At Hardin Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we understand the importance of a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile. Restorative dentistry is our way of helping you achieve just that. Whether you’re dealing with damaged teeth, missing teeth, or gum issues, our restorative dental services are designed to bring back your smile’s natural beauty and function.
Why Get Restorative Care?
It’s great news that the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and an increase in patient awareness. However, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and breakage and sometimes need to be restored back to health. Through improved techniques and modern technology, we are now able to offer more options for restoring a tooth back to its normal shape, appearance and function.
Should your teeth ever require a restorative treatment, you can rest assured knowing we will always discuss with you the available options, and recommend what we believe to be the most comfortable and least invasive treatment. Providing you with excellent care is our number one priority when creating your beautiful smile.
Reasons for restorative dentistry:
- Enhance your smile.
- Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.
- Improve or correct an improper bite.
- Prevent the loss of a tooth.
- Relieve dental pain.
- Repair damaged and decayed teeth.
- Replace missing teeth.
- Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.
- Restore normal eating and chewing.
Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and treating dental issues to restore the health and function of your teeth and gums. It involves treatments that repair damaged teeth, replace missing ones, and address gum problems. We’re here to ensure that your mouth is healthy, functional, and looks great.
We offer a comprehensive range of restorative dentistry treatments in Indianapolis, IN tailored to meet your specific needs:
- Dental Crowns: If you have a damaged or weakened tooth, a dental crown can help. A crown is a cap placed over the tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. It not only protects the tooth but also enhances its appearance.
- Dental Bridges: Missing teeth can affect your smile and oral health. A dental bridge fills the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth in between, restoring your smile and maintaining the shape of your face.
- Dentures and Partials: Dentures offer a great solution for those who have lost several teeth. These removable appliances replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, providing a natural look and feel.
- Dental Implants: Dental implants are a durable and permanent solution for missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a root for a replacement tooth or bridge.
- TMJ Treatment: If you experience jaw pain or discomfort, you might benefit from TMJ treatment. TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the jaw joint and muscles. Our team can help alleviate pain and improve jaw function through various treatments.
- Periodontal Disease Treatment: Healthy gums are essential for a healthy mouth. Our gum disease treatments focus on cleaning and caring for your gums, preventing further damage, and promoting oral health.

Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
