Dental Implant Crowns in NYC – Everything You Need To Know

In the United States an estimated 120 million people are missing at least one tooth and another 36 million are missing all their teeth, according to The American College of Prosthodontists. Missing teeth can impact your confidence, ability to chew, and long-term oral health. But thanks to modern dentistry, there’s a permanent, natural-looking solution available today—dental implants.

At Sachar Dental NYC, we specialize in top-tier dental implant restorations that look, feel, and function just like your own teeth. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, or several teeth, dental implants and implant crowns can offer an aesthetic and durable solution.

What Is a Dental Implant Crown?

A dental implant crown is a custom-made prosthetic tooth that is securely attached to a dental implant, which is surgically placed into the jawbone. Unlike traditional crowns that cover a damaged natural tooth, implant crowns cover an implant.

Do Dental Implant Crowns Look & Feel Like Natural Teeth?

Yes, dental implant crowns can look and feel just like natural teeth. These crowns are made from durable materials that are esthetic and replicate natural teeth in shape, size and color. The color can be matched to the adjacent natural teeth to blend in seamlessly. These crowns are attached strongly to an abutment and underlying dental implant. Once completed, these are designed to function just like your natural teeth, to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Dental implant crowns do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a healthier and more stable option than bridges.

Is an Implant Crown Included in a Dental Implant?

The simple answer is No. A dental implant restoration consists of three parts:

  1. The Dental Implant Itself – A titanium or ceramic screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Over time, this is strongly held within the bone through a process called osseointegration. This process generally takes about 3 months.
  2. Abutment – A small connector that is screwed into the implant after 3 months so that a " fake tooth" or implant crown can go over it.
  3. Implant Crown – A custom-made prosthetic tooth that mimics the look and function of a natural tooth and gets permanently screwed over the abutment.
The durability, functionality, and aesthetic success of the complete dental implant restoration is largely dependent on the skill and expertise of the dentist.

Is Placing a Crown on a Dental Implant Painful?

No. Placing a crown on a dental implant is not painful. Dental implants do not have nerves. You can expect mild soreness in the surrounding gums after the procedure, and that subsides within a few days.

Once the dental implant has fully healed and integrated with the jawbone, the abutment is attached to the implant and the crown is placed over the abutment.

Are Dental Implant Crowns Screwed In?

There are two primary methods used for the crown placement over a dental implant:

  • Screw-Retained Crowns – Secured with a small screw, allowing for easy removal if adjustments or repairs are needed in the future.
  • Cement-Retained Crowns – Permanently cemented onto the abutment for a seamless appearance.
The choice between these methods depends on your specific case and the recommendation of your dental provider. The goal is always to achieve a secure, natural-looking result that lasts for decades.

How Long Should a Dental Implant Last?

How long a dental implant lasts will depend on the skill and expertise of the dentist performing the procedure. If completed by a skilled dentist or dental specialist, a dental implant and crown can last well over 20 years. However, proper oral hygiene, care and maintenance with regular dental check-ups and cleanings is required.

Why Choose an Implant Crown Over Other Options?

  • Durability – With proper care, dental implants can last decades, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
  • Natural Look & Feel – Crafted from high-quality porcelain or zirconia, implant crowns blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Preserves Jawbone & Facial Structure – Since the dental implant is anchored within bone, it stimulates bone growth and prevents the bone loss that occurs after losing a tooth.
  • No Damage to Adjacent Teeth – Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require the drilling and filing down of the adjacent teeth.
  • Restores Full Chewing Power – Unlike dentures, dental implants allow you to eat your favorite foods without restriction and do not require adhesives.
  • Low Maintenance – Just like natural teeth, dental implants require regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups.

The Dental Implant Process: Step-by-Step

Getting an implant requires a few stages to ensure a strong, long-lasting result:

  1. Initial Consultation – Comprehensive evaluation, X-rays, and digital scans to determine if you’re a good candidate for a dental implant.
  2. Implant Placement – The implant is placed into the jawbone in a precise, minimally invasive procedure.
  3. Healing Period – Over the next 3-4 months, the implant integrates with the jawbone.
  4. Abutment Placement – Once healed, the abutment is attached into the dental implant.
  5. Custom Crown Placement – A tailor-made implant crown is then securely placed over the abutment, completing your new smile.
  6. Follow-Up Care – Routine checkups ensure your implant and crown stay in top condition.
