Call (508) 996-3133
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.
A crown is a metal or porcelain cap that covers the problematic tooth completely. Dr. Ponte can fit crowns tightly at the base of a patient's gum and in order to protect what remains of the natural tooth.
Call (855) 881-2506 or fill out the online form to meet Dr. Paul Ponte and ask if dental crowns are your cosmetic dentistry makeover solution today. He may suggest bridges instead, which can permanently replaced one or more teeth. Either way, bridges or crowns, as "fixed" dentistry solutions offered right here in North Dartmouth, provide a vastly improved lifestyle compared to removable appliances or partial dentures.

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!
