Restorative Dentistry

In Topeka, KS

Cavities are one of the most common oral diseases, so it's imperative we tackle them as soon as they begin to compromise the health and wellness of your teeth. When left untreated, they can cause serious discomfort and may require more invasive procedures to alleviate. Thanks to fillings, your dentist can halt the progression of tooth decay in a single visit. By stopping by for your regular 6-month cleaning and checkup, you can prevent new cavities from forming in the first place.

When several teeth are missing in a row, it can affect more than just your smile — it can impact your ability to chew comfortably, maintain proper oral health, and feel confident in everyday moments. Dental crowns and bridges provide a long-lasting solution by restoring strength, balance, and function to your bite. Because they are securely attached to your teeth, they stay firmly in place and won’t shift like removable options. Even better, this treatment typically doesn’t require surgery, allowing you to restore your smile and get back to daily life with minimal downtime.

Transform your smile—and your life—with dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Imagine enjoying the simple things again: biting into a crisp apple, laughing with friends, or speaking with total confidence, all without worrying about your teeth. Our skilled team blends compassionate care with advanced technology to make your implant experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Dental implants offer a permanent, seamless solution that integrates naturally with your existing teeth, so you can stop hiding your smile and reclaim the confidence you deserve.

Missing just a few teeth? Partial dentures may be the right choice for you. Partial dentures look natural, are removable, and can be a great solution to restoring the function of your teeth and jaw. Make the first step in restoring your smile by booking a consultation.

For patients who feel anxious about dental treatment, we offer oral conscious sedation to help create a more relaxed and comfortable experience. This option involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment, allowing you to remain awake but deeply at ease throughout your procedure. Many patients feel calm, drowsy, and less aware of time, making treatment feel quicker and more manageable. With careful monitoring and a focus on safety, our team ensures you feel supported every step of the way so you can receive the care you need with greater confidence and comfort.

No one wants to deal with a broken, cracked, or badly decayed tooth. It’s painful, stressful, and disruptive — but same-day crowns make restoring your smile fast and convenient. With this technology, you can skip temporary restorations and avoid the long wait for a traditional crown. Each same-day crown is custom-crafted from durable, high-quality materials and carefully color-matched to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth. Thanks to our advanced digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology, the entire process takes two hours or less, so you can walk out with a fully restored smile the very same day.

Extractions are always a last resort because preserving your smile is our top priority. However, sometimes a problematic tooth causes more harm than good. In these cases, your dentist may recommend an extraction to restore your oral health. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, decayed or damaged teeth can be safely removed to relieve discomfort or make space for dental implants, a bridge, or another type of tooth replacement.

Maryland dental bridges are a type of dental restoration that can help fill in gaps left by missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, Maryland bridges are made of a metal framework with a porcelain or resin tooth attached to it. This framework is bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth, which means that the Maryland bridge doesn't require the use of dental crowns to hold it in place. The result is a more conservative and less invasive treatment option that can still provide a strong, durable solution for missing teeth. Maryland bridges are often used in situations where a patient is missing one or two teeth in a row, and can be a great alternative to dental implants or traditional bridges.

Dentures are a removable, affordable solution that can complete your smile after missing one or all of your natural teeth. To ensure a natural look and feel, most dentures are made of a combination of acrylic and metal and are custom-crafted for a comfortable fit. Looking to see if dentures are right for you? Schedule a consultation to find out if a set of full or partial dentures can restore your bite. It's about time you got back to living your life with a smile.

Tired of your dentures slipping and sliding around in your mouth? Implant-retained dentures, also called overdentures or snap-on dentures, can replace all of your teeth, just like traditional dentures. However, instead of relying on suction or adhesive, they are secured in place with several dental implants. These removable appliances make it easy to keep up with your oral hygiene, and are made from a combination of acrylic and metal materials for enhanced durability.

Dental crowns restore damaged teeth by covering and protecting what remains of your natural tooth. When you have a cracked or broken tooth, these custom caps not only shield the root but also improve how your teeth work together when you bite. If you've had a root canal or dental implant, your dentist will typically recommend a crown to strengthen the treated tooth. With several material options available, crowns help both your dental health and appearance, giving you back a smile you can feel good about.

There's no need to keep covering up your mouth if a missing tooth is leaving a gap in your smile. With a dental bridge, the space left behind by one, or several, missing teeth can be permanently covered. The bridge is attached to your teeth on either side of the gap, so it won't slide around when you eat or speak. Your bridge also won't stand out from the rest of your smile — it can be color-matched to blend with your other teeth. Keep your teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of bone loss and problems with your bite by asking your dentist about a bridge. Schedule a consultation today to see if a dental bridge can help you complete your smile!

Lindsay Michael Dentistry, we focus on exposure and bonding procedures to assist with the proper eruption of impacted teeth—most commonly canines—that haven’t emerged on their own. Working closely with your orthodontist, our team gently uncovers the impacted tooth and bonds a small bracket or chain to help guide it into its correct position. This procedure is commonly recommended during orthodontic treatment and plays a key role in creating a healthy, aligned smile. With a focus on precision, comfort, and collaboration, we ensure your experience is smooth and stress-free from consultation to recovery.
