Community Partnership | Indiana University School of Dentistry Collaboration

 At LADD Dental Group, community and servant leadership aren’t just words on a wall—they are guiding principles behind everything we do. That’s why we are incredibly grateful and honored to be selected as a dental outreach partner with the Indiana University School of Dentistry. This partnership represents much more than collaboration; it reflects a shared commitment to service, education, and shaping the future of dentistry.

The IU School of Dentistry has a long-standing reputation for excellence, innovation, and producing compassionate, highly skilled dental professionals. To be trusted as one of their outreach partners is both humbling and energizing. It affirms our belief that dentistry is first and foremost a people business—one built on relationships, mentorship, and caring for those we serve.

Through this partnership, we have the opportunity to support dental students as they transition from the classroom into real-world clinical experiences. By opening our doors and sharing our practices, we aim to model not only clinical excellence but also the importance of empathy, integrity, and community-focused care. We believe the best dentists are those who understand that leadership begins with service.

Serving Indiana families has always been at the heart of our mission, and this collaboration allows us to extend that mission even further. Together with the IU School of Dentistry, we are helping ensure that future dentists are prepared not only to deliver outstanding care, but also to give back, lead with purpose, and make a lasting impact in the communities they serve.

We are deeply thankful for the trust placed in us and excited about what the future holds. Partnerships like this remind us why we do what we do—and reinforce our commitment to investing in people, education, and the future of dentistry here in Indiana.

Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work .

The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association.
