Can a crown take the place of a dental implant if you relose a tooth?
U cant re lose a tooth lol once its gone its gone, a crown sits on top of the tooth to protect it an implant is to replace a missing tooth
Reply:a crown you need a tooth to place it on top of, a dental implant is there to replace your whole tooth.
Reply:Not sure what your trying to ask. A crown is a cap that is cemented to your existing tooth. Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth. After implants are placed and they heal a crown is attatched to the implant.
Reply:If a tooth is missing, an implant can be placed into the bone, and then a crown (cap) goes on top of it.





If the tooth still exists, but is badly broken/decayed, etc.. and crown can be placed on the tooth gets filed down to a 'stump'...





An implant can take the place of a tooth that was once present, but a crown can not take the place of an implant, since you still need some tooth structure to place the crown on..
