When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown can step in. It covers the whole tooth above the gum, restoring its shape and strength.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont places crowns at Pier Dental for Belleair Beach patients, and we scan with TRIOS so there is no gooey impression tray.
Making and fitting a crown
The tooth is numbed and trimmed, scanned and covered with a temporary. A few days later, the custom crown is cemented.
We check your bite before you leave.

When decay reaches the nerve
A root canal removes infected tissue and stops the pain, and a crown seals the result.
Dr. Pierpont performs root canals right in the office.

Using less tooth with an onlay
An onlay can cover a damaged cusp while leaving the rest of the tooth alone.
It is a good choice when the damage is limited.
