Fillings, Crowns & Bridges in Northampton

Is a Tooth Filling a Good Investment?

There are four different types of tooth fillings commonly available. A tooth filling is used to repair or restore a tooth that is damaged due to injury, decay or disease, or genetics. It can be a reliable solution to halting decay. Other types of dental procedures, such as dental caps or tooth bridges, are used to restore aesthetics. 

What Are Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridges?

A tooth crown will completely cover your tooth down to the gum line. A tooth bridge is an artificial tooth that’s anchored to adjacent teeth or to an implant, and its purpose is to replace a missing tooth. Please call our office in Northampton if you have additional questions about a tooth crown or need to schedule an appointment.
