Crowns protect teeth that are cracked, worn or recovering from a root canal. Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits them in the office, and one dentist follows your case through.
Two visits is the usual minimum, so we fix both dates when we plan your treatment.

Our TRIOS scanner replaces trays of putty with a quick 3D scan. It is more comfortable and usually more accurate.
The scan guides the crown made for your tooth.

A crowned tooth stands up to chewing again.

It often saves more natural tooth.
