Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that sits atop a tooth (hence the name), providing a protective cover and structural support. With the application of a dental crown, we can effectively repair a large cavity, seamlessly put a broken tooth back together, and even replace a missing tooth when paired with a dental implant for a more complete solution. These crowns are meticulously shaped to mimic the appearance, functionality, and even tactile feel of natural teeth, ensuring that any previous dental issues blend into the background. This allows for a beautifully restored smile that seems as if the dental problem never existed in the first place, enhancing both aesthetics and oral health.

Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings allow us to repair small cavities and slightly damaged teeth without altering their appearance, unlike traditional silver fillings. These are made of a composite resin material that comes in several natural shades, meaning we can perfectly match the restoration to a patient’s smile. This material also bonds directly to enamel, meaning we can place smaller, more conservative fillings that don’t require us to remove as much natural dental structure, making the filling stronger overall.

Dental Bridges
For patients missing a single tooth or even a few in a row, a dental bridge is a long-trusted method of replacement. Our dental office offers dental bridges that are anchored to two crowns placed on either side of the gap in a patient’s smile, making it literally “bridge” the space. With one, we can restore a patient’s bite, prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, and help them achieve their natural appearance at the same time.

Dental Accidents & Facial Trauma
Dental Accidents & Facial Trauma
Whether due to a sports-related injury, motor vehicle accident, or just a clumsy fall at home, broken and knocked out teeth are some of the most common dental emergencies our practice handles. We can reliably save severely damaged or completely dislodged teeth, just make sure you:
- Contact us as soon as you can.
- Try to recover as much of the tooth as possible.
- Gently rinse it, but do NOT dry it.
- Try to place the tooth back into its original socket until you can reach us.
- If this isn’t possible, put the tooth in a container of milk or saltwater. It must remain wet to keep it viable!

Dental Emergencies Due to Oral Care Neglect
Without a consistent oral hygiene routine, it’s very easy for a tooth to develop an infection that eventually turns into pain. If one of your teeth is hurting badly enough that you can’t function normally, take the following steps to get fast relief:
- Initially, rinse and gently floss around the tooth to dislodge anything that might be stuck and causing the pain (like a stray piece of food).
- If this doesn’t help, call Andover Family Dental.
- Before you can see us, a cold compress placed on the face or an OTC medication can help manage any discomfort.
