If you're going to stop gum disease in its tracks, you're going to need a powerful weapon. At Stutler Dental we offer our patients a powerhouse antibiotic named ARESTIN™. Comprised of invisible microspheres, this antibiotic is applied directly to the site of infection in a time-released compound that continually works to kill the bacteria. Not only does it do the job, it is completely painless. Stutler Dental Brad Stutler, DDS 1460 North Green Street, Suite 300 Brownsburg, IN 46112 (317) 225-4520 Website:StutlerDental.com
Teeth can become damaged – worn down or broken beyond the point where a routine filling will be able to reconstruct the tooth. At this point, a crown is the restorative solution. A crown will not only save the tooth, but in many cases it will make the tooth stronger than before the damage occurred. We use the highest quality materials available for making our crowns, and the end result is so natural, you won't be able to tell it isn't a real tooth.

Denture wearers, mini implants are your solution if you were told insufficient bone density prevented you from becoming a candidate for implants. These small miracles can be installed pain-free, in a single visit. They will anchor your dentures and relieve you of all the problems of slipping, tilting, and trapped food. That means the same day, you can eat whatever you like. We are dedicated to helping you smile more!

If you're being treated for sleep apnea because you snore, fall asleep throughout the day, or have irregular breathing while you sleep, you may already be employing the CPAP device. Utilizing a mask worn over the nose and mouth, this machine provides a continual flow of air into a person's lungs while they sleep. Although it helps control the problems created by sleep apnea, it is bulky and frustrating to wear. As a result, patients stop wearing it. If you have become disillusioned with your CPAP, we have a non-bulky alternative that is easy to insert and remove, packs lightly for travel, cleans easily, and has a success rate in over 90% of patients who use it. It looks like an orthodontic retainer, a small, acrylic device that slides over your upper and lower teeth. It works by realigning your jaw and tongue to permit air to flow into and out of your lungs. If you have set your CPAP machine aside, let us explain how this new device could help you.

We've always been your first choice for your child's routine dental care. But do you know that we also have extensive orthodontics training? Correcting teeth and jaw disharmony early in life produces the best results for your child for the least amount of money. Early treatment by a trained dentist can save thousands of dollars as opposed to seeing a specialist later, and it can actually prevent unnecessary extractions of permanent teeth in their teen years. We can address early crowding of their front teeth, crossbites in their back teeth, and a mismatch of their upper and lower jaws. These treatments normally take less than 6 to 18 months and occur before they get to their teenage stage. For all of our patients who want to correct crooked teeth or bite issues, we use the latest in modern techniques. These comfortable and attractive options are a huge improvement over traditional metal braces. You no longer have to spend 3 - 5 years in treatment! The time needed for treatment will differ from person to person but usually can be completed in two years or less. For cost-effective and time-tested results, traditional metal braces may be the way to go.

Dental Care in Complete Comfort with Sedation Dentistry
With conscious sedation dentistry, all of our patients can be at ease during their treatments – free from fear and anxiety. The pills you'll take orally 90 minutes before your appointment make all the difference. As you sit in our dental chair, you'll become more relaxed until you achieve a level of sedation that creates a complete sense of peace. However, you'll still be conscious and able to respond to any questions. You won't be completely "out" as you would be for surgery. Some patients become anxious that they will fall into an unconscious state. They fear losing control. With conscious sedation you are still capable of perceiving everything going on around you. Only your sense of panic is eliminated. Conscious sedation dentistry also works extremely well even for those who are strongly resistant to anesthesia and can't get numb. It bears noting that if you don't have time in your hectic schedule for repeat dental appointments, conscious sedation dentistry allows us to perform more work in a single visit.
We also offer nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, as a lighter sedation option for some patients. Stutler Dental Brad Stutler, DDS 1460 North Green Street, Suite 300 Brownsburg, IN 46112 (317) 225-4520 Website:StutlerDental.com
In the past, having a tooth repaired with a crown only occurred in stages. First, there was the initial appointment for the temporary and casting impressions. Then there was a delay while an out of town lab made the permanent crown. Then a second, follow-up appointment took place for your dentist to place the crown. If it didn't fit correctly, then the entire process started all over again.
What a difference modern technology makes! Instead of a two-week timeframe, in just a couple of hours your new, permanent crown will be ready. With CEREC™ computer-aided design and milling, the fit will be perfect, the crown will be durable, and the beautiful appearance will simulate the look of a natural tooth. Our patients love this new technique for fitting and placing crowns.
The process is simple. With a special camera, a detailed image is captured and displayed on our computer screen. We then design the restoration and CEREC creates the crown. Next, we insert and bond the restoration to your tooth. Like our other patients, you will be delighted with how easy this is!

With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

I don't have cavities so I can't have gum disease Being cavity-free doesn’t ensure you are in the clear where gum disease is concerned. That’s because gum disease is painless and many people have no idea they have it. Gums that bleed easily or are red, swollen or tender is a sign of gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease and the only stage that is reversible. When caught early gingivitis can usually be eliminated by a professional cleaning at the dental office, followed by daily brushing and flossing.

The best way to find out why a tooth is sensitive is to have dental professional examine you. They can look for the signs of dentin exposure, and run tests to determine what the true cause of the sensitivity is. Sometimes, the sensitivity is due to a cavity or gum disease ñ these can be treated to address the sensitivity. Other times, the cause of the sensitivity is because the enamel has been lost through abrasion or erosion, or the gums have receded, causing the roots to be exposed. What Can Be Done? If the sensitivity is due to a cavity, a restoration can be placed. If gum disease is the cause, the dental professional can perform a thorough cleaning of the area. However, if the cause is from dentin being exposed, then there are a number of professional and at home treatments that can be used to reduce the sensitivity. In Office Procedures:
Fluoride varnish can be applied to exposed areas, strengthening the enamel and dentin
Fluoride foam or gel can be placed into a mouth tray; you then sit with this in your mouth for 3-5 minutes, providing the teeth with a high concentration of fluoride to strengthen the areas
Bonding agent, the material used to stick tooth colored restorations to teeth, can be used to seal the dentin surface and provide a barrier to the stimuli that cause sensitivity
At Home:
Use a very soft bristle tooth brush, with low abrasive tooth paste
Brush correctly and do not over brush
Use a tooth paste specially formulated to soothe the nerve endings in the tooth
Use a high concentration fluoride toothpaste (given to you by the dental professional) to strengthen the tooth surface
There are a number of treatments available, and your dental professional can help you find those that will work best, depending on your situation. Always seek a dental professional's help - do not try to diagnose this problem yourself. It may be the sign of something more serious, and only a dental professional can tell you what it really is.
