A crown is a durable cover for a tooth that cannot manage alone. It restores shape, strength and appearance so you can eat without worry.
Dr. Brittany Pierpont creates crowns at Pier Dental for Tarpon Springs patients and chooses the material to suit the tooth.
What happens at each visit
We numb and shape the tooth, scan it with our TRIOS scanner and place a temporary. The permanent crown is fitted once it is back from the lab.
We check your bite before you leave.

After root canal treatment
The nerve is gone, so the tooth is more brittle. A crown guards it.
This pairing is routine and usually well tolerated.

Partial coverage options
An inlay or onlay may be enough for moderate damage. They conserve healthy tooth.
We choose the smallest effective repair.

About Tarpon Springs
Tarpon Springs built a major sponge industry in the early 1900s. A trade built on skilled hands suits crowns, which are made one tooth at a time.
The distance from Tarpon Springs to our office is about 27 miles in a straight line. We plan crown visits carefully to limit your travel.
Call (727) 363-6169 if a tooth is cracked or sore. Ask about same-day emergency care if you are in pain.
