The following components make up an implant-restored tooth.

Implant

The titanium stud, post, or implant is positioned directly into the socket of your lost tooth on either the upper or lower jawbone. In a way, the metal anchor serves as the replacement tooth root for your rebuilt tooth.

Crown artificial teeth or dentures feel more natural when worn thanks to this titanium implant. This contrasts with dentures that are easily dislodged or bridges that need the destruction of good neighboring teeth.

Abutment

This can be composed of titanium, zirconia, gold, surgical stainless steel, or porcelain. It is a filler or adapter that joins the crown to the implant and is fastened into place. As a supporting contact, the substructure or connecting part gives the crown additional support.

This is the primary adapter for your implant configuration that improves the connection between the implant and the crown. Compared to just slamming the crown into the implant, the abutment makes it more difficult for the crown to come away or shatter under biting pressure.

Crown

The portion of the restored tooth that resembles a natural tooth in shape and appearance is called the crown. It functions as the cap you place over your implant so that it can act as your replacement tooth. It is genuinely replaceable in the event that it cracks and is designed to be durable.

Usually, porcelain is fused with PFM, a metal alloy, to create the crown, giving you a denture that is maybe more durable than your typical tooth. This crown is fastened to the abutment with screws or cement. If screwed, a restorative substance (composite) used to fill voids is placed over the screw hole.
