This is the visible tooth that goes on top of an implant, together with the abutment, the connector between the two. It is the second half of an implant case and it is quoted on its own.
The clinic we list in Cuenca publishes $600 to $750 for a standard implant crown including the abutment. The implant itself is published separately at $600 to $750.
We list one clinic in Cuenca, INNOVATIVE DENTAL, a featured partner. There is no second Cuenca clinic on this site to rank it against, so this page describes what it publishes rather than ranking it. Featured partner describes a selection process and a commercial relationship, not a clinical endorsement.
$600 to $750 covers the abutment and the crown. Including the abutment matters, because a quote that leaves it out looks cheaper and is not.
A typical private-practice crown in the United States is quoted around $1,500. That is a typical figure rather than a survey. Ecuador prices in US dollars, so no conversion applies.
If you want zirconia rather than a standard crown, that is a separate line item on this site and costs more.

Ask on WhatsAppThe procedure
What standard implant crown (including abutment) involves.
1. Healing check. The implant is tested to confirm it has integrated with the bone before anything is loaded onto it.
2. Abutment. The connector is fitted to the implant.
3. Impression or scan. The shape is sent to the laboratory, along with a shade match to your neighbouring teeth.
4. Fitting. The crown is seated and the bite is adjusted, usually across two appointments a few days apart.
Recovery
Recovery and aftercare.
There is little recovery. The gum around the abutment may be tender for a day or two.
The bite is the thing to pay attention to. A crown that sits even slightly high will feel wrong and can damage the implant over time, so say so at the appointment rather than hoping it settles.
Do not leave the country with a temporary crown you were told to have replaced at home. That is how a cheap case becomes an expensive one.
Risks
Risks and considerations.
Crowns can loosen, chip or come away from the abutment. A screw-retained crown can usually be refitted; a cemented one may need remaking.
The gum around an implant crown needs cleaning as carefully as a natural tooth. Neglect leads to peri-implantitis, which threatens the implant underneath, not just the crown.
Ask what the crown is made of, and what the warranty covers if it fails after you fly home.
Planning the trip
Getting to Cuenca for treatment.
Lab work sets the timetable. The tooth is prepared at the first appointment and the finished restoration is fitted once the laboratory returns it, so plan on two appointments spaced several days apart and a stay of about a week.
Cuenca has its own airport, Mariscal Lamar (CUE), served by domestic flights. Most international patients arrive through Guayaquil (GYE) or Quito (UIO) and connect from there. Guayaquil is roughly four hours away by road.
Cuenca sits at around 2,560 metres and some visitors need a day or two to adjust.
Questions
Standard Implant Crown (including abutment) in Ecuador: the questions we get.
What is an abutment?
It is the connector between the implant in your jaw and the crown you can see. This published fee includes it.
Can the crown be fitted on the same trip as the implant?
Usually not. The implant needs several months to integrate with bone before a crown can be loaded onto it.
How is this different from the zirconia crown listed separately?
The zirconia crown on an implant is a different material at a higher published fee. Ask the clinic which it recommends for your case.
Pricing is drawn from the fees published by 1 listed clinic, one value per clinic. Costs vary with case complexity and materials, and only a clinic's written quote applies to you. SmileJet is an information service, not a healthcare provider, and nothing here is medical advice. How we source prices.
