Crowns & Dental Implants

Crowns and Dental Implants represent two important ways that St. Matthews Dentistry approach treating teeth when decay or other circumstances result in damage to the structure of your teeth. Both crowns and implants are used extensively by dentists and can improve your smile and your quality of life.

Crowns

A dental crown or “cap” is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed or unattractive tooth. It can even replace a tooth entirely as part of dental bridgework. Crowns strengthen damaged teeth, allowing them to function normally again. When crafted from today's high-tech porcelains (dental ceramics), crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. They can even be designed to improve upon a tooth's original appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants represent the longest-lasting option for replacing lost of damaged teeth. Implants are inserted during a minor surgical procedure and, once the surgical site has healed, the implant is used to support a custom-made crown that matches your other teeth. Dental implant procedures have a high success rate of 95%, significantly higher than other approaches to tooth replacement.
