Oldsmar’s 1918 Bank Building is still standing, and a good crown is meant to endure in the same way. If a tooth has cracked, worn down or been filled many times, a crown can give it the strength to last.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont plans and places crowns at our St. Pete Beach office. That is about 21 miles from Harbor Palms in a straight line, so we explain the visit schedule up front.
Why a crown instead of another filling
A filling that takes up most of a tooth leaves thin walls that can split. A crown wraps the whole tooth and spreads the force of chewing.
We examine the tooth before suggesting one, and we will tell you if a smaller repair would work.

Scans, not messy trays
TRIOS scanning records your tooth digitally in a few minutes. You see the image, and the lab receives a precise file.
It is gentler on people who gag easily.

Root canal and crown together
Once a root canal is finished, the tooth generally gets a crown for protection. Dr. Pierpont handles both steps, so your treatment stays in one office.
We plan the sequence so the tooth is protected between visits.
