A crown can save a tooth that is too damaged for a filling. At Pier Dental, Dr. Pierpont uses a TRIOS 3D scanner, so you skip the gagging impression trays.
Ruskin is roughly 19.7 miles away in a straight line, so we explain the schedule clearly before you start.
Why crowns are used
Cracks, big fillings and worn teeth all weaken a tooth. A crown protects what remains.
We show you why we recommend one.

Combined with a root canal
If the nerve is infected, we treat it first, then place a crown.
We explain each step and cost.

Inlays and onlays
These cover less than a full crown and may conserve more tooth.
They work for moderate damage.

About Ruskin
Ruskin’s tomato fields and river setting gave the town its early economy. A railroad connected it to the Seaboard Air Line in 1913.
We are family-owned and take time with each person. Our day shortens on Mondays (9 to 3) and Wednesdays (9 to 4); Tuesday and Thursday run 9 to 5, and Friday is by appointment.
Call (727) 363-6169 and have your tooth checked.
