When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a crown restores shape and strength. Dr. Brittany Pierpont provides crowns for Safety Harbor patients at her St. Pete Beach office.
She chooses porcelain, ceramic or metal based on where the tooth sits and how you chew.
Digital impressions
Our TRIOS scanner replaces the gooey trays many people dread, and it records fine detail of the prepared tooth.
A temporary crown protects the tooth until your permanent one arrives.

Crown plus root canal
If the nerve is infected, root canal therapy comes first. A crown afterward guards the weakened tooth.
The sequence is planned in advance and explained in simple terms.

Inlays and onlays
These cover just the damaged cusp or surface. They keep more of the original tooth than a crown does.
We opt for the least invasive restoration that will hold up.

About Safety Harbor
Safety Harbor was settled in 1823, and grapefruit growing in Florida is credited to Count Odet Philippe, who homesteaded the area. A crown, by comparison, is a modest piece of craft.
Crown care takes two visits. We are about 17 miles from Safety Harbor in a straight line, so we try to keep trips efficient, and we offer free second opinions.
Ask about a crown at (727) 363-6169. We will review options and payment before any work begins.
