Based in Blairstown, New Jersey, Dr. Mark Nelke emphasizes preventative care and performs restorations and oral surgeries. Dr. Mark Nelke’s areas of specialty include prosthetic restoration and implantology.
There are several types of dental prosthesis, including dental crowns, which are caps durably crafted to match the shape and color of the natural tooth. In situations where serious decay or damage has made the natural tooth unable to bear the weight of the crown, an implant-supported crown presents an option.
An implant-supported crown procedure begins with extracting the natural tooth and securing a screw-like implant in the jawbone. Next, the dental professional places an abutment that protrudes from the gum line. After suturing the gums to this attachment piece, the surgeon will install a temporary dental crown. Over the next several months, the implant and jawbone fuse together. At the end of this extended healing process, a dental crown is crafted and attached permanently to the abutment.
