Teeth that have been filled several times, cracked or treated with a root canal often need a crown. Dr. Pierpont designs crowns for South Highpoint patients that fit your bite and look like the teeth around them.
You will see your options and your costs before work begins.
When is a crown necessary
A crown is the right call when the tooth has too little structure to hold a filling. Dr. Pierpont confirms that with an exam and X-rays.
If a smaller repair would work, she will say so.

Root canal, then crown
Treating an infected nerve saves the tooth, and the crown protects it from the cracks that follow.
Together they let you keep your natural tooth.

Inlays and onlays
These cover part of the chewing surface and keep more of the tooth than a full crown.
They fit teeth with moderate damage.
