An implant crown is the part of a dental implant you actually see and chew with. At our Sonoma, CA office, we focus on implant restorations: the custom abutment and implant crown that sit on top of a healed implant post. The post itself is placed by a trusted surgical partner, and we coordinate with your surgeon so every step fits together.
We work with Unident, an industry-leading lab that specializes in implant crown design using its Zero Bone Loss Concept. That approach focuses on keeping the gum and bone around your implant healthy for the long run. Every crown sits on a custom abutment, and every shade is matched to your own teeth so your new tooth blends right in.
An implant is only as good as the tooth on top of it. A well-fitting crown spreads your bite evenly, keeps food from getting trapped, and helps protect the gum and bone that hold the implant. Care for it like your natural teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings, and if you grind at night, a custom night guard protects your implant crown and natural teeth too.
Missing more than one tooth? Implants can also support a dental bridge or snap-in dentures. Our step-by-step guide to getting an implant crown covers the details.
To us, boutique dental care means you matter: personal, cozy, unhurried, and held to an exceptionally high standard. At Sonoma Springs Dental, Dr. Riley Oliver's boutique dental home in Sonoma, your implant crown gets the same unhurried care as the rest of your smile.

An implant restoration is the part of a dental implant you see and chew with: the custom abutment and the crown on top. The implant post itself is placed by a trusted surgical partner, and once it has healed, we design and place your new tooth. Implants can also support a bridge or a denture when several teeth are missing. Either way, the goal is a tooth that looks and feels natural.
No, we don't do implant surgery. A trusted surgical partner places the implant post, and we coordinate with your surgeon along the way. Once the implant has healed, you come back to us for the custom abutment and crown. You get a skilled surgeon for the post and our careful, unhurried care for the tooth you'll see every day.
Once your implant has healed, we take a quick iTero digital scan (no goopy impressions) so the lab can design your custom abutment and crown. When it's ready, we check the fit, the shade, and your bite, then secure your new tooth in place. There's no surgery at our office, just a calm, comfortable visit. Our post on getting an implant crown walks through it step by step.
We work with Unident, an industry-leading lab that specializes in implant crown design using its 'Zero Bone Loss Concept.' That approach focuses on keeping the gum and bone around your implant healthy for the long run. Each crown sits on a custom abutment shaped for your mouth, not an off-the-shelf part.
Usually not. Since the implant has already healed, placing the crown is typically a simple, comfortable visit. If needed, we'll numb the area first. If you're nervous, just tell us, and we'll go at your pace.
Care for it just like your natural teeth: brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with regular cleanings. Healthy gums around the implant help it last. If you grind or clench at night, a night guard protects both your implant crown and your natural teeth.
Coverage varies from plan to plan, and many plans cover part of the implant crown. We accept all major insurances and will review your estimate with you before we start, so there are no surprises. For any remaining balance, you can pay monthly with Cherry or CareCredit.
