A crown caps a damaged tooth so it can keep working. Dr. Brittany Pierpont creates custom crowns at Pier Dental for patients from Oakhurst Terrace.
Porcelain, ceramic and metal are all possible, and we pick one to suit the tooth.
Preparing the tooth
We numb the area and reshape the tooth to receive the crown. A TRIOS scan then records the shape digitally.
You wear a temporary crown while the permanent one is made.

A crown after root canal therapy
Teeth treated with a root canal lose some strength. A crown brings it back.
We cover the whole plan in advance.

Onlays for medium damage
An onlay covers part of the chewing surface and saves healthy tooth. It can be porcelain or composite.
Your options will be explained at the exam.
