Teeth wear down over the years, and some break. Dr. Brittany Pierpont places crowns at Pier Dental for patients near Fort De Soto so that damaged teeth can keep working.
We pick the material, such as porcelain, ceramic or metal, with your bite in mind.
Scanning and temporary crowns
Our TRIOS scanner captures your tooth digitally, which spares you messy impression material. A temporary crown covers the tooth in the meantime.
The permanent crown is bonded at your second visit.

Crowning a root canal tooth
After a root canal, the tooth is clean inside but weaker. A crown protects it from fracturing.
You will understand this sequence before we begin.

Is an onlay enough?
If only part of the tooth is damaged, an inlay or onlay may be the lighter fix. It preserves healthy structure.
We like to keep the repair as small as will last.
