Doctor Chris Miller Talks about Restorative Dentistry

Missing or damaged teeth, a lot of times people, the first thing I would help them with is saying, it's okay. I think a lot of people will come in with a lot of fear or shame or fearing that they're gonna be judged and then feeling shame, you know, I understand, I know where that comes from. When we look at smiles around, it's one of the first things people notice, right? I think I saw one ad for another dental office and there was a family there and the guy was missing his eyebrows and he was missing his tooth, but everybody noticed he was missing his tooth, but nobody noticed he was missing his eyebrows, right? So, the damaged teeth, missing teeth, that it's a big difference maker on people's, not only their aesthetic, but their confidence, some people anxiety, some people depression, so it's a big deal and then they come in and they have to trust us, like they have to come in and they give over this, wow, and they give up control and I know that and I'm not, I'm not oblivious to that.

I know that they're giving up control for us to be in the chair and to help them. That's the first thing I can tell them to experience, is that they're gonna come in, they're not gonna be judged, but when we come in and we're talking about replacing missing or damaged teeth, they have options. So, we can talk about the options, whether it be something removable, something fixed in place, removable being like some sort of denture, fixed in place would be like a bridge or an implant or if we're just repairing teeth, that could be an inlay, an onlay, veneer, crown, there's a lot of different options or it could even just be bonding.

Dr. Studebaker is amazing at bonding. I do really well at bonding, but there are a lot of artistic touches that we can do that just will, if it's just looks, where we can spruce up the smile, but if it's really that something functional, we love to do that because now it's not just you chewing on one side, you can chew on everywhere, you can chew left and right and you can chew in the front, but yeah, replacing teeth is something that is not just something functional, but it's also something that's going to help confidence boost and function too.

Reclaim Your Bite With Restorative Care

At Renew Dental Arts, our team takes a proactive and comprehensive approach to dental care. Rather than simply treating symptoms, your dentist will focus on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your dental problems.

If any issues are detected, your dentist will use advanced technology, such as digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3-D cone beam imaging (CBCT), to make precise diagnoses.

You'll also benefit from other state-of-the-art technology, like our 3-D printing technology, which creates CEREC crowns and other restorations in a single visit.

Because restorative care can seem intimidating, we offer a variety of anxiety-relief methods to ensure your comfort throughout your visit.

From cozy blankets to pillows and stress balls, our office is designed with your relaxation in mind. For those who need extra support, you can opt for oral sedation.

You'll benefit from these restorative dental services:

  • Tooth Fillings - Restore decayed or damaged teeth with tooth-colored composite fillings. These fillings blend with your smile and help you avoid further damage.
  • Dental Crowns - Protect and strengthen weakened or decayed teeth with custom-made e-max crowns. Your dentist creates them in-house. This ensures a precise fit and eliminates the need for multiple visits.
  • Inlays and Onlays - As part of our commitment to conservative dentistry, we sometimes use these partial crowns instead of full crowns for tooth repair.
  • Dental Bridges - Replace one or more missing teeth with a dental bridge anchored to regular teeth or to dental implants. With implants, you avoid having to alter healthy teeth for the procedure.
  • Dentures - You can receive a partial denture to replace a few missing teeth. You can also replace a full set of teeth with traditional or implant dentures.
  • Root Canals - Save severely damaged or infected teeth from extraction with a root canal. While we refer complex cases to a specialist, your dentist can perform many root canals in-house.

Rebuild your dental health with the help of your restorative dentist in Indianapolis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry

What does restorative dentistry include?

If your tooth is damaged due to decay, infection, injury, or trauma, restorative dentistry can repair it to avoid further harm or extraction. This type of care includes procedures that reduce pain and help you use your teeth normally, like fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.

What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?

Taking care of your oral health is about more than just brushing and flossing. Sometimes dental problems, such as cavities, infections, or injuries, occur and require restorative treatments. These treatments help relieve pain, restore your teeth's function, and protect your mouth's health. Restorative dentistry focuses on fixing cavities, infections, injuries, and tooth loss to keep your teeth working well and your mouth healthy.

What is the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on fixing broken or missing teeth, while cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the appearance of healthy teeth. These two types of dentistry sometimes overlap because fixing teeth can also improve how your smile looks, and some cosmetic treatments like tooth bonding can help repair minor damage.

I am SO glad I found Renew Dental Arts! My previous experience with the dentist was fine but nothing special. Dr Studebaker has amazing bedside manner, took extra care and time to diagnose my tooth issue, and carried out the procedure with professionalism, integrity, and kindness. I feel so well taken care of here. Also, I really appreciate the quantitative way of discussing ways to improve dental hygiene. Instead of vague "brush and floss!" the techs use special gel to show you where plaque builds up and they actually treat the gingivitis. I'm in my 30s and feel like I actually understand how to take care of my teeth for the first time thanks to Renew Dental Arts.
