Get a Single Implant With a Crown at Our Victoria Dentist’s Office
At Dr. Crapo & Associates in Victoria, we offer single implants with crowns as an excellent solution for replacing individual missing teeth. This advanced dental restoration option provides a permanent, natural-looking replacement that functions just like your original tooth.
What Are Single Implants with Crowns?
Dental implants are artificial teeth that recreate the look and function of natural teeth. They’re made up of a titanium root inserted into your jaw and topped with a zirconia or porcelain crown or cap, which acts as the tooth itself.
A single implant with crown consists of three main components:
Titanium Implant Post: Surgically placed in the jawbone as an artificial tooth root.
Abutment: Connector piece that attaches to the implant.
Custom-Made Zirconia or Porcelain Crown: Matches your natural teeth and restores function.
The implant fuses with your jawbone over several months in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for the crown.
Benefits of Single Implants with Crowns
No Damage to Other Teeth
Their main advantage is that, unlike bridges, single implants don’t require the teeth next to the missing tooth to be trimmed down to hold the replacement tooth. They can be fitted into a space and act like a new tooth, so you can chew food and smile for the camera just as naturally as ever.
Great for Preventing Bone Loss
When a tooth is lost, no root is left to exercise your jaw muscles and keep your jawbone strong, so the bone begins to weaken. Titanium implants have the added health benefit of strengthening the surrounding teeth and limiting bone loss in areas where a tooth was lost.​
Natural Look and Function
The custom-made crown matches your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size, enhancing aesthetics and restoring full functionality to your bite. Made of high-quality zirconia or porcelain, it provides a durable, lifelike appearance.
Long-Lasting Solution
Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement. Regular dental checkups and a good oral hygiene routine are essential for maintaining the health of your implants. Unlike other dental restorations, implants are designed to withstand the test of time and provide a stable foundation for your dental crown.
Improved Oral Health
Single implants are easier to clean than bridges, thus preventing gum disease. Implants also promote bone health, preventing deterioration associated with missing teeth.
