When it comes to repairing or replacing a tooth, you’re faced with a choice: Dental implant vs crown. One is a quick fix with a little polish. The other? A long-term investment in your presence, your confidence, your power.

Let’s break it down—the Dr. Patty way.

💋 What’s a Dental Crown?

Think of a crown as a designer jacket over a damaged tooth. It fits, it covers, it adds glam—but only if the root underneath is still strong.

Crowns are ideal when:

  • The tooth is cracked but salvageable

  • You’ve had a root canal and need to protect the tooth

  • There’s decay, but the foundation is intact

Crowns are fast, functional, and fabulous—for the right situation. But let’s not confuse a bandage with a breakthrough.

What’s a Dental Implant?

Now this is where we level up.

A dental implant replaces the entire tooth—root and all—with a titanium post topped by a custom-crafted porcelain crown. It looks real, feels real, and lasts decades.

It’s not a cover-up. It’s a complete reinvention.

Implants are perfect when:

  • The tooth is missing or beyond saving

  • You want something permanent, not periodic

  • You demand both form and function—without compromise

🖤 Dental Implant vs Crown: Let’s Compare

Feature Dental Crown Dental Implant
Tooth Condition Needs healthy root Root can be missing or damaged
Longevity 5–15 years 20+ years (often lifetime)
Aesthetic Great Flawless
Stability Good Supreme (secured into jawbone)
Cost Lower upfront Greater long-term value
Impact Cosmetic enhancement Full structural + aesthetic renewal

👑 So… Which One Should You Choose?

Here’s my take, love:
A crown is a makeover.
An implant is a rebirth.

If the tooth can be saved—and your timeline is tight—a crown can serve you well. But if you’re playing the long game, building your brand, and making moves that last? An implant is your legacy locked in place.
