How
do I go about it? YES we are accepting new patients, and then to answer all your other questions and concerns in a simple, straight-forward way. In our parents’ or grandparent’s day no one expected teeth to last a lifetime. Dentures or partial dentures were commonly accepted as routine, even inevitable. All that has changed today. With proper care and maintenance, teeth do last a lifetime and we have patients in their 70s, 80s, and 90s with their own teeth. While there was a time when patients might request, Clean them, patch that broken tooth, and pull the bad tooth in back,: today’s dentistry proceeds in an organized, systematic way to gradually restore the mouth one section at a time. Then, regular cleanings and fluoride help keep your teeth and gums in optimum shape. Children and younger patients, with the advantage of sealants, fluoride, water analysis, supplements and regular cleaning often NEVER develop any cavities. And for older patients who feel “my teeth are too far gone,” there are crowns, bridges, implants, and veneers that can restore the mouth to look and function even better than the original. Call us at (765) 724-7777. One of our receptionists will schedule you for a detailed examination. We’ll follow that up with a consultation appointment where we’ll tell you EVERYTHING that IDEALLY needs to be done, who much it will cost, and methods of payment available. Then YOU can decide what treatment is appropriate for you. Yes. We see children at age 3,and begin cleaning their teeth at ages 4-5. If they need extensive work, we may send them to a children’s dentist, but usually that is not necessary. What Type of Work Does Dr. Steele Do? Dr. Steele DDS is a family-oriented practice, which can handle all your routine dental needs such as cleanings, gum treatments, and fillings. For patients who need more extensive work, Dr. Steele is well trained in endodontics, crown and bridge, implant prosthetics, implant dentures, TMJ therapy and reconstructive dentistry. He also performs the latest cosmetic dentistry, including laminate veneers, invisible fillings, and bonding. His emphasis has always been on restoring the whole mouth to the best dental health possible. Yes. We perform general practice orthodontics, starting treatment as early as age 6. But, we also have adult orthodontic patients, some in their 60s. We use removable appliances and silver or clear braces. I’m
Really Scared… Yes. Painful dental procedures are simply a part of the past. New equipment and high speed handpieces allow us to perform work quickly, quietly, and painlessly. New anesthetic techniques are nearly painless, and pre-medication can be prescribed to ease anxiety. Just tell us your fears – Dr. Steele and his staff will do everything possible to help you get over them. Regular hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We work an occasional Wednesday. If you are one of our regular patients and have emergency problems after office hours, Dr Steele will see you. What
