When a tooth is cracked or mostly filling, a crown can hold it together. Dr. Pierpont explains why one is recommended and what happens if you wait.
We also consider lesser repairs, because the best crown is sometimes no crown at all.
What the crown does
It caps the visible part of the tooth and restores strength and shape. Color and material are chosen to match neighboring teeth.
A well-fitted crown can last many years with good care.

Onlays as a middle step
Where only part of a tooth is damaged, an onlay can cover just that area. More natural tooth is kept.
Your exam tells us if you are a candidate.

Saving a tooth with infection
A root canal removes infected tissue and ends the pain. The tooth is then capped for protection.
We handle both parts in a planned sequence.
