Fillings, crowns & bridges in West Springfield

What’s the Purpose of a Tooth Filling?

When a tooth has been damaged due to traumatic injury, decay, disease, or a hereditary condition, a filling can help prevent additional deterioration and restore functionality to the tooth. It can also provide aesthetic appeal and may be simpler to install than other applications, such as a tooth crown. If you need tooth fillings in West Springfield, call our office for a consultation and let us help restore your beautiful smile.

What’s the Purpose of Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridges?

A tooth crown can cover one or more teeth that may be too damaged to accept a tooth filling. Dental crowns, also called dental caps, cover the entire tooth down to the gum line. A tooth bridge is used to replace a missing tooth and help maintain the structural integrity of the jaw. A bridge is anchored to adjacent teeth or to a dental implant in order to maintain stability. Call our office in West Springfield for more information on dental crowns and tooth bridges.
