What it is
A crown is made to fit and seated here, so a broken tooth is two trips down the road instead of four to Lubbock.
At Post Family Dentistry, we offer custom dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's function and appearance. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, provides precise, durable restorations for long-lasting results.
