Teeth wear down, crack and sometimes outgrow their old fillings. A crown surrounds the weakened tooth and keeps it working. Dr. Brittany Pierpont creates custom crowns at Pier Dental.
West Samoset patients get a clear explanation of why a crown is advised and what else could work.
Two visits, start to finish
At the first, we numb and shape the tooth, then record a digital impression with our TRIOS scanner. A temporary protects it until the lab finishes.
At the second, the permanent crown is fitted and checked.

Protecting a tooth after a root canal
Without its nerve, a tooth is more brittle. A crown guards against splitting.
Dr. Pierpont walks you through timing before treatment begins.

Inlays and onlays as a middle path
Where enough healthy tooth remains, a porcelain or composite inlay or onlay saves more of it than a full crown.
We favor the smaller option when it will hold.
