"Dr. Malament's work is of the highest standard."
Madeleine Taylor

Dr. Malament's work is of the highest standard. He and his team have created numerous crowns for me over the years with attention to the both aesthetics and overall dental health. My regular dentist has observed many times that Dr. Malament is at the top of his field and his work has no parallel.

What Does a Dental Crown Treat?
When decay reaches the inner structure of the tooth, you will need a root canal to clean out the infected pulp. After a root canal, the dentist will typically recommend a dental crown to protect the structure from future infection.
Dental crowns provide the coverage a tooth needs when cracks and other breakages cannot be repaired with dental bonding, inlays, or veneers. Since a dental crown caps the entire surface, it will provide additional support to the already weakened structure.
If you are not a good candidate for other cosmetic treatments, crowns can improve a versatile range of imperfections. The dentist will match the restorative materials to your existing tooth enamel so the dental crown looks virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Missing teeth can be replaced by an implant-supported crown. Dental implants are placed within the gum tissue, fusing with the jawbone, and simulating a tooth's roots. Implants can support several types of dental restorations depending on how many teeth you are missing.
Same-Day Crown Treatment
With innovations in modern dentistry, the dentist can now treat a patient's affected tooth and install a dental crown in a single appointment. The CEREC® same-day crown system uses advanced digital imaging software to take precise scans of the mouth and unload immediately to our chairside monitor for crown design.
The dentist plans a custom fitting restoration and sends the design to an in-office milling machine for quick and convenient crown construction. The CEREC system can produce the final restoration in under an hour, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and multiple office visits.
Are You a Good Candidate for a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are a suitable option to address a range of dental concerns. During a consultation with one of our certified prosthodontists, you can learn more about whether you qualify. The best candidates for treatment have...
Good Overall Health
Candidates for dental crowns should have good overall health. Besides the tooth intended for the crown treatment, you should have a healthy smile free of periodontal disease. If you suffer from any other dental condition, we can provide additional treatment.
Sufficient Enamel
You will need a certain amount of healthy tooth enamel to support a crown. Since the crown encapsulates the entire tooth it must provide a strong foundation for the restoration. If you do not have adequate enamel, we may recommend extracting the tooth and placing dental implants.
No Bruxism
Patients that suffer from bruxism, or the grinding of the teeth, might not be ideal crown candidates. Bruxism can erode a crown, making treatment ineffective. If you grind your teeth we might suggest treating the condition before placing a crown
