A tooth that has been filled and refilled eventually runs out of strength. A crown gives it a new outer shell and a second chance.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits crowns for Egypt Lake patients and explains whether a smaller repair would do.
What a crown visit looks like
We numb the tooth, reshape it and scan it with our TRIOS scanner. A temporary protects it until the finished crown is ready.
Next we cement it and test your bite.

Crowns following root canals
After root canal therapy, the tooth needs reinforcement. A crown handles it.
We explain timing early so nothing surprises you.

Inlays and onlays
These fill the area between a filling and a crown. They protect more healthy tooth.
They can be made from porcelain or composite.
