A crown caps a tooth that has lost too much structure to stand alone. Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits custom crowns at Pier Dental, and she personally handles any root canal beforehand.
A crown takes two visits, so for Gary patients we set both dates together and keep the temporary crown comfortable in between.
From scan to bonding
The tooth is shaped and our TRIOS scanner takes a 3D impression. A temporary goes on until the permanent crown returns from the lab.
We check your bite before you leave.

Saving a tooth from extraction
A crown, sometimes after a root canal, can keep a failing tooth for years. Extraction is a last resort.
We explain the tradeoffs.

Inlays and onlays
These cover part of a tooth and leave more of it intact. They suit moderate damage.
Ask whether they fit your case.

About Gary
Gary was incorporated as its own city in 1915, abolished in 1919 and absorbed by Tampa in 1923. Our office is 25.3 miles away in a straight line, with the bay between.
Plan for a longer drive than that figure suggests. A phone call can tell you whether a crown is really needed.
Call (727) 363-6169 if a tooth is cracked or sore. Same-day emergency visits, CareCredit and our savings plan are available.
