A crown can rescue a tooth that has too little structure left for a filling. It rebuilds shape and strength. Dr. Brittany Pierpont uses one only when something smaller would not last.
From Ellenton, our St. Pete Beach office is around 20 miles away in a straight line and farther by road. We discuss the schedule at the start so the trips are planned, not guesses.
Why a scan helps
The TRIOS scanner builds a 3D image of your teeth without impression putty. You can look at the image with us.
That model helps us shape a crown that meets your bite correctly.

After a root canal
Teeth treated with a root canal can be more fragile. A crown caps the tooth and spreads biting force.
Dr. Pierpont performs root canals in the office, so planning both together is simple.

Cracks and fractures
A cracked tooth may hurt only at certain angles. It can then worsen without warning.
A crown can hold the tooth together if the damage allows. If not, we explain the alternatives.
