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

Repair Damaged Teeth With the Help of Our Crown Point Restorative Dentist

Life can do a real number of your teeth, causing dental damage that can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. In addition to impairing your smile’s appearance, damaged or missing teeth can affect its functionality too. You might find it tough to chew certain foods or speak clearly. Fortunately, we can repair your smile with restorative dentistry in Crown Point.

Great options for restoration

We can help people with missing or damaged teeth very easily. It might mean something as simple as a filling or a bonding to repair a broken or chipped tooth. It might mean we crown a tooth to give it a more lifelike appearance. It might mean that we put an implant in to replace the tooth that's not there. It might mean that we do some bridges that will replace several missing teeth and make the smile look more natural and be more pleasing to the patient.

If we have a damaged tooth or if we have missing teeth, it can lead to problems, whether it be health problems or just functional problems. To leave a tooth that's damaged, it may lead to further damage. It may lead to pain. It might lead to an infection. Leaving a space open might lead to shifting of teeth, chipping of teeth and just not being able to restore that properly later on. So it's important to take care of missing teeth and it's important to take care of teeth that are damaged.

Our restorative dentists can:

  • Mend cavities and remove decay without a drill
  • Replace missing teeth
  • Fix issues like cracks, breaks, and severe decay
  • Save a tooth that has become infected
  • Relieve pain caused by dental damage
  • Make your smile fully functional again

We’ll return your teeth to optimal health. Call Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLC at 219-641-3422 for a free restorative dentistry consultation.

Restorative Dentistry Fixes Your Dental Damage

Here are some common dental problems along with the restorative dentistry services that Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLC use to remedy them:

  • Cavities – Composite tooth fillings blend seamlessly with your smile. We don’t even need a drill to repair small cavities with them. Instead, we use air pressure to quickly and painlessly remove decay. Most patients don’t even require anesthesia! For larger cavities, we can place tooth-colored inlays or onlays.
  • Tooth Infection – Our dentists remove infected pulp from the inner “canal” of your infected tooth during a root canal procedure, then fill it with an inert material. We usually seal the tooth with a dental crown to protect it from further damage.
  • Breaks or Cracks – We use dental crowns made of high-quality zirconia to fix major dental damage, including cracks, breaks, and severe decay. Crowns can also conceal cosmetic flaws like misshapen or discolored teeth.

Replace Missing Teeth With Restorative Dental Treatments

Restorative Dentistry in Crown Point IN at Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLCOur dentists also offer multiple options to replace missing teeth. They include:

  • Dental Implants – Replace any number of teeth by restoring implants with dentures, dental bridges, or dental crowns. One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is how they help prevent bone loss. A restoration attached to an implant also offers nearly as much biting power as a natural tooth.
  • Dentures – This restoration offers an affordable way to replace several missing teeth or a whole mouthful of missing teeth. We even offer immediate dentures that you can wear while you wait for your final dentures to be fabricated.
  • Dental Bridges – A bridge can replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth. Some people find a bridge more convenient than dentures since it doesn’t need to be removed for cleaning.

To find out more about restorative dentistry in Crown Point, call Van Buskirk & Krischke DDS, LLC at 219-641-3422. You can also book a visit using our online form.
