Crowns protect teeth that are cracked, heavily filled or weakened by decay. At Pier Dental, we make them from a TRIOS 3D scan rather than a tray of impression putty.
You would travel from Apollo Beach, about 21 miles by straight line and longer on the road. We explain the visit schedule at the start, including the temporary crown.
A scan in place of putty
The TRIOS wand captures your tooth digitally in a minute or two. It is easy on people who gag.
The model goes to a dental lab, and your crown comes back made to it.

Cracks that need a closer look
A crack can be small on the surface and deep below. Pain on biting is a common sign.
Dr. Pierpont examines it and decides whether a crown is the right fix.

Root canal and crown together
An infected tooth often needs a root canal and then a crown. The crown keeps the treated tooth from fracturing.
Both are done at our office.
