How an implant-supported crown replaces a missing tooth

Understand the difference between a crown on a natural tooth and a crown supported by an implant.

The implant supports the crown

The implant is placed in the jaw, while the crown is the visible replacement tooth above it. A traditional crown covers an existing tooth that is too damaged for a filling. At Freedom, our crown services focus on implant-supported restorations for missing teeth.

Appearance and function are planned together

The crown’s shade and shape should complement the nearby teeth, but the bite matters just as much. Dr. Ackerman assesses the space, gum contours, supporting bone, and chewing forces. We use mini or conventional-sized one-piece implants when appropriate for the location.

Cost and continuing care

Our listed single tooth implant and crown fee is $2,500. Your written plan identifies additional treatment if required.

After getting your implant and crown, maintenance is very straightforward. Brush and clean around the implant daily, continue caring for your natural teeth with your general dentist, and contact us if the crown feels loose or your bite changes.
