Missing a tooth affects more than your smile. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and how confident you feel in everyday moments. A dental implant crown is one of the most natural-feeling solutions available because it replaces both the tooth and its root—helping restore stability in a way traditional options can’t always match.
At Shoreline Dental Studio, our implant dentistry is designed to be clear, comfortable, and patient-friendly from start to finish.
A dental implant crown has three parts:
The implant anchors in bone, which helps preserve jaw strength and provides secure function for chewing.
Implant crowns are custom-designed to match your smile. Because they’re anchored like natural roots, they feel stable and comfortable.
When a tooth is missing, bone can shrink over time. Implants provide stimulation to the bone, helping maintain structure.
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant crown stands on its own. That means we don’t need to reshape adjacent healthy teeth to support it.
With good healing and a stable bite, implants can handle normal eating confidently—without the “rocking” that some removable solutions may have.
We evaluate your gums, bone levels, and overall oral health. We’ll also review medical history and habits like clenching or smoking that can affect healing.
The implant is placed in the jawbone. Many patients are surprised by how routine this feels. If anxiety is a concern, nitrous oxide sedation may be an option to help you relax.
Over the next few months, the implant bonds with bone. This healing phase is the foundation of long-term success.
Once stable, we place a custom crown that matches your bite and blends with your natural teeth. We check contacts, bite forces, and comfort.
If bone has already thinned, we may discuss strategies to support placement. Even if time has passed, implant dentistry is still possible for many patients. The key is an exam and a personalized plan.

Both are valid solutions. We’ll recommend what fits your health, timeline, and goals.
Implants are easy to maintain, but consistency matters:
While implants don’t get cavities, the gums around them can become inflamed without good hygiene—so professional maintenance is essential.
Many adults are candidates for dental implants. Ideal conditions include healthy gums, adequate bone, and good home care habits. If you have gum disease, we may recommend treatment first so the foundation is healthy.
Replacing a missing tooth isn’t just cosmetic—it protects your bite, supports your jaw, and restores comfort you shouldn’t have to live without.
