Born and raised in Salt Lake City, both Drs.

Our office is conveniently located on Foothill Drive and is accessible via all major roads. We are proud of our office which fully utilizes state-of-the-art equipment. We have a modern sterilization system that surpasses OSHA requirements. The source of water for our dental units is distilled water (bottled water) which removes any chance of contamination from regular tap water like that used in most dental offices.
Our friendly and competent staff is dedicated to patient comfort and quality care. Offering the best and latest in dental technology and treatment options, we provide gentle, family-oriented dental care to the adults and children of this community. We utilize the best equipment sterilization techniques available to dentists. In addition to General Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry, we work with specialists in Periodontics (gum diseases), Implant Dentistry, and Endodontics (root canal treatments), as well as other specialists. Our team emphasizes comprehensive quality care and preventive dentistry.
So glad I came here! I have always had fear of dentists and they made me feel so comfortable! Dr. Bailey and her staff are just amazing. They got me in quickly, and explained everything so I wouldn't be nervous. They did not pressure me into any treatments that weren't necessary. Will keep coming here!
Following treatment for physical trauma or decay, a dental crown is placed over the tooth for added protection and support. Prompt treatment with a dental crown can help you keep your smile whole andavoid the need for extraction. If a tooth does require extraction, our dentists can fill the gap in your smile with a crown supported by dental implants.
At Foothill Dental, our dentists offer three material options for dental crowns to meet the needs of patients of all ages. Whether a patient receives a porcelain same-day crown, IPS e.max ceramic crown, or all-metal crown, the materials we use are designed to withstand normal biting forces and can last a decade or longer with proper care and regular checkups.
The dental crowns we provide are not only incredibly durable, but our porcelain and ceramic crowns are crafted of materials that are engineered to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. When developing your individualized treatment plan, your new crown will be color-matched to the surrounding teeth in your smile to provide seamless results.
We love Foothill Dental! Weve always received high level dental care from all the hygienists and dentists. Beyond thatthey are the most friendly, caring, and fun office. The staff is amazing and works so hard to accommodate my 7 children I bring in. I cant recommend them highly enough! They also are very organized and give very accurate quotes for dental work before it is done. They are the best!
Our Salt Lake City dental office features the revolutionary in-office CEREC system. This allows patients to skip the multiple visits and temporary crown that is associated with a traditional dental crown.
A tooth that is weakened due to physical trauma may not take as long as a tooth affected by extensive decay. If decay has reached the inner portion of your tooth, you may require a root canal. Our dentists can perform a virtually pain-free root canal to save your tooth, but it will add some time to your office stay.
Once your tooth has been treated and prepared, your dentist will use an intraoral camera to take detailed 3D images of your teeth. This data is then transferred to the CEREC software, where a crown will be designed to perfectly fit in your smile. The digital template is then sent to our in-office milling machine which will fabricate your new crown out of a porcelain block that has been matched to your natural enamel. Depending on the type of tooth being replaced, fabrication takes four to twenty minutes.
Once both you and your dentist are happy with the fit and appearance of your new crown, it will be permanently bonded in place with dental cement. You will walk out of our office with a fully restored smile, ready to get on with your busy schedule.
IPS e.max crowns are a great option for someone who is interested in a dental implant-supported crown. They are also perfect for patients who prefer a hand-finished restoration for the most natural-looking results. Traditional dental crown placement at our Salt Lake City office includes:
We use digital impressions which provide an incredibly detailed 3D image for our dental lab to use as a template for your new crown. It also allows you to skip the mess of traditional impression material. Once completed, our dentist will place a temporary crown.
Once your permanent crown is ready, you will return to our office. Your dentist will remove your temporary crown and place your new dental restoration. Any final adjustments for fit and appearance will be made before permanently attaching it with dental cement.
Patients across Utah trust Drs. Matt and David Stohl to provide them with superior dental care, particularly when it comes to implant dentistry. When you decide to rebuild your smile using this solution, you need tochoose a board-certified dentist with the experience and skill necessary to provide excellent long-term results. That is what we provide to patients at Foothill Dental.
Implant-supported crowns may be recommended if you are missing a single tooth. For these patients, our dentists will place a single implant. Once the healing period is complete, we can secure an abutment and crown to the implant.
Dental implants replace the tooth roots, giving them the ability to securely hold tooth restorations in place just like the natural teeth. They can be used to address any degree of tooth loss and can replace missing teeth in any area of the mouth.
If you have healthy gums and adequate bone tissue in your jaw, dental implants from our Salt Lake City, UT, practice are probably the best way to replace your missing teeth. In general, dental implant treatments involve:
Once thehealing period is complete, we can attach the abutments to the implants. This requires a second procedure in which weadminister numbing medication, make an incision in the gums, and place the abutments. The gums are then sutured closed in a way that leaves the abutments accessible above the gumline.
