Welcome to Zionsville Dentistry
Then, when a smile needs more, we restore it and enhance it, conservatively and beautifully.
How this practice works
Your smile is our top priority, and our whole team is here to give you personalized, gentle care. In practice, that comes down to three commitments.
Preventive care and education are the keys to good dental health.
Thorough exams, oral cancer screening, and x-rays only when necessary. Routine cleanings, flossing, sealants and fluoride all help prevent disease, and a review of your medical history keeps us aware of anything that affects your teeth.
Infection control in this office is very important to us.
Sterilization and cross-contamination processes follow the standards recommended by the American Dental Association, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We know how uneasy some people feel about the dentist.
Building trust starts with treating every patient as an individual. The whole team works to make each visit as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

Procedures in Zionsville, IN
General, restorative, cosmetic and family dentistry, delivered with a gentle touch. These are the four families of treatment we provide most.
Restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of a smile, using conservative procedures. We are a member practice of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
A check-up and cleaning at least twice a year, x-rays only when they are needed, and help with what you do at home between visits.
Gum disease is usually painless early on, which is why it is looked for at every exam. Caught as gingivitis, a cleaning or two often puts it right.
Rebuilding teeth that are broken, decayed or missing, from a single tooth-colored filling to implants and dentures.
Very thin porcelain, made to your shape and shade by a dental laboratory and bonded to the front of the tooth. Usually two visits, with little or no anesthesia.
Custom clear trays made from impressions of your own teeth, worn at home with whitening solution for a couple of weeks. Old fillings are matched afterwards, not before.
An artificial root placed in the jaw, left to heal and integrate for up to six months, then fitted with a natural-looking tooth. It can also steady a bridge or a denture.
Complete dentures when every tooth in an arch is gone, partials when some remain. Made from precise impressions, with try-in visits for shape, color and fit.
New and returning patients
We recommend an exam and cleaning at least twice a year. This is what every one of those visits covers, so you know what to expect before you arrive.

Frequently asked questions
At least twice a year, though your dentist or hygienist may suggest more often. A good exam is much more than a check for cavities: it includes an oral cancer screening, a gum disease evaluation, a look at your existing fillings and crowns, and x-rays when they are needed.
Brush at least twice a day, especially before bed, with a soft-bristle brush held at a 45 degree angle to the gums. Floss once a day, curving the floss into a C shape around each tooth and just under the gumline. Electric toothbrushes work well too.
Often you cannot, because it is usually painless early on. Signs to mention to us are red or puffy gums, gums that bleed when you brush or floss, persistent bad breath, new gaps between teeth, loose teeth and receding gums.
The American Dental Association, the CDC, the World Health Organization and the FDA all support amalgam as safe. There are alternatives, including tooth-colored composite, porcelain and gold, and we are happy to talk through which suits you.
Whitening is the simplest route, with custom trays you wear at home. It works on natural enamel only, so older fillings or crowns may need replacing afterwards to match. Veneers are the answer for staining whitening cannot reach.
