Pier Dental restores damaged teeth for Rio Vista patients with crowns that match the shade and bite of the teeth around them, designed by Dr. Brittany Pierpont.
A Rio Vista evaluation covers the tooth, the bite and the alternatives, so you decide only after understanding all of it.
Fitting a custom crown
Dr. Pierpont shapes the damaged tooth, takes a mold or scan and has your crown made to match your bite and shade. Rio Vista patients wear a temporary one in between.
The final crown is bonded securely.

Protecting a tooth after a root canal
After infected tissue is removed, a crown is typically placed to restore strength. A Rio Vista patient finishing a root canal usually follows with a crown.
It keeps the tooth working for years.

When a large filling is not enough
A tooth with a big older filling can weaken over time, and a new white filling may be enough if enough structure remains. If not, Dr. Pierpont will tell a Rio Vista patient a crown is the stronger answer.
We explain why either way.
