Paul Ponte, D.D.S. in North Dartmouth has a few questions for you. Do you have a cracked or broken tooth? What about a tooth that's decayed too much to hold a filling? Did you know that if the crack or decay extends into your root, you will have an even worse problem on your hand? Dental crowns are a natural-looking and comfortable solution to cracked, broken, or excessively decayed teeth.
Because a crown fit by Dr. Ponte sits so snugly on the base of your gum line, it won't bother you at all. In fact, crowns, or caps made of metal or porcelain that completely cover and protect what remains of the natural tooth, are an extreme improvement when dealing with problematic teeth.
Dr. Paul Ponte can tell you if dental crowns are the cosmetic dentistry makeover solution best suited for you. Just call (855) 879-6670 or complete the online form to schedule an appointment. You won't even have to leave North Dartmouth! If you suffer from one or more completely missing teeth, he may also suggest dental bridges, another "fixed" dentistry solution that, like crowns, offer greater advantages than partial dentures or removable appliances.
Brush Your Teeth Daily!
For good oral health, brush your teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste!
How Old Is Your Toothbrush?
Replace your toothbrush every 3 or 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
A Healthy Diet Makes a Healthy Smile!
For healthy teeth and gums, eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Go easy on sugary treats!
