Patients come in for implant crowns at City of Angels Dentistry in two situations: their implant was placed here and it's time for the crown, or they had an implant placed elsewhere and need a dentist to complete the restoration. Dr. Kevin Chin has been placing implant crowns in Downtown Los Angeles since 2018, and in both cases the process is straightforward — confirm integration, take an impression, and place a custom crown that matches the surrounding teeth.
Dr. Chin confirms the implant post is fully integrated and the surrounding tissues are healthy. An X-ray verifies integration before crown fabrication begins.
An impression of the implant and adjacent teeth is taken. Your custom porcelain crown is fabricated in a dental lab matched to the color and shape of your surrounding teeth.
The crown is attached to the implant at a second appointment. Dr. Chin verifies the fit, bite, and aesthetics before final placement. The restoration is complete.

At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, Dr. Kevin Chin fabricates and places custom porcelain implant crowns for patients completing new implant restorations and for patients with existing implants who need a crown placed or replaced.

A well-placed porcelain implant crown typically lasts 10–20 years or longer with proper care. The implant post itself can last a lifetime. Crown longevity depends on bite forces, oral hygiene, and avoiding trauma.

Crown placement typically requires no anesthesia. The implant and surrounding tissue are not disturbed during crown placement. Most patients experience no discomfort.
