When a tooth has cracked, worn thin or been treated with a root canal, a crown often gives it the strength it needs. It fits over the tooth and takes the force of chewing.
Our TRIOS 3D scan creates the digital record for your crown, so there is no putty tray to bite on. Cedar Hammock is 22.1 miles away in a straight line, so we choose your two dates up front.
Making the crown
The tooth is numbed and reshaped, then scanned. A temporary crown goes on to protect it.
Dr. Pierpont bonds the final crown at the second visit.

Root canal, then crown
The infection is cleared first, and the crown follows. It keeps a weakened tooth from fracturing.
Pain when you bite is worth checking quickly.

An inlay or onlay if less will do
A smaller custom restoration can repair moderate damage. It saves healthy tooth structure.
We will recommend it when it makes sense.

About Cedar Hammock
Residential growth in Cedar Hammock began in the late 1940s along the Tamiami Trail. Teeth and fillings of long standing sometimes need new support, too.
A crown now can spare you a bigger repair later.
