A crown covers a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape. Pier Dental makes them from a TRIOS 3D digital scan, so you skip the bite trays and putty.
Manavista is some 21 miles from St. Pete Beach in a straight line. We space the steps sensibly, with a temporary crown in place between visits.
How the scanner helps
A small wand records your tooth in minutes and builds a 3D model on screen. You can see what we see.
A dental lab makes your crown from that model, and we check the fit and color at delivery.

When a root canal comes first
A tooth with a deep infection needs the nerve cleaned out before a crown goes on. An exam and X-rays tell us.
Dr. Pierpont performs root canals herself, which keeps your care in one office.

Onlays when less will do
If only part of the tooth is damaged, an onlay can repair it and save more of your enamel.
We tell you which we would choose for your tooth and why.
