When a tooth has more filling than tooth, or a crack is spreading, a crown can save it. Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits custom crowns at Pier Dental for Cross Bayou patients.
Your crown can be porcelain, ceramic or metal, depending on the tooth and your bite.

An inlay or onlay can repair a medium-sized area without covering the entire tooth. It keeps more of the natural structure.
If it will hold, we would rather do less.
