Implant Crown in Sainte-Julie
A Permanent, Natural Solution
Regain a complete, functional smile with the dental implant crown. A lasting solution that replaces your missing tooth as if it were your own.
What is an implant crown?
The implant crown is the most advanced solution for replacing a missing tooth. This technique uses a dental implant as an artificial root, onto which a custom dental crown is attached. The result? A replacement tooth that has the appearance, feel, and function of a natural tooth.
Why choose an implant crown in Sainte-Julie?
- A permanent, durable solution (15-20 years or more)
- Unmatched comfort and aesthetics
- Preserves your jawbone
- Does not affect the adjacent teeth (unlike bridges)
The Benefits
Why is the implant crown superior?
1. Unmatched stability Unlike a fixed dental bridge, the implant crown has its own artificial root integrated into the bone. You can eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
2. Protection of your oral health The implant stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that normally occurs after a tooth is lost. Your adjacent teeth remain intact, with no preparation required.
3. Natural aesthetics Our implant crowns are custom-made to blend perfectly with your natural teeth in terms of shape, colour, and translucency.
4. A long-term investment With proper care, an implant crown can last a lifetime, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
The Process
How is an implant crown placed?
Step 1: Consultation and planning (1 appointment) Our denturist assesses your situation, takes 3D X-rays, and develops a personalized treatment plan. We check the quality and quantity of your bone to ensure the success of the implant.
Step 2: Placement of the dental implant The biocompatible titanium implant is surgically inserted into your jawbone. A healing period of 3 to 6 months allows the implant to fuse firmly with the bone (osseointegration).
Step 3: Placement of the implant abutment Once the implant is well integrated, an abutment is attached to the implant to support the crown.
Step 4: Fabrication and placement of the crown We take precise impressions to create your custom crown. The final crown is then screwed or bonded onto the implant abutment.
The result: A complete, strong, and beautiful tooth!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
The implant is placed under local anesthesia. Most patients report less discomfort than after a tooth extraction. Painkillers are prescribed to manage any post-operative discomfort.
How long does an implant crown last?
With rigorous oral hygiene and regular visits to the denturist, an implant crown can last 15 to 20 years, or even a lifetime.
What is the difference between an implant crown and a dental bridge?
A dental bridge requires filing down the adjacent teeth to serve as support, whereas the implant crown is independent and preserves your natural teeth. The implant also stimulates the bone, unlike a bridge.
Can my implant crown come unscrewed?
Although rare, a crown can come unscrewed if it is screw-retained (rather than bonded). If this happens, contact your denturist immediately to have it reattached.
Are implant crowns covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans partially cover implants and crowns. We help you maximize your reimbursements.
