Crowns cover and protect teeth that are broken, worn down or weakened. Dr. Brittany Pierpont decides with you whether a crown is the right fix. If you want to check another dentist’s advice, our second opinions are free.
Palma Sola Park is about 19 miles from our St. Pete Beach office as a straight line. We tell you exactly what each visit involves so the drive is predictable.
Your tooth, scanned in 3D
With the TRIOS scanner, a small wand records your tooth digitally. You avoid putty-filled trays, and the lab gets accurate information.
A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent one is made.

Do you need a root canal?
A deep crack or decay can reach the nerve. If so, root canal therapy comes first, followed by a crown.
Dr. Pierpont provides both in the office.

An onlay can be enough
Sometimes only one section of the tooth is damaged. An onlay or inlay replaces that part and keeps the rest.
We recommend the option that lasts best, not the biggest one.
