A crown is a custom cover that protects a tooth too weak to stand alone. It can be made of porcelain, ceramic or metal, depending on where it goes.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits crowns for Adamsville patients and explains each choice. You decide, with all the facts.
Using the TRIOS scanner
After the tooth is shaped, the TRIOS scanner captures a detailed digital impression. That scan helps the lab build a precise fit.
A temporary stays on until the final crown is ready.

Saving a tooth after root canal therapy
The tooth is sealed, then covered so it does not crack under chewing. This is a very common pairing.
We explain the timeline beforehand.

When a lesser repair fits
An onlay or inlay covers part of the tooth and keeps more of it. They are suited to moderate damage.
We choose the least invasive repair that holds up.
