Implant Supported Crowns & Prosthesis at Dental Theory
At Dental Theory, we understand the importance of a complete, functional smile. That’s why our Brandon, FL office offers implant-supported crowns and prostheses to replace missing teeth and restore oral health and confidence.
What Are Implant Supported Crowns & Prosthesis?
Implant-supported crowns and prostheses are a modern, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. This treatment involves placing a dental implant, a small titanium post, into the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a custom-made crown or prosthesis is attached to the implant, providing a stable, natural-looking replacement for the missing tooth or teeth.
Benefits of Implant Supported Crowns & Prosthesis
Implant supported crowns and prosthesis offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, such as bridges or dentures:
- Natural appearance: Implant supported restorations look and feel like your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
- Improved function: Implants provide a stable foundation for crowns and prosthesis, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Preserves jawbone: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur after tooth loss.
- Long-lasting: With proper care, implant supported crowns and prosthesis can last for many years or even a lifetime.
- Versatility: Implants can support single crowns, multi-tooth bridges, or even full-arch prosthesis, making them a flexible solution for various tooth replacement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Supported Crowns
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the implant process. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and any post-operative discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Caring for your implant supported restoration is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and attend routine dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the long-term success of your implant treatment.
