When a tooth has more repair than original structure, a crown becomes the sensible way to keep it. The cover protects what remains and restores a normal bite.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont makes custom crowns at Pier Dental for patients from the Remlap area.
Shaping, scanning, temporary
After numbing, we reshape the tooth and capture a digital impression with the TRIOS scanner. A temporary crown goes on.
The permanent one is bonded at your next visit.

Crowns that protect root canals
A tooth with a treated root is weaker. The crown seals it and reduces the chance of fracture.
We schedule these steps to follow one another closely.

A smaller option when it fits
Inlays and onlays repair damage without covering the whole tooth. They suit moderate decay.
Dr. Pierpont chooses the most conservative one.
