Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits custom crowns at Pier Dental for Indian Shores patients whose teeth have been weakened by decay, injury or wear, and she explains every step first.
Indian Shores patients receive a full explanation of the options, and the decision to proceed is always theirs.
Why a crown might be recommended
A crown restores the strength and look of a tooth damaged by decay, injury or wear. Indian Shores patients with a weakened tooth often learn a crown is the most durable fix.
Many last 10 to 15 years or more.

Cracked teeth and crowns
A crack that reaches deep into a tooth can be covered with a crown to keep it from spreading. An Indian Shores patient who notices a sharp bite twinge should come in soon.
Early care means more choices.

Inlays and onlays first
If a tooth has moderate decay and enough healthy structure, an inlay or onlay may do the job. Dr. Pierpont reviews that option for Indian Shores patients before suggesting a crown.
They are custom-made in a dental lab.
