The crown on the implant

The same crown, a different abutment – and a few important differences.

On an implant sits first an abutment and on that the crown. It is screwed or cemented. Screwed has the advantage that it can be removed again without destroying it.

What is different from your own tooth

Your own tooth hangs resiliently in the bone; an implant is rigidly fused with it. That is why the bite on an implant crown is adjusted more carefully. And: an implant feels no pain. An inflammation at the implant does not announce itself – it only shows at the check-up.

Costs

The insurer pays the fixed allowance for the finding „missing tooth“ – that is, as much as a bridge would have received. The rest is private. For the surgical side and the total costs see Implantat-Berater.
