the dental implant abutment to the implant crown, which has a tiny opening. The dentist closes the opening using a matching bonding material.

The most significant benefit of a screw-retained implant crown or bridge is that if an implant abutment crown becomes loose, the dentist can retrieve the crown or bridge without causing any damage. In cases where many teeth must be replaced, dentists recommend using screw-retained implant bridges.

Cement-Retained Implant Crowns

The parts for cement-retained implant crowns are identical to those for screw-retained implant crowns. However, cement is used to secure the cement-retained implant crowns onto the abutment. This type of crown does not have an opening, so dentists may have difficulty removing it if it becomes loose and may need to make a hole in it.

Dentists do not recommend cement-retained implant crowns when a patient needs a large dental bridge.

Bridge vs. Implant Bridge or Implant Crown in NYC

You have several prosthetic options, which all have pros and cons. Our goal at 209 NYC Dental is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums while preserving as much of them as possible. Dentists who use dental implant crowns or implant bridges can accomplish this aim. You even secure bone levels by opting to get an implant.

When Is It Appropriate to Place a Traditional Bridge vs. an Implant Bridge?

You may encounter two main scenarios when the dentist recommends replacing your missing teeth with a dental bridge vs. an implant bridge or dental implant crown:

• Replacing an old bridge: It is cost-effective to replace an old traditional bridge with a new one. However, your dentist may recommend a different treatment if the bone has been compromised.
• Decaying teeth adjacent to the missing tooth: When the teeth surrounding the missing tooth are compromised enough to necessitate a crown, your dentist may recommend replacing them with a traditional dental bridge instead of an implant bridge or crown.

How Much Do Dental Implant Bridges and Implant Crowns Cost in NYC?

Dental implant restorations include a fee for each part of our work, including the implant, implant restoration, and abutment. Many variables inform the final price, including:

• Bone health.
• Number of implants received.
• Number of implant crowns required.

We support each patient’s right to select their solution based on the restoration’s comfort, aesthetics, and price. The cost of implant abutment crowns, bridges, and dentures varies. You should also consider how long each type of treatment will last. Implants display impressive longevity, balancing out the higher cost.

We offer flexible payment options, including generous payment plans. Our Patient Information page includes more details.
