Some teeth have been through too much. Dr. Pierpont uses crowns to hold cracked or weakened teeth together for Baskin patients, so they can chew normally again.
Every crown is matched to the shade of your other teeth.
From exam to cementing
We evaluate the tooth with X-rays, prepare it, take impressions and place a temporary. The permanent crown follows once it is made.
You will know each step ahead of time.

If a root canal comes first
A tooth with an infected nerve may need root canal therapy before it can be capped. The two steps often go together.
Together they preserve the natural tooth.

A partial cover
Onlays and inlays protect part of a damaged tooth. Dr. Pierpont may suggest one when enough healthy tooth remains.
They are a more conservative option than a full crown.

About Baskin
Largo was a rural farming community before suburban growth arrived. Teeth shaped by decades of wear deserve the same attention that old buildings get when they are renovated.
From Baskin it is about 10.5 miles to our office. We will give you a free second opinion on any crown recommendation.
Call (727) 363-6169 to schedule a crown evaluation. Payment help is available through CareCredit and our in-house plan.
