Implant crown in Astana

Restoring the visible part of a tooth on an existing implant.

Key points

The implant is the surgical support; the crown is the visible tooth. The prosthodontist checks the implant system and position, gum contour, contacts with neighbouring teeth and bite load.

When to seek a consultation

  • the implant has healed and is ready for the final crown
  • an old implant crown is loose, damaged or aesthetically unsatisfactory
  • the implant was placed elsewhere and system records are available
  • the crown material, retention method and maintenance need to be selected

What the clinician checks

  • clinical examination and clarification of symptoms
  • implant stability, tissues, component compatibility and bite
  • X-ray or 3D imaging when clinically indicated
  • comparison of treatment options, timing and limitations

Typical treatment stages

  • consultation and initial diagnostics
  • selection of abutment, retention and material
  • scan or impression, trial and fitting of the crown
  • follow-up, home care and the next-visit plan

Aftercare and follow-up

Follow-up depends on the surgical and restorative stages, healing and the planned restoration.

  • keep the written instructions and the plan for your next visit
  • use only products and medicines recommended for your situation
  • ask which sensations are expected after your specific procedure
  • contact the clinic if your condition unexpectedly worsens
