A crown can rescue a tooth that is weakened by a big filling, a crack or a root canal. It sits over the tooth like a custom cap.
Pier Dental takes a TRIOS 3D scan instead of using impression material. With North Ruskin 22.0 miles away in a straight line, we set both crown appointments in advance.
Visit one and visit two
At the first visit the tooth is numbed, shaped and scanned, and you leave in a temporary. The second visit brings the final crown.
Dr. Pierpont checks your bite before you go.

After a root canal, protection
A tooth that has had a root canal can be brittle. A crown spreads chewing force and shields it.
If biting hurts, call for an exam sooner rather than later.

A conservative middle path
Where a crown is too much, an onlay may be right. It covers only the damaged part of the biting surface.
We go with the lighter fix whenever it will last.
