it can go cover screw, healing abutment or temporary tooth...depends.
An abutment and crown.
A Pontic and a crown.
Once bone is healed, an abutment and crown go on top and looks and functions like a natural tooth.
An “abutement" is the part the screws into the implant (which is below the gums) and extends above the gums, then a crown is either cemented or screwed into the abutment. All three parts constitute the implant complex.
If you presently have a dental implant, an abutment would be screwed into the threaded internal part of the implant fixture. Either custom shaped or from stock, this titanium “post” should allow enough space for a properly sized crown to be constructed.

Hi,
After an implant you have to wait 3-4 months for the permanent crown that will be either screwed in or cemented on. But if you had an extraction and an implant placed the same day, then you would have to wait a little bit longer, 5-6 months for the permanent crown. But to summarize it, you will get a crown “tooth” in the missing place.

Most of the time a part called an abutment is first connected to the implant with a screw and then a crown is cemented over that abutment part. The other way of restoring the implant is for the crown to screw directly into the implant without an abutment first. The decision as to which is best is a decision the dentist makes.
Hello!
Once the healing or integration of an implant has completed, usually between 3-6 month, the next stage is the restoration. This is referred to as the crown, if it is a single implant. If multiple implants are to be restored, in lieu of crowns it could be a bridge or denture that will be on top of the implants.
I hope this helps.

There are 2 components that fit onto the implant body (screw) once it is integrated into the jawbone. The first is a riser/platform that fits into the implant known as the abutment and the second is the crown or tooth that fits onto the abutment.
Hi,
An implant crown.

An implant crown.

Many things can go on top of an implant. When a single tooth is being replaced, a specialized cap (or crown, they are the same thing) is placed. But implants can also be used to hold dentures (false teeth) in place. Watch this:

Hello 26-year-old male,
A dental implant can be used for replacement of a missing tooth, replacement of multiple teeth, or for stabilization of a denture. What "goes on top" of the implant is dependent on how the implant is being used. A dental implant is most commonly used to replace a missing tooth, and in that case will have a tooth form constructed (crown) that is custom made for the patient and attaches to the dental implant. Most Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons have websites. Visit one or more sites; I think you will find helpful information.

A dental implant simulates a root of a real tooth. Once your body has accepted the implant, return back to your general dentist and we will place a cap/crown over it to mimic your natural tooth.
