Dental Implants and Implant Dentures
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with your bone (a process called osseointegration), it serves as a stable base for a single crown, bridge, or even full-arch restoration. Implants are ideal for replacing one or a few missing teeth and are known for their strength, durability, and natural appearance.
Implant dentures, on the other hand, are dentures that attach to dental implants for added security and stability. Instead of relying on suction or adhesives, implant dentures "snap" into place on a few strategically placed implants—typically 2 to 6 per arch. These dentures can be removable or fixed and are a game-changer for patients who are tired of loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures.
Both options help preserve jawbone density and prevent the sunken facial appearance often caused by tooth loss. They also improve your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
Call Our Implant Dentists in Fortville and Westfield, IN
At Harmony Dentistry, we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and recommend the best option for your needs. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or need a full-mouth solution, dental implants and implant dentures in Fortville and Westfield, IN, can restore both function and confidence to your smile for the long haul.
Full Mouth Reconstruction
Absolutely! Our team and many of our patients agree that full mouth reconstruction is one of the most life-changing investments you can make in your health, comfort, and confidence. If you’ve been living with missing teeth, worn-down enamel, chronic pain, or dental problems that make eating or speaking difficult, this comprehensive approach offers a fresh start.
By combining restorative and cosmetic treatments, full mouth reconstruction addresses your entire oral health system. You’ll be able to chew your favorite foods again, speak clearly without discomfort, and enjoy everyday activities without feeling self-conscious about your smile. Many of our patients say they not only feel better physically, but experience a dramatic boost in their emotional well-being too.
Plus, restoring your bite and tooth structure can help prevent further wear, jaw issues, and bone loss down the line—making full mouth reconstruction a smart long-term solution, not just a cosmetic fix.
At Harmony Dentistry, we tailor every treatment plan to fit your needs, your lifestyle, and your goals. We’ll walk with you every step of the way, using the latest technology and a gentle approach to deliver results you’ll love.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a long-lasting cosmetic solution, but they aren’t considered permanent in the sense that they last forever. With good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, veneers typically last between 10 to 15 years, sometimes even longer. Their durability depends on factors like your bite, lifestyle habits, and how well you care for your teeth. Avoiding things like nail-biting, chewing ice, or using your teeth as tools can help extend the life of your veneers.
During the veneer process, we remove a thin layer of enamel from the front surface of your teeth to create space for the veneer and ensure a seamless fit. Because of this, the procedure is irreversible—once you get veneers, you’ll always need some type of restoration on those teeth going forward.
That said, most patients feel the long-term benefits are absolutely worth it. Veneers offer a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile, and they require very little maintenance beyond daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings.
Porcelain Veneers in Fortville and Westfield, IN
If you’re considering porcelain veneers, our team at Harmony Dentistry will walk you through every detail and help you decide if veneers are the right fit for your smile goals and lifestyle. We’re here to help you love your smile for years to come!
Same-Day Crowns
Yes! Same-day crowns are crafted from high-quality, durable ceramic that’s designed to withstand the daily wear and tear of chewing, biting, and smiling—just like traditional lab-made crowns. At Harmony Dentistry, we use advanced CEREC technology to mill your crown from a single block of ceramic, which ensures both strength and precision. The result is a restoration that not only looks beautiful but also performs reliably over time.
With good, consistent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, same-day crowns can last 10 to 15 years or more, depending on your bite and habits. They’re an excellent long-term solution for restoring teeth that are cracked, worn down, or structurally compromised.
In addition to their durability, same-day crowns are custom-designed using digital imaging to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. That means your dental crown will be very strong and blend in seamlessly with your smile.
For patients looking for fast results without compromising on quality, same-day crowns are a game-changer. You’ll skip the temporary crown, avoid a second appointment, and leave our office with a fully restored tooth, all in a single visit.
Same-Day Dental Crowns in Fortville and Westfield, IN
If you’re considering same-day crowns, Harmony Dentistry is here to provide expert care and long-lasting results you can trust.
Sedation Dentistry
Absolutely! When performed by trained professionals like our team at Harmony Dentistry, sedation dentistry is a very safe and effective way to make dental care more comfortable. We take every precaution to ensure your safety throughout the entire process. Before any sedation is administered, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and overall health. This helps us choose the sedation method that’s best suited for your individual needs and ensures that there are no contraindications.
We offer multiple levels of sedation—from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia—each one carefully selected based on the complexity of your procedure and your level of anxiety or sensitivity. During your visit, our highly trained team continuously monitors your vital signs, including your heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure, to make sure everything stays within a safe range from start to finish.
Call Us for Sedation Dentistry in Fortville and Westfield, IN
Our goal is to make your experience as calm, pain-free, and stress-free as possible. Many of our patients who were once fearful of dental visits now feel confident coming in, thanks to the comfort and peace of mind that sedation dentistry provides. If you’ve been avoiding the dentist out of fear or discomfort, sedation may be the safe and gentle solution you’ve been looking for.
Sinus Lifts and Bone Grafting
Healing time after a bone graft or sinus lift can vary from patient to patient, but on average, it takes three to six months for the grafted material to fully integrate with your natural bone. The exact timeline depends on several factors, including the size of the graft, your overall health, the location of the procedure, and how your body responds to healing. During this time, your body works to rebuild strong, stable bone tissue that can support a dental implant for the long haul.
We’ll closely monitor your progress with follow-up visits and digital imaging to ensure everything is healing properly. Once we’ve confirmed that the bone has fully integrated and is strong enough, we’ll move forward with your dental implant placement.
It may feel like a waiting game, but this healing phase is critical. It lays the foundation for a long-lasting, successful implant and helps prevent future complications. Think of it as investing a little time now for a lifetime of confident smiles.
Sinus Lifts and Bone Grafting in Fortville and Westfield
If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implants, don’t give up hope. At Harmony Dentistry, we offer sinus lifts and bone grafting, giving you access to advanced care and the chance to restore your smile the right way from the roots up.
Tooth Extractions
At Harmony Dentistry, we know the idea of having a tooth removed can feel intimidating—but we’re here to make it as smooth, gentle, and stress-free as possible. During your appointment, we’ll thoroughly numb the area so you won’t feel any pain, just light pressure. For patients who feel nervous or are undergoing a more complex extraction (such as wisdom teeth removal), we also offer sedation options to help you relax.
The extraction itself is usually quick, and we take great care to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue. Once the tooth is removed, we’ll place gauze over the site and review clear, step-by-step instructions for post-op care. This includes tips for managing discomfort, avoiding dry socket, and keeping the area clean as it heals.
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or slight bleeding for the first day or two, but most patients recover fully within a few days. We’re always available if you have questions or need support during recovery.
Tooth Extractions in Fortville and Westfield, IN
Are you dealing with a damaged tooth or need wisdom tooth extraction in Westfield, IN? Our team at Harmony Dentistry is here to ensure the process is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your needs, from the first visit to your final check-in.
Tooth Replacements
When you lose one or more teeth, it affects much more than just your smile. Tooth loss can impact how you chew, speak, and even how your jawbone maintains its structure. Modern dentistry offers highly effective and long-lasting solutions for tooth replacement, including dental implants and all-on-4 implant systems.
Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, which integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This forms a strong foundation for a custom dental crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Because implants mimic the root structure, they also help prevent bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them one of the most durable and reliable tooth replacement options available.
All-on-4 Implants
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, the all-on-4 system offers a stable, full-arch restoration using just four implants strategically positioned in the jaw. This approach can often eliminate the need for bone grafting and allows for a faster recovery and functional restoration. A full arch of prosthetic teeth is securely anchored to the implants, providing a natural appearance and excellent chewing efficiency.
Both options restore confidence, comfort, and oral health. Choosing between them depends on your bone density, overall health, and treatment goals—factors best evaluated during a personalized consultation with your dentist or implant specialist.

Emergency Dentistry and Root Canals
Inside every tooth lies a soft center called the "pulp." It's a sensitive space filled with nerves and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive. When that pulp becomes irritated or infected, it can threaten the health of your entire smile.
Several issues can lead to this kind of internal damage, including:
- Deep decay that reaches the inner layers of the tooth
- Chips, cracks, or fractures that expose the pulp
- Dental trauma, even if there’s no visible damage
- Cavities that have been left untreated too long
Because the pulp is so nerve-rich, inflammation here often causes intense, persistent pain. You might also notice sharp sensitivity to hot or cold, tenderness when biting, swollen gums, or even a small bump near the affected area. Sometimes, a darkening tooth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth can be early warning signs of infection.
If the infection is left untreated, it can spread beyond the tooth and lead to more serious health complications. A root canal works by gently removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to prevent future problems.
Gentle Root Canals in Westfield, IN
Please don't wait if you're experiencing any of the above symptoms. Harmony Dentistry provides expert, compassionate root canal treatment in Fortville and Westfield, IN, to relieve your pain and protect your long-term oral health.

Cosmetic Dentistry
If you find yourself hiding your smile in photos, avoiding close-up conversations, or simply feeling self-conscious about the way your teeth look, cosmetic dentistry might be exactly what you need. At Harmony Dentistry, we work with patients who are dealing with a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Chipped or worn edges
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Missing teeth
If you're hoping for a subtle enhancement or a full smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more confident, polished, and comfortable in your own skin.
What makes our approach unique is that we don’t just focus on “perfect” smiles. We focus on your best smile. We’ll take into account your facial features, personality, and goals to create a result that looks completely natural and feels like you.
During your consultation, we’ll sit down with you to explore options like porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, Invisalign® clear aligners, or same-day crowns. We’ll talk about your timeline (whether you’re planning for a big event or just ready for a change), your lifestyle, and your budget, so you can make an informed decision that feels right.

Sleep Apnea Treatment
At Harmony Dentistry, we believe sleep apnea treatment should be effective, comfortable, and easy to fit into your daily life. That’s why we focus on non-invasive, patient-friendly solutions designed to improve your breathing and help you get the restful sleep you deserve—without the bulk or noise of a CPAP machine.
If you’re showing signs of sleep apnea or chronic snoring, we start with a home sleep test—a simple, convenient way to assess your breathing patterns and oxygen levels overnight. You can take the test in the comfort of your own bed, and once the results are in, we’ll go over them with you to determine if sleep apnea is present and what severity level we’re dealing with.
For patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we often recommend a custom-fitted mandibular advancement device (MAD). This small, retainer-like oral appliance is worn while you sleep and gently moves your lower jaw forward. That slight repositioning keeps your airway open, reduces snoring, and prevents the pauses in breathing that disrupt your sleep.
Unlike CPAP machines, MADs are quiet, compact, and easy to travel with—making them a popular choice for those who want freedom and simplicity without sacrificing results.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a versatile solution for a wide range of orthodontic concerns. At Harmony Dentistry, we use clear aligners like Invisalign® and CandidPro® to correct many of the same issues that traditional braces treat—but in a way that’s more comfortable and discreet.
They’re particularly effective for mild to moderate alignment problems, including:
- Crowded teeth, where teeth overlap or twist due to lack of space
- Gaps between teeth, whether from genetics or tooth loss
- Overbites, where the upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth
- Underbites, when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth
- Crossbites, where some upper teeth sit behind the lower ones
- Open bites, where the front teeth don’t touch when the back teeth are closed
Clear aligners gently and gradually move your teeth into a healthier, more balanced position. You’ll see a virtual preview of your transformation with our digital treatment planning software, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Call Our Clear Aligner Dentists in Westfield and Fortville
During your consultation at Harmony Dentistry, we’ll take digital scans of your teeth, assess your bite, and create a personalized treatment plan that maps out every step of your smile journey. We’re here to make clear aligner treatment in Fortville and Westfield, IN, convenient and completely customized.
General Dentistry
We recommend visiting every six months for a professional cleaning and comprehensive exam. These regular checkups are the key to maintaining a healthy smile and catching small issues—like cavities or early gum disease—before they turn into something more serious. During your visit, we do the following:
- Remove built-up plaque and tartar
- Polish your teeth
- Screen for oral cancer
- Assess any changes in your teeth, gums, bite, or restorations
Even if your smile feels fine, routine visits help us stay ahead of problems you may not see or feel yet. Plus, nothing beats that fresh, just-cleaned feeling you walk out with.
If it’s been a while since your last dental visit, don’t worry, we’re not here to judge! Whether it’s been six months, two years, or even longer, we’re just glad you’re ready to take care of your smile again. At Harmony Dentistry, we’ll meet you where you are and make sure you feel welcomed, supported, and completely at ease.
