Introduction to Implant Crowns
Implant crowns represent the pinnacle of restorative and cosmetic dentistry, offering a solution that not only looks but also feels and functions like natural teeth. At Brush and Restore, we specialize in providing implant crowns that are indistinguishable from your natural teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile.
The Significance of Implant Crowns
Implant crowns are the final step in the dental implant process, serving as the visible part of the tooth. They are crucial for restoring full dental functionality, allowing you to chew and speak as you would with natural teeth.
Beyond functionality, these crowns are meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a natural and harmonious appearance.
Customization: The Key to Natural-Looking Implant Crowns
The process of creating an implant crown is highly personalized. We take into account various factors such as the color of your adjacent teeth, the shape of your natural teeth, and your overall facial structure.
This attention to detail ensures that your implant crown not only fits perfectly but also enhances your overall smile.
The Implant Crown Procedure
- Assessment and Planning: We begin with a thorough assessment of your oral health and the specific requirements of your implant crown.
- Implant Integration: Before the crown is placed, the implant post must integrate fully with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration.
- Custom Crown Creation: Once the implant is stable, we take impressions of your mouth to create a crown that fits perfectly over the implant.
- Crown Placement: The final step involves securely attaching the custom crown to the implant post, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.
Ensuring the Longevity of Your Implant Crown
Caring for an implant crown involves the same diligence as caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are essential, as is maintaining regular dental check-ups. While implant crowns are highly durable, taking care to avoid overly hard foods can help prolong their lifespan.
Loose Teeth
If your teeth begin feeling a little loose, don’t worry; this is normal! Your braces must first loosen your teeth to move them into the right position. Once your teeth have been repositioned, they will no longer be loose.
Playing Sports
with Braces
Game, Set, Match — we have great news for athletes! You can still play sports even while undergoing orthodontic treatment! If you do play sports, it’s recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your appliance. Let your doctor know if you need help finding the right mouthguard for the best protection.
In case of a sports emergency, be sure to immediately check your mouth and appliance for damage. If you notice any loose teeth or appliance damage, please contact our office right away. You can temporarily relieve the discomfort by applying wax or rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater.
Take Care Of Your Appliances
Damaged appliances can increase the length of your treatment process, so be sure to take care of all your appliances. Your teeth and jaw can only move into their correct positions if you consistently wear the rubber bands, headgear, retainer, or other appliances prescribed by your doctor.
Loose Wires And Bands
The wires and bands on your braces may come loose. If this happens, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can check and repair your appliance. If any piece of your appliance comes off, be sure to save it and bring it to the office with you.
You can temporarily fix the loose wire by using the back of a spoon or the eraser end of a pencil to carefully and gently push the wire back into place. If the loose wire is causing irritation to your lips or cheeks, put wax or a wet cotton ball over the broken wire to relieve the pain.
