About Us

• The Downie Family Dentistry Practice features a talented team of dentists and hygienists. We serve the public with a wide range of hours (appointment times can range from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm). Call the office Monday-Thursday for more information about scheduling! During the first visit, which takes about 90 minutes, we shape the tooth, take an impression, and fit you with a temporary crown while the impression goes to our lab for fabrication. At the second visit, two weeks later, we remove the temporary crown and place the new one, usually in less than 45 minutes. Take a bigger bite out of life with composite fillings, root canal treatment, or dentures from Downie Family Dentistry in New Haven, Indiana. Whether you need help for serious tooth decay or comprehensive tooth replacement, trust our dental clinic to help you start smiling again. The Root of the Problem When tooth decay or a cavity results in an infected oral nerve, it generally requires a root canal to preserve the tooth and avoid extraction. The procedure involves cleaning the interior of the root including the blood supply and nerve, while filling it with an inactive material. After the procedure, we apply a crown to stabilize the tooth. Cavity Correction When you have a cavity, we offer tooth-colored resin, or composite fillings, for a natural, aesthetic appearance. Should you prefer a standard amalgam or silver filling, our team gives you the right treatment to meet your needs. Depending on the tooth itself and how many surfaces are affected, the process takes anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Denture Solutions No one needs to know you have false teeth when you choose our full or partial dentures. Perfect for replacing up to 15 missing teeth, we offer metal, flexible, or acrylic partial devices for your convenience. When all of your top and bottom teeth need to be replaced, we provide a full set of dentures, depending on if you need tooth extraction. In less than 90 minutes, you leave with a complete set of quality dentures, and you can schedule a follow-up visit anytime you need an adjustment. Whiter Teeth to Go Whiten your teeth at home with our custom bleach trays. By taking an impression of your upper and lower teeth, we create bleaching trays just for you in about one to four days. As long as you experience no sensitivity, the trays are yours to use as long as you like.
