Dear VB&K Patient,

We hope this letter finds you happy and healthy. We want to take a moment to remind you that our top priority is always your health, safety and well-being. As we fully reopen our practice, we do so with the same caution, highest standards and preparation for preventing the spread of infection that we always have and will continue to implement.

We are vigilant in monitoring and maintaining the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Dental Association for infection control related to COVID-19. We are confident that when we open our doors on April 27, 2020, our existing protocols go above and beyond those recommendations to keep you safe.

We are always committed to implementing safety protocol. In addition to our existing extensive measures, you should anticipate noticing the following protective efforts when you enter our dental clinic:

  • All patients answer a screening questionnaire. Appointments rescheduled if risk of patient transmission of illness, including COVID-19 has been determined.
  • Face shields will also be worn with masks and gloves by staff depending on procedure.
  • Thorough disinfection of office and waiting area. Wiping down touch screens and credit card machines after each use and regularly disinfecting bathrooms, furniture, doors and handles has always been implemented. No-touch hand sanitizer stations are also now available for staff and patient use.
  • Highest standards of disinfecting protocol in our exam rooms. Disposable plastic wrap for furniture changed between patients and all surfaces disinfected with a chemical germicide between each patient have always been common practice. Now increased ventilation has been added to remove aerosols.
  • Increased PPE for all staff who provide dental care. Gowns, face shields, and N95 masks have been added to our existing extensive protective gear.
  • Aerosol control through High Volume Evacuation (HVE) during dental procedures. We have an existing HVE Adapter which helps remove more than 90% of aerosols created during procedures. Air purifiers that completely cycle the air, three times every hour, have been added to operatories.

In addition to our efforts, we ask for your cooperation and support with the following temporary safety measures as we work through this ever-changing situation:

  • Maintain social distancing practices in our waiting room. Chairs will be six feet apart.
  • Wait in your car upon arrival (if waiting room is full) if possible. Give us a call to let us know you’ve arrived and we’ll notify you when we’re ready for you to come in.
  • Have your temperature taken.
  • Please do not bring friends or relatives who do not have a scheduled appointment if possible. Only scheduled patients will be allowed in the treatment areas. We understand if you are a caretaker or are assisting the disabled.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we all work towards maintaining the highest safety measures when you return to our practice. We promise to keep you updated through this dynamic situation. In the meantime, maintain good oral care and we look forward to making you smile soon!

Take Care and Stay Well,
Dr. J. Michael Krischke

Enjoy a New Outlook With a Smile Makeover in Crown Point

Sometimes a single cosmetic dental treatment is enough to give you the smile of your dreams. But if multiple issues affect your smile, you may need several of our services for a smile makeover in Crown Point. If so, our dentists will work with you to design a customized treatment plan to transform your appearance.

Life changing treatment

I think if you get a smile makeover, it could be life changing. I mean, maybe you're unhappy, maybe you don't smile. Maybe you avoid personal outings or just because you're just not happy with the way you look. Here we can straighten your teeth, we can replace your teeth, and we can give you the smile that you've always wanted.

In our office we can do simple things to improve your smile, or we can do complex things to improve your smile. It might be as easy as replacing a crown on the front that looks a little nicer. It might mean that we put some veneers on your front teeth that'll give you that movie star smile. It might mean that you haven't been to the dentist for ages and you have teeth that are broken, shifted, twisted, and we can do everything from straightening with orthodontics, replacing them with implants, and covering the front teeth with veneers, so you can go from something you're embarrassed by to something you're very proud of.

They will:

  • Discuss your smile expectations during a free cosmetic dentistry consultation
  • Assess you using X-rays and photographs
  • Create a plan that will produce the smile of your dreams
  • In some cases use wax models or digital simulations to give you a preview of your new smile

To schedule your complimentary consultation, call Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLC at 219-641-3422.

We’re Skilled in Lots of Smile Makeover Options

Smile Makeover at VB&K DDS, LLC

Sometimes we get patients in that haven't been in for years and years, and sometimes they can be embarrassed at the way their smile is. We can do just about anything here. We can take someone that might not have many teeth or might just have a lot of teeth that are in disrepair, and we can change the way their smile is. We can change their look, the way they feel about themselves really, very simply. It might mean we have to do a few fillings. It might mean that we might have to do some implants or we might have to do some crowns. It might even mean that we have to make a denture for them, but once we have that done and they are able to smile and they show teeth, you can tell from when they first come in to that day we deliver the final product how much of a change it's going to make in their life.

Our dentists have experience correcting many issues including crooked teeth and stained teeth. Among the cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments you may want to include in your makeover:

  • Dental crowns to completely cover damage such as cracks, breaks, and discoloration
  • Teeth whitening treatments to give your pearly whites a pearlier look
  • Orthodontics to get a beautifully straight smile
  • Tooth bonding to correct minor flaws in a single appointment
  • Dental veneers to conceal imperfections such as chips, cracks, and stains
  • Teeth contouring to eliminate flaws such as rough edges and to make short teeth appear longer
  • Snap-On Smile to hide flawed teeth with a removable arch of realistic teeth

If you want a younger-looking face to complement your smile, we can provide facial rejuvenation treatments to soften fine lines and wrinkles. For example, Juvéderm® minimizes lines and wrinkles around your nose and mouth.

Ready for a smile makeover in Crown Point? Call Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLC today at 219-641-3422 for a free consultation.
