More About Implant Crowns in Boca Raton, FL
When you look in the mirror, you see the crown, not the implant hidden beneath your gums. That visible piece determines whether a replacement tooth blends in with your smile or stands out, so crown design deserves as much care as the surgery that comes before it.
At Boca Dental Wellness, Dr. Joshua Gold, a prosthodontist and general dentist, designs implant crowns with both function and appearance in mind. Our dental implant services in Boca Raton cover the full process, from planning to the final fitting, so your new tooth feels as natural as it looks.
What Is an Implant Crown and How Does It Work?
An implant crown is the tooth-shaped cap that completes a dental implant. A full restoration has three parts, including:
- A post in the jawbone that acts as the root
- An abutment that links the post to the crown
- The crown you see, chew with, and smile with
Unlike a traditional dental crown, which fits over a natural tooth, an implant crown attaches to a post placed in the bone. That means your neighboring teeth stay untouched, and the crown can be designed to match their color, shape, and size.
Who Can Benefit From an Implant Crown?
Implant crowns are used in a variety of situations, and Dr. Gold reviews your health and bone support before recommending one. You may be a good candidate if you have any of the following:
- Single missing tooth: An implant crown can replace one tooth lost to decay, injury, or infection with a restoration that stands on its own.
- Planned extraction: If a tooth needs to come out, we can map out a replacement plan that may begin with a tooth extraction.
- Healthy neighboring teeth: An implant crown lets you replace a missing tooth without reshaping the teeth beside it, which a traditional dental bridge often requires.
- Several missing teeth: Multiple implants can support a row of crowns or a bridge when you need to replace more than one tooth.
If most of your teeth are missing, we may suggest a broader full mouth reconstruction plan instead. Either way, you receive a clear explanation of your options before any treatment begins.
How We Create Your Implant Crown
Each crown is built in stages, and every stage calls for precision.
Healing and Readiness
After your implant is placed, the bone needs time to bond with it. This stage varies for every patient, and we don’t rush it. If your plan includes an advanced surgical step, such as a sinus lift, we work with trusted oral surgeons and keep your care organized from start to finish.
Designing Your Abutment and Crown
We use digital tools, including 3D scanners and intraoral scanners, to capture the details of your mouth. From there, we design a custom abutment shaped to your gum line and a crown that matches your natural teeth.
Final Fit and Bite Check
Before we finish, we check how your new crown meets the teeth above or below it, then fine-tune the shape, color, and comfort. Dr. Gold’s trained eye for aesthetics helps the crown look natural from every angle, and we want you to feel confident in the result before you leave. If anything feels off, tell us, and we can fine-tune the details together.
Caring for Your Implant Crown
Daily brushing and flossing keep the gums around your implant healthy, and regular visits let us monitor your restoration. We are happy to show you the best tools and techniques for cleaning around your implant crown, so you feel confident caring for it at home. A 2025 research paper notes that a meta-analysis found implant-supported single crowns survived at rates of 93 percent after five years and 94.4 percent after ten, though individual results vary.
The same paper lists a loose abutment screw among the most common technical issues, which is why routine check-ups matter. If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard may help protect your crown.
Why Choose Our Boca Raton Implant Crown Team?
Dr. Joshua Gold built his prosthodontic training around dental esthetics, implants, and full mouth reconstruction, the skills behind a crown that looks natural and functions well. He also practices as a general dentist, so he can care for your routine dental needs alongside your implant treatment. He earned his education through accredited advanced programs and works closely with dental laboratories and oral surgeons to hold each case to a high standard.
Comfort matters to us as much as precision. Our team speaks Spanish, and when you want extra help relaxing, we can discuss options such as nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.
Insurance and Payment Options
Coverage for implant crowns varies by plan, so check your benefits before treatment. Our insurance and payment information outlines what we accept, and our team is happy to answer your questions. For added flexibility, we accept CareCredit and Cherry financing, which can help break treatment costs into smaller payments.

Common Questions
- A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area where the implant will be placed. To add to your comfort, you may also choose nitrous oxide or IV sedation.
- Once you are comfortable, the surgeon will use special instruments to insert a titanium implant into the jaw bone.
- Healing time depends on the quality and quantity of bone mass, as well as gum health. Once the bone and gum tissue have healed, you will receive your permanent crown.
When you are missing a tooth, the jaw bone that once held the tooth roots in place may thin. In this case, you may require a bone graft prior to implant placement. Bone grafting reinforces the jaw structure, eventually preparing it to hold and stabilize the implant.
The longer the cavity that was once occupied by the roots of your tooth goes unfilled, the greater the chances the bone structure will weaken. For this reason, we recommend seeking dental implant treatment sooner rather than later.
