A crown is a two-visit treatment, which suits a long drive better than many options. Dr. Brittany Pierpont plans each step to avoid extra trips for Fort Lonely patients.
A TRIOS scan replaces messy impression material and helps the lab fit the crown closely.
The two-visit schedule
At visit one, the tooth is prepared, scanned and capped with a temporary. At visit two, your permanent crown is cemented.
We keep the gap between visits as short as the lab allows.

Root canal and crown together
When decay has reached the nerve, we can plan the root canal and the crown as one sequence.
That saves repeat explanations and repeat trips.

A smaller fix when possible
An inlay or onlay may be all a partly damaged tooth needs.
We choose the least invasive option that will last.

About Fort Lonely
Fort Lonely is a community in Hillsborough County so crowns involve a drive across the bay.
Our office is about 14.2 miles away in a straight line at 8351 Blind Pass Rd. Free second opinions are available if you want one on a crown plan.
Call (727) 363-6169 before the tooth breaks. If it hurts now, ask for a same-day emergency visit.
