The Two Parts of a Dental Implant
A dental implant has two parts: the implant fixture — a titanium post surgically placed in the jaw that integrates with bone over 3–6 months to become a permanent anchor — and the prosthetic restoration, the custom crown, bridge, or prosthesis placed on top that you see and use every day. That restoration is implant prosthodontics.
The restoration defines your experience with the implant. A technically perfect implant paired with a poorly designed crown still looks and functions poorly, while a precisely designed, shade-matched, properly contoured implant crown is indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Is Implant Prosthodontics right for you? Signs, symptoms & candidacy.
Implant restoration types
- Single implant crown — the most common restoration
- Implant-supported bridge — replaces 2–4 adjacent teeth
- Implant-retained overdenture — snaps onto implant attachments
- Full-arch fixed prosthesis — replaces an entire arch on 4–6 implants
Crown material options
- Zirconia: strongest and stain-resistant, ideal for back teeth under heavy forces
- Porcelain-fused-to-zirconia: high aesthetics with strength, front or back
- All-porcelain: maximum translucency for front teeth where appearance is paramount
- Your dentist selects the material for each implant site
The Restoration Process
Once the implant has integrated, the custom restoration is designed, matched, and placed.
Confirm Integration
About 3–6 months after surgery, the implant's stability and bone level are confirmed.
Impression or Scan
An implant-level impression or digital scan captures the exact position and gum contour.
Abutment Selection
A custom or stock abutment is chosen for an ideal emergence profile.
Crown Fabrication
The lab fabricates the crown in your chosen material, shade-matched to your natural teeth.
Try-In & Placement
Fit, shade, and bite are checked, then the crown is cemented or screw-retained.
