A crown fits over a tooth like a cap to restore its strength and shape. Dr. Brittany Pierpont makes them for patients as far away as the Greater Sun Center area.
Since two visits are the minimum, we plan carefully and keep the temporary crown comfortable. You should not have to rush back for a loose one.
Scan, temporary, permanent
Our TRIOS scanner records a digital impression after the tooth is reshaped. A temporary crown protects the tooth while the permanent one is made.
At visit two, the crown is bonded and your bite is checked.

A crown after a root canal
Once the infected nerve is cleared, the tooth is weaker. A crown protects it from fracturing under normal chewing.
We discuss this pairing before treatment starts.

Inlays and onlays
When only part of a tooth is damaged, an inlay or onlay can preserve more of it. They are made from porcelain or composite.
We choose the least invasive option that lasts.
