Implant Crowns in St. Peters, MO

Restore Missing Teeth with Natural-Looking Implant Crowns

Losing a tooth can impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants are the most advanced way to replace missing teeth – and at Scanlon Family Dental, we specialize in restoring those implants with custom, lifelike implant crowns. Whether you’ve recently had an implant placed by a specialist or are updating an older restoration, our St. Peters dental team will ensure your new crown looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.

What Are Implant Crowns?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that a specialist places in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. Once the area has healed and the implant has fused with the bone, a custom implant crown is attached on top to restore the visible part of your tooth.

At Scanlon Family Dental, we design and place these implant-supported crowns to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. Each crown is handcrafted for strength, comfort, and natural beauty  –  allowing you to smile, chew, and speak with confidence again.

We do not perform surgical implant placement in our office, but we collaborate closely with trusted oral surgeons and periodontists to ensure your entire implant process is smooth, safe, and successful. Once your implant is placed and healed, we take care of the final restoration and long-term maintenance right here in our St. Peters office.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Crowns

Compared to traditional tooth replacements, implant crowns offer exceptional durability, aesthetics, and function. They’re designed to act and feel like real teeth, allowing you to enjoy life without compromise.

Advantages include:

  • Permanent, stable tooth replacement
  • Natural look and feel  –  matched precisely to your enamel shade
  • Preservation of jawbone health by stimulating natural bone growth
  • Protection for neighboring teeth, unlike bridges that rely on support from adjacent teeth
  • Improved chewing strength and speech clarity
  • Long-term reliability  –  with proper care, implants can last decades
Because dental implants integrate directly with your bone, they help prevent the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss, maintaining your facial shape and oral health over time.

Our Collaborative Approach to Implant Restorations

At Scanlon Family Dental, we believe in a team-based approach to implant dentistry. While we do not place the titanium post ourselves, we work hand-in-hand with local specialists who perform that part of the procedure. Once your implant has healed – typically after a few months – we’ll complete your restoration with a beautifully crafted crown designed to match your bite and smile perfectly.

Our process includes:

  • Consultation and Planning: We evaluate your existing implant or discuss your treatment goals and refer you to a trusted specialist for placement if needed.
  • Digital Imaging and Impressions: Using advanced digital X-rays and precision impressions, we gather detailed information to design your crown.
  • Custom Crown Fabrication: Your restoration is created from high-quality materials that replicate the translucency and strength of natural enamel.
  • Crown Placement: Once ready, we attach the custom crown securely to your implant abutment, making final adjustments for comfort, function, and aesthetics.
The result is a restoration so natural-looking and comfortable that most patients forget which tooth was replaced.

Types of Implant Crowns

Depending on your needs, your dentist will recommend one of two primary types of implant crowns:

  • Cement-Retained Crowns: These crowns are permanently cemented onto the abutment that connects to your implant. They provide a clean, natural look and are ideal for single-tooth replacements in aesthetic areas.
  • Screw-Retained Crowns: These crowns are attached with a small, hidden screw for easier future removal or maintenance. They’re often used in areas where accessibility is important.
We’ll review the pros and cons of each option and help you choose the type best suited to your smile and oral health goals.

Aesthetics and Durability You Can Trust

Our implant crowns are made from advanced, tooth-colored materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia. These materials mimic the shine, translucency, and feel of natural teeth while providing excellent durability. Every crown is custom-shaped and shaded to blend seamlessly with your smile.
In addition to matching your tooth color, we consider factors like your bite alignment, gum line, and facial symmetry to ensure a perfect fit. The result is a restoration that looks completely natural – only you and your dentist will know it’s an implant crown.

Digital X-Rays and Precision Planning

We use digital X-rays during your implant restoration process to ensure accuracy, safety, and long-term success. Digital imaging helps us evaluate bone structure, confirm implant stability, and verify that your new crown fits securely and comfortably.
Digital technology also reduces radiation exposure by up to 80% compared to traditional film, keeping your treatment safe and efficient.

Comfort and Relaxation During Treatment

If dental visits make you anxious, our team offers nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your procedure. Nitrous oxide is safe, fast-acting, and wears off quickly – allowing you to drive yourself home and return to normal activities right after your appointment.
Our compassionate, experienced staff will guide you through every step of your restoration, making sure you feel supported and at ease.

Caring for Your Implant Crown

One of the best parts of having an implant crown is how easy it is to care for. You can brush and floss it just like a natural tooth. To protect your investment:
  • Brush twice daily and floss at least once a day
  • Use non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent surface wear
  • Visit us for regular cleanings and checkups every six months
  • Avoid using your teeth to open packages or bite hard objects
With proper care, your implant crown can last many years – often decades – while maintaining its beauty and strength.

A Natural Smile, Restored with Confidence

Replacing a missing tooth is about more than appearance  –  it’s about restoring comfort, health, and confidence in your daily life. At Scanlon Family Dental, we’re committed to helping you achieve lasting results through precision-crafted implant restorations and personalized, honest care.

Whether you’ve just completed implant placement or are looking to replace an old crown, our team will make sure your smile looks and feels like new.
