Need implant crowns or implant restoration ?
The natural looking implant teeth would bite correctly, feel comfortable and last for years when cared properly.
A dental implant is considered complete when the final tooth is placed on the top. This final tooth is known as an implant crown also implant restoration. This is the part you use to chew and the part you see when you smile. White Swan Dental Clinic designs implant crowns that sit comfortable on the gums, look natural and match your bite. So they don’t feel strange or bulky.
As we are in the Business Bay, Dubai, many patients come from across the GCC like visitors from Oman, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE residents. Many travel often and want the implant tooth finished on time with a clear plan. So we explain timelines, keep appointments organised and deliver results that are premium yet still feels you.
What Is an Implant Crown – Implant Restoration
The custom made tooth or an implant crown can attach to your dental implant. This replaced the visible part of the missing tooth. A complete implant restoration usually includes:
- Implant fixture (the “root” in the bone)
- Abutment (connector between implant and crown)
- Crown – the visible tooth
In short: implant = foundation. Crown = the tooth you use every day.
When You Need an Implant Crown
An implant crown placement is required when:
- The implant healing period gets complete. Then it is time for the final tooth
- The old implant crown is chipped, loose or worn
- There is a gum recession around an implant. This requires a better fitting crown
- The implant crown looks darker. Or when it don’t match the natural teeth
- Food gets stuck around the implant
- You feel pain or bite pressure when chewing on the implant tooth
Small issues matter as a poor bite will irritate the implant area and damage the crown
Types of Implant Crowns – Material Options
We use material based on your smile zone, bite force and aesthetic goals.
1) Zirconia Implant Crowns
Best for: high strength and natural look
Why it is popular: stain resistant, strong, great for molars and front teeth
2) Porcelain Fused-to-Metal Implant Crown
Best for: strong chewing areas and budget friendly options
Keep in mind: metal edge shows when gums recede over time
3) E.max Implant Crown
Best for: front teeth aesthetics
Why people like it: natural translucency and looks like real enamel
We recommend what suits best for your mouth. Not only what may look fancy.
Screw-Retained vs Cement-Retained Implant Crowns
Patients often search this because it affects maintenance.
| Type | How It’s Fixed | Advantages | Considerations |
| Screw-retained crown | Crown screws onto implant/abutment | Easier to remove for repairs/cleaning | Screw access hole is sealed neatly |
| Cement-retained crown | Crown is cemented like a cap | Looks seamless | Excess cement must be controlled carefully |
Many modern implant cases prefer screw-retained crowns for easier long-term servicing—when possible.

How Long Does an Implant Crown Take to Make?
In most cases:

- Crown design + lab work: 5–10 working days (varies)
- Final fitting: 1 visit
So typically, the crown process takes 1–2 weeks, unless additional gum or bite work is needed.
Step by Step – Implant Crown Placement Process
Our process is smooth and predictable.
1) Implant Stability Checks
We confirm whether the gums are healthy. Also if the implant is integrated properly.
2) Digital Scan or Impression
This captures your bite, gum line, and neighbouring teeth accurately.
3) Shade Matching and Design
The shape and colour is matched like your natural teeth. This is essential for front teeth.
4) Trial Fit – If Needed
We check gum fit, look and bite contact.
5) Final Crown Fixing
Secure the crown with cemented or screw-retained. Then do final bite adjustment.
How Do We Make Implant Crowns Look Natural?
A natural-looking implant crown needs more than “white colour.” We focus on:
- Proper tooth shape and size
- Correct bite contact (not too high)
- Gum line symmetry
- Natural shade with slight character (not fake bright)
- Clean contact points to stop food trapping
Small details make a big difference, honestly.
Common Problems We Fix in Implant Restorations
Loose Implant Crown
Usually due to screw loosening or bite forces. We adjust the bite, tighten it again and secure it properly.
Food Stuck Around Implant
Often caused by poor contact points or gum changes. We redesign or adjust the crown shape.
Chipped Crown
Minor chips may be repaired; major fractures need crown replacement.
Implant Crown Feels “High”
Bite needs adjustment. A high crown can overload the implant, so this should be fixed early.
Caring for Your Implant Crown (Daily Tips)
Implant crowns can’t get cavities, but the gums around implants can get infected. So care is essential.
- Brush twice daily
- Use interdental brushes around the implant. Or floss
- Water flosser helps a lot
- Avoid chewing hard items or ice
- Wear a night guard when you grind the teeth
- Do regular check ups and professional cleaning
Good care = longer implant life. Simple.
