Implant Crowns
WHAT IS IMPLANT CROWNS?
The implant provides the foundation. The crown is what the world sees, and it should be perfect.
An implant crown is the visible, custom-crafted tooth that attaches to a dental implant above the gum line. While the implant fixture provides structural stability, the crown is where aesthetics and function converge. At LUMI Dental in Boca Raton, every implant crown is designed with meticulous attention to color, shape, proportion, and occlusal fit, so the final restoration integrates naturally and invisibly with the surrounding smile.
We use high-quality zirconia and ceramic materials that closely mimic the optical properties of natural enamel. Each crown is fabricated from precise digital impressions or scans taken of the implant site and the surrounding dentition. We review the crown with our dental ceramists and inspect every restoration upon delivery before it is placed in a patient’s mouth. If the shade, fit, or contour does not meet our standard, it goes back. We do not place restorations we are not proud of.
BENEFITS OF IMPLANT CROWNS
- Fabricated from premium zirconia or ceramic for exceptional strength and natural-looking aesthetics.
- Shade-matched precisely to the surrounding teeth including translucency, texture, and color depth.
- Permanently fixed, no removal, no movement, no adhesives required.
- Biocompatible with the gum tissue at the implant margin for long-term tissue health.
- Virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth when correctly designed and placed.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING A IMPLANT CROWNS TREATMENT?
Once your implant has fully integrated with the bone, we take digital impressions of the implant site and the surrounding teeth. Your custom crown is fabricated in a dental lab over approximately two to three weeks, then delivered at a fitting appointment. We verify fit on the abutment, assess the bite relationship, evaluate shade match in natural light, and make any refinements before final cementation. A brief follow up confirms your long term comfort and bite accuracy after initial wear.
OUR APPROACH TO IMPLANT CROWNS
At LUMI Dental, an implant crown is never just a cap on a post. It is a restoration designed to complete your smile in a way that is natural, comfortable, and lasting. We pay attention to the emergence profile, how the crown meets the gum tissue, because this detail affects both the health of the tissue and the aesthetics of the result. We select materials for the specific demands of each case and hold every crown to the same standard before it ever reaches a patient’s mouth.
Your smile deserves attention today, not tomorrow.

How long does it take to receive my implant crown?
From the impression appointment to delivery, the crown fabrication process typically takes two to three weeks. You return for a fitting and delivery appointment once it is ready from the lab.
What material is used for implant crowns?
We primarily use zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics. The choice depends on the location of the implant, aesthetic requirements, and bite forces. We discuss material options during treatment planning.
Can an implant crown be replaced if damaged?
Yes. If a crown chips or becomes worn over time, it can be replaced without disturbing the underlying implant. The fixture remains intact and a new crown is fabricated and reattached.
Will my implant crown match my natural teeth?
Yes. We shade-match every implant crown carefully, considering not just base color but translucency, surface texture, and the staining characteristics of the adjacent dentition.
How do I clean around my implant crown?
Implant crowns are cleaned like natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss once daily at the implant margin, and attend your regular professional cleanings. We review specific care at your delivery appointment.
