Why Should I Get Implant Crowns?
Implant crowns are vital for completing your dental implant treatment, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile naturally again. Without them, your dental implant remains incomplete, and so does your functionality.
At Apollonia Dental, we understand how precious your smile is. That’s why Dr. McGrath, a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), brings elite-level expertise to every case.
Whether you're seeking better aesthetics or need a solution for a worn, broken, or missing tooth, our implant crowns are custom-created with precision and care, ensuring long-term comfort, optimal alignment, and a natural appearance.

Dental implants can last 30+ years with proper care, sometimes even a lifetime.
The Benefits Of Implant Crowns
Natural-Looking Aesthetics
Each implant crown is custom-shaped and color-matched to blend perfectly with your existing teeth. The result is a seamless, confident smile that looks and feels entirely natural.
Durability and Strength
Implant crowns are crafted from high-grade materials like zirconia or porcelain, delivering resilience that stands the test of daily chewing and speaking.
Stability Without Affecting Other Teeth
Unlike bridges or partials, implant crowns don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, preserving the structure of your entire smile.
The Implant Crowns Treatment Process
Digital Planning and Design
Digital Planning and Design
During your implant recovery process, Dr. McGrath will use tools like CBCT 3D imaging and intraoral scanning to create precise digital models and design your custom crown. We’ll also review your medical and dental history to ensure a personalized treatment plan aligned with your goals, comfort level, and long-term oral health.
Fabrication of the Custom Crown
Fabrication of the Custom Crown
Once the design is finalized, the crown is crafted using high-quality materials via our trusted dental lab partners. Dr. McGrath works closely with lab technicians to ensure your restoration matches the look and feel of your natural teeth. With extensive experience and credentials, he guarantees that each crown is not only beautiful but optimized for proper bite and function.
Final Crown Placement
Final Crown Placement
During your final visit, the permanent implant crown is bonded or screwed into the abutment, a small connector on top of the implant. This step is painless and completed with gentle, precise care. Dr. McGrath will ensure your bite is perfectly aligned and that you’re comfortable with your new restoration. Before you leave, we’ll provide guidance on caring for your crown to ensure lasting success.
What is Perio Protect?
Perio Protect is a non-invasive, at-home treatment that works alongside in-office periodontal care to help manage and prevent gum disease. This system uses custom-fitted trays—called Perio Trays®—designed to deliver a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel deep below the gumline. These trays allow medication to reach the bacteria responsible for periodontal disease in places brushing and flossing simply can’t.
Unlike traditional antibiotic treatments or more aggressive surgical options, Perio Protect is gentle, effective, and designed for long-term use as part of your daily routine. The trays are worn for just minutes a day and are FDA-cleared for use in managing periodontal disease.
Benefits of Perio Protect
Our comfortable, well-appointed office provides a relaxing and spa-like experience for every patient. Our amenities include:
- Cost-Effective Preventive Care: With proper use, Perio Protect can offer long-term savings by reducing the need for advanced periodontal procedures.
- Enhances In-Office Results: When used as recommended, Perio Protect supports the results of your professional cleanings and periodontal therapy—helping maintain healthy gums between visits.
- Prevents Disease Progression: By reducing harmful bacteria on a daily basis, this system can help prevent the need for more invasive and costly treatments in the future.
- Convenient and Comfortable: The custom trays are soft, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine—no injections, no surgery, and no downtime required.
- Freshens Breath and Gently Whitens Teeth: Many patients notice an improvement in breath odor and even mild teeth whitening as a bonus side effect from the hydrogen peroxide gel.
