Teeth that have been filled several times or cracked along the way sometimes need more than a patch. A crown wraps the whole visible tooth and restores its strength.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits crowns at Pier Dental for Belleair Bluffs patients, and a 3D scan from our TRIOS scanner helps the lab match your bite.
The path to a finished crown
We numb the tooth, reshape it and capture a digital impression. A temporary crown covers it until the permanent one returns.
At the second visit we bond it and fine-tune how it meets your other teeth.

Protection after a root canal
A tooth that has had a root canal is often more brittle. A crown guards it from splitting.
We explain the sequence before treatment starts, so each step makes sense.

Conservative alternatives
If most of the tooth is sound, an inlay or onlay may cover the damage and keep more natural structure.
We pick the least invasive option that will hold up.

About Belleair Bluffs
Belleair Bluffs became a municipality in 1963 and is only about 0.6 square miles. A crown needs two visits, so a short, predictable schedule helps.
We are at 8351 Blind Pass Rd, about 12.5 miles from the city in a straight line. Free second opinions are on offer if you want another view on a crown recommendation.
