A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged tooth and holds it together. If your dentist says you need one, you are welcome to get a free second opinion at Pier Dental. Dr. Brittany Pierpont will tell you what she sees.
We are about 19 miles from Memphis in a straight line. A digital TRIOS scan means fewer remakes and no trays, so each visit is time well spent.
Why digital scanning helps
The scanner is a small wand that builds a 3D picture of your tooth. The lab makes your crown from that picture.
A temporary crown protects the tooth until the permanent one arrives.

Crowns and root canals
A tooth that has had a root canal is often more fragile. A crown covers it so it is less likely to crack.
Dr. Pierpont performs root canals in the office and can plan the crown at the same time.

Onlays save more tooth
If the damage covers only part of the tooth, an onlay may be enough. It conserves your natural structure.
We recommend whichever option will last longest.
