Primeau DentalCARE THAT HELPS YOU SMILE401-737-9363One missing tooth. A carefully planned replacement.
A dental implant and crown can replace a single missing tooth. At Primeau Dental, we assess the space, bone, gums, and surrounding teeth to see whether an implant is a suitable option for you.
The three parts of an implant tooth
The implant is placed in the jaw and acts as support. An abutment connects the implant to the crown. The crown is the visible tooth replacement, designed to fit your smile and bite.
1. Implant
The titanium post placed in your jawbone.
2. Abutment
The connector between the implant and crown.
3. Crown
The visible tooth replacement, shaped for your smile and bite.
Is an implant right for me?
Suitability depends on your oral health, bone, medical history, and ability to maintain the area. We may recommend additional treatment before placement, such as care for gum disease or bone grafting. We also explain other replacement options.
Treatment takes planning and healing
Your plan may include imaging, implant placement, healing, and fabrication of the crown. Timing varies. A temporary tooth may be possible in some situations; immediate placement or a same-day crown is not suitable for every patient.
Keeping the area healthy
An implant restoration needs daily cleaning and regular dental visits. We provide instructions for cleaning around it and monitor the gums, bite, and restoration over time.
Questions you may have
Can the implant be placed when my tooth is removed?
Sometimes, if the area and your treatment plan are suitable. We assess the tooth, bone, and tissues before recommending the timing.
Will it match my other teeth?
We plan the crown’s shape and shade with the surrounding teeth in mind. Your bite and the available space also influence the final design.
What is included in the cost?
Ask for a written treatment estimate covering the implant, abutment, crown, and any additional procedures so you can understand the complete plan.
