A dental crown is a cap that goes over the top of a tooth and is custom-made to match the natural tooth’s color and shape. An implant-supported crown can be utilized when a natural tooth can no longer support a dental crown due to significant deterioration or decay. The natural tooth must be pulled before an implant-supported crown may be placed. After that, an implant screw is inserted into the jawbone, and an abutment, or attachment piece, is affixed. The abutment will protrude from the gum line and will be sutured in place. A temporary dental crown is usually attached to the abutment immediately after the implant insertion surgery. A permanent dental crown will be manufactured and inserted once the implant site has healed and the bone has bonded with the implant. Dental crowns are frequently used to replace a single missing tooth or a group of missing teeth that are not contiguous.

A dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns with a prosthetic tooth or teeth between them, whereas a dental crown is a single cap that fits over a broken or diseased tooth. Dental bridges can repair adjacent teeth that are decaying, broken, or missing all at once due to their unique structure. They’re called an implant-supported bridges when they’re utilized in conjunction with dental implants. When natural teeth are insufficient to support a dental prosthesis, implant-supported bridges are employed. Instead, dental implants are used to support dental crowns and false teeth in implant-supported bridges. A dental bridge is comparable to a dental crown in that it is attached to two dental implants.

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth and gums that are used to replace a full arch of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. They are utilized when a substantial number of natural teeth are missing or are badly damaged or decayed. Dentures can be used as a detachable dental prosthesis, however fixed dentures rely on dental implants for long-term stability. Implant-supported dentures, also known as fixed dentures, are held in place by four dental implants in each arch. As a result, they are also known as All-on-four implants. The installation of at least four dental implants, as well as the extraction of any remaining decayed or broken teeth, is required for the placement of an implant-supported denture.
