A crown caps a tooth that is too damaged to hold up on its own. Dr. Brittany Pierpont fits custom crowns at Pier Dental for patients coming from Elwood Park and beyond.
The process takes two visits at minimum. We schedule them with your travel in mind and keep the temporary crown comfortable in between.
From scan to final crown
First the tooth is shaped under numbing, and a TRIOS scan captures its exact contours. A temporary goes on while the permanent crown is made.
The second visit is for bonding and fine-tuning your bite.

After a root canal
A tooth that has had a root canal is hollowed out and weaker. A crown seals it and lets you chew normally again.
Dr. Pierpont does both steps, so one person knows your case.

When less will do
Sometimes an inlay or onlay saves more natural tooth than a crown. We pick the smallest repair that will hold.
That can mean less drilling and a lower bill.
