Teeth that are cracked, worn down or full of old filling often need more than another patch. A crown reinforces the entire tooth.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont makes crowns for Palm Harbor patients in the St. Pete Beach office, with materials selected for strength and appearance.
Scan, temporary, final
The TRIOS scanner records the shaped tooth digitally. You wear a temporary crown while the permanent one is made.
At the second visit we bond it and refine the bite.

Root canal and crown together
When a nerve is infected, the root canal ends the pain and the crown preserves the tooth.
We lay out the order of treatment in advance.

Onlays for moderate damage
An onlay covers just the damaged chewing surface. It keeps more of your tooth than a crown would.
We prefer it when the tooth allows.

About Palm Harbor
Palm Harbor’s historic downtown sits between Tampa Road and Alt. U.S. 19, and has a handful of historic buildings. It has stayed an unincorporated community, even after a 2009 incorporation bill died in committee.
The straight-line distance to our office is about 23.3 miles. We arrange crown visits to keep the number of trips low.
Call (727) 363-6169 if a tooth is cracked or hurting. Ask about a same-day emergency appointment.
