Ladd Dental Group

While dentistry has changed tremendously over the years, one thing has remained constant: people want someone they can trust with their family's health. At LADD Dental Group, we believe that every family deserves more than a dental provider—they deserve a trusted friend. Dentistry Built on Relationships A healthy smile starts with trust. Whether it's a child's very first dental appointment , a teenager preparing for clear aligner ortho treatment, a parent balancing a busy schedule, or a grandparent restoring their smile, every stage of life deserves compassionate, personalized care. Our patients aren't just appointments on a schedule. They're our neighbors, friends, coworkers, teachers, coaches, and fellow community members. We take the time to get to know each person because meaningful relationships lead to better care and more confident patien...

 At LADD Dental Group of Rushville , we believe a positive dental experience begins long before a patient sits in the dental chair. It starts the moment you walk through our front doors.

 At LADD Dental Group , we are always looking for ways to make dental care more comfortable, more precise, and more convenient for our patients. One of the most exciting advancements in modern dentistry is laser dentistry —a technology that allows many dental procedures to be performed with greater comfort and improved precision. Whether you're visiting us for preventive care or restorative treatment, laser dentistry can help create a better overall experience. What Is Laser Dentistry? Laser dentistry uses highly focused beams of light energy to treat both soft tissue and certain hard tissue conditions in the mouth. Unlike traditional dental instruments, lasers allow dentists to perform many procedures with exceptional precision while minimizing discomfort and promoting faster healing. This advanced technology has become an excellent option for patients who may feel anxious about dental treatment or simply want the most comfortable care available.

 At LADD Dental Group , we're always looking for ways to make dental care more comfortable, more precise, and less stressful for our patients. One of the exciting technologies helping us do just that is laser dentistry . Dental lasers have transformed the way many procedures are performed by allowing dentists to treat both soft tissue and certain hard tissue conditions with incredible precision. For many patients, this means a more comfortable experience, faster healing, and less time in the dental chair. What Is Laser Dentistry? Laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to perform specific dental procedures. Depending on the treatment, lasers can be used to reshape gum tissue, treat periodontal disease, remove bacteria, perform biopsies, treat cold sores, and assist with other soft tissue procedures. Because lasers are highly precise, they allow your dentist to preserve healthy tissue while targeting only the area being treated. Benefits for Patients More Comfortable...

 For many people, a trip to the dentist can bring feelings of nervousness or anxiety. Whether it's a past experience, fear of the unknown, or simply feeling uncomfortable in a dental chair, dental anxiety is incredibly common. At LADD Dental Group , we believe every patient deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable during their visit—which is why we're proud to incorporate dental support dogs into the care we provide. A Calming Presence Dental support dogs are specially trained to provide comfort in healthcare settings. Their calm demeanor, gentle nature, and friendly personalities can help patients relax before, during, and even after their appointments. Sometimes, simply petting a dog or having one quietly rest nearby can make all the difference. Research has shown that interacting with therapy and support dogs may help lower stress levels, reduce blood pressure, and create a greater sense of calm. For patients who experience dental anxiety, this can transform what ...
