When an Ulmerton patient has a tooth that can no longer hold up by itself, Dr. Brittany Pierpont may recommend a custom crown, and she will go through the alternatives too.
Ulmerton patients are walked through what is wrong, what could fix it and what each fix involves before agreeing to anything.
What a crown does for a damaged tooth
A crown covers the whole visible tooth to restore strength, shape and appearance after decay, injury or wear. Patients from Ulmerton come to us when a tooth keeps breaking down.
Good care helps a crown last.

Crowns after an injury
A hard blow can crack or chip a tooth beyond what bonding can handle. Dr. Pierpont evaluates trauma cases for Ulmerton patients and may recommend a crown to protect what remains.
Prompt treatment matters.

A conservative alternative
An onlay covers a larger area than a filling but preserves more tooth than a crown. For Ulmerton patients with moderate damage, it can be the best match.
Digital impressions make a precise fit.
