Crowns suit teeth that have cracked, worn thin or taken on too many fillings. They cover the visible part of the tooth and spread out chewing force.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits crowns for patients from Port Sutton, choosing the material to fit the tooth’s job.
How it gets done
The tooth is numbed and reshaped, and our TRIOS scanner captures an impression without the putty. A temporary is worn until the permanent crown is ready.
Then it is bonded and the bite fine-tuned.

Strengthening a root canal tooth
After a root canal, a crown seals the tooth and guards against splitting.
We schedule the two steps close together.

Not every tooth needs a full crown
Onlays and inlays repair a portion of the tooth. They keep more natural structure when conditions allow.
Dr. Pierpont will explain your choices.
