Curlew Road is a state highway that sees constant use, and teeth are no different. When a tooth has a crack, a big filling or a root canal behind it, a crown gives it armor.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont plans crowns at Pier Dental in St. Pete Beach. We are around 21 miles from Curlew by straight line, so we explain the sequence of visits in advance.
TRIOS scanning for accuracy
The TRIOS wand creates a 3D image of your tooth in a short time. The lab uses it to shape the crown, and we use it to check the bite.
No gooey trays are involved.

Crowns after a root canal
Root canal teeth lose some of their strength. A crown covers the tooth and spreads the force of chewing.
We do the root canal in our office, which keeps your care together.

Is an onlay enough?
An onlay covers just the damaged cusps, preserving more of your tooth. We pick it when the walls are sound.
If the damage is broader, a full crown lasts better.
