I’m Having a Hard Time Chewing

If you've stopped enjoying your favorite foods—not because of diet advice, but because chewing has become difficult—our restorative dental care in Crown Point can help you eat comfortably again.

Missing or damaged teeth can make mealtime frustrating and affect your confidence, but our team can restore both the function and beauty of your smile.

Restorative treatment will boost your confidence with a complete, healthy smile, help you speak clearly, and allow you to eat the foods you love without discomfort.

It also protects vulnerable teeth from harmful bacteria and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting out of place.

Call J. Michael Krischke DDS to schedule your free consultation and learn how restorative dentistry can renew your comfort and confidence. If you don't have insurance, ask about our Membership Plan—it covers preventive services and provides valuable discounts on restorative care.

You have several choices to replace missing teeth, including:

• Dental Bridges - A dental bridge can replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. We attach the bridge to adjacent teeth with dental crowns. We can also attach a bridge to dental implants. You won't have to remove a bridge for cleaning; just follow your usual brushing routine.
• Dental Implants - Embedded directly into your jawbone, dental implants provide a secure foundation for dental crowns, dental bridges, or dentures. They look, function, and feel like your natural teeth.
• Dentures - We can replace anywhere from a few missing teeth to an entire mouthful of teeth with dentures. To ensure dentures won't ever slip, we can attach them to dental implants.

Repair Chips, Breaks, & Other Dental Damage

Whether it's a cavity, a break, a crack, or other dental damage, we can restore your tooth and oral function so you can chew your food more easily. In addition to our tooth replacement options, our restorative solutions include:

• Tooth Fillings - We use tooth-colored composite fillings, never amalgam, to repair cavities.
• Dental Crowns - Since they completely cover your tooth, dental crowns can repair a wide variety of dental damage such as breaks, cracks, or severe decay. When attached to a dental implant, a crown can replace a missing tooth.
• Inlays and Onlays - We use these to make repairs that are too big for a tooth filling but not big enough for a dental crown.
• Root Canals - If the pulpy center of your tooth becomes infected, endangering your tooth, our dentists can save it with a root canal.
