At LADD Dental Group , we believe dentistry has always been about more than teeth. It is about people. Every day, our dentists have the opportunity to build relationships with patients and families that can last for years—even generations. We believe those relationships are one of the most important parts of providing exceptional dental care . Dentistry Is Personal Going to the dentist can feel intimidating for many people. Patients are trusting us with their health, their smiles, their concerns, and often their fears. That trust cannot be built with technology or procedures alone. It is built through genuine relationships. Our dentists take the time to listen. They get to know their patients, understand their goals, answer questions, and help them feel comfortable. Over time, those conversations create something incredibly valuable: trust. And when patients trust their dentist , they are more likely to take an active role in their oral health and feel confident about the care the...

At LADD Dental Group , we believe that great dentistry is built on a commitment to lifelong learning. Our providers are constantly looking for ways to expand their skills, embrace new technology, and ultimately provide better treatment options for the families we serve across North Central Indiana.

Clear aligner therapy has become an important part of modern dentistry . When used appropriately, it can provide patients with a comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to improve both the appearan...

At LADD Dental Group , we are incredibly grateful for the relationship we have with Indiana University School of Dentistry and the impact this remarkable institution has had on dentistry throughout our state and beyond.
