If a tooth is broken down, a crown can bring back strength and shape. Dr. Pierpont fits custom crowns for East Tampa patients who need a lasting repair.
The tooth is numbed, reshaped and scanned digitally with our TRIOS scanner, then covered temporarily while the permanent crown is made.
Choosing the right material
Crowns can be porcelain, ceramic or metal. The best choice depends on where the tooth sits and how hard you bite.
Dr. Pierpont explains the trade-offs in plain terms.

Protecting a tooth after a root canal
Without a crown, a tooth that has had a root canal can fracture. The cap guards the weakened structure.
We schedule both treatments with that sequence in mind.

White fillings first, when they will do
Not every worn tooth needs a crown. A new white filling is the lighter step when enough healthy structure remains.
We would rather save your money and your tooth.

About East Tampa
Between 15th Street and 40th Street, East Tampa spreads across a wide stretch of Hillsborough County’s largest city.
A crown takes two appointments. The office is about 25 miles away in a straight line from there, so we help you plan the pair and offer free second opinions if you want another view.
Call (727) 363-6169 to have a tooth checked. If it hurts now, ask for a same-day emergency slot.
