If you’ve been searching for a permanent solution to a missing tooth, implant crowns may be exactly what you need. At Vivid Specialized Dentistry in Edmonton, we specialize in custom implant crowns that restore both the appearance and function of your natural teeth. One of our recent patients, came to us looking for a long-term fix for a missing adult tooth, and the results speak for themselves.
Why Did She Need an Implant Crown?
Reagan had been living with a retained baby tooth well into adulthood. Eventually, that tooth became loose and needed to be removed, leaving a noticeable gap in her smile.
Since the adult tooth never came in, a traditional dental crown or bridge wasn’t an option. She needed a permanent tooth replacement that would look natural and support her oral health long-term. That’s when she turned to Vivid Specialized Dentistry for a dental implant crown in Edmonton.
““I was always a little self-conscious about that gap, especially in photos or when I was talking.””
The Process: From Missing Tooth to Full Smile
After her baby tooth was removed, her oral surgeon placed a dental implant to serve as the foundation for her new tooth. Once healing was complete and the implant had integrated with the jawbone, she returned to Vivid Specialized Dentistry for her custom implant crown.
Dr. Sumar designed this patients crown to match the exact shape, size, and shade of her surrounding teeth. We used premium zirconia for its strength and natural translucency, ensuring her final smile looked and felt seamless. The result? A beautiful, durable tooth replacement that blends in perfectly.
"It feels like my real tooth—I honestly forget it’s even an implant."
Life After the Implant Crown
Since receiving her implant crown, Reagan says she’s gained confidence in her smile and no longer thinks twice about eating, speaking, or laughing. “It feels like my real tooth - I honestly forget it’s even an implant,” she told us.
"I can smile fully now without even thinking about it. It’s such a relief."
What is an Implant Crown?
An implant crown is the visible portion of a dental implant restoration, it’s the part that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Unlike traditional crowns, which are placed on existing teeth, implant crowns are supported by a titanium implant post placed in the jawbone. This method provides superior stability, preserves bone density, and avoids affecting the surrounding teeth.
At Vivid Specialized Dentistry, we work with top Edmonton oral surgeons and periodontists to ensure every implant crown is precisely fitted and flawlessly restored. Dr. Sumar, a board-certified prosthodontist in Edmonton, personally designs each crown using premium materials like monolithic zirconia or porcelain-layered zirconia for outstanding durability and lifelike aesthetics.
