Our Goal Is To Preserve Your Natural Teeth
Just because a tooth is damaged or diseased doesn’t mean it needs to be removed. The dentists, Drs. Noles, Estes, and Steinhauer at Noles Family Dental have experience creating treatment plans that can repair and restore your natural teeth.
Our dentists may recommend the following procedures when creating an individualized restorative dental treatment plan for you:
Restorative Dental Care Includes Dental Surgery and Tooth Extractions
Our preference is to help our patients save their natural teeth. Unfortunately, sometimes the tooth or teeth are so damaged or weakened that restoration and repairing them is no longer an option.
When we can’t save your natural teeth, our dentists will help you determine the best option for dental surgery and tooth extraction. We can even discuss how you can restore your smile after dental surgery or extractions using other restorative dental care, such as bridges, crowns or dental implants.

Restorative Frequently Asked Questions
Restore your smile and oral health with customized restorative dentistry services. At Noles Family Dental in Greensburg, Indiana, our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible—but when restoration isn’t an option, we offer a range of solutions to rebuild form and function. Below are frequently asked questions about our restorative care.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth, improving both function and appearance. Services include fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures, dental implants, implant-supported dentures, inlays/onlays, and sinus lifts.
Small cavities are best treated with fillings, while moderate damage may require inlays or onlays. These are custom-made restorations placed in two visits. Inlays fill the center of a tooth; onlays cover one or more cusps.
If decay reaches the tooth pulp or root, a root canal removes infected tissue, cleans the canals, and seals them, often followed by a crown to restore strength. It stops pain and preserves the tooth.
Modern dental root canal treatment is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Our team uses a local anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients report relief from the pain caused by the infected tooth after treatment.
At Noles Family Dental, you have multiple options to replace one or more missing teeth:
Bridges use crowns or implants to span gaps, lasting 5–15 years with good care
Dentures can be full or partial, custom-crafted, and affordable.
Implant-supported dentures combine implants with overdentures to provide enhanced stability, eliminating the need for adhesives and allowing for natural function.
The lifespan of restorations depends on the type of treatment and your oral care habits. Fillings can last several years, while crowns, dental bridges, and dentures often last a decade or more with proper care. Nightguards and regular checkups help extend their longevity.
A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged to be saved, whether due to severe decay, trauma, or infection. Removing a problematic tooth can relieve pain and prevent further complications. After an extraction, we’ll discuss replacement options, such as bridges or dentures, to restore your smile.
