Core Value | Community

Community has been at the heart of LADD Dental Group since our family first began serving patients in 1978. It is more than the towns where our offices are located—it is the people, families, schools, businesses, and organizations that make each community unique. That's why "Community" is one of our core values. We don't believe dentistry is simply about fixing teeth. We believe it's about helping our neighbors live healthier, happier, and more confident lives.

More Than a Dental Practice

To us, dentistry is a profession built on trust. Patients invite us into some of life's most personal moments, and that trust is something we never take for granted.

Our responsibility doesn't end when a patient leaves the office. We believe great dental care should strengthen the communities around us by improving health, boosting confidence, creating jobs, supporting local organizations, and making every family feel like they have a dental home they can count on.

Investing Where We Live

Every LADD Dental Group location is part of a unique community with its own history, traditions, and people. We believe successful businesses should invest back into the communities that support them.

That means supporting local schools, partnering with community organizations, welcoming new families to our neighborhoods, and creating career opportunities for talented dental professionals who want to make a difference close to home.

When our communities thrive, everyone benefits.

Building Relationships That Last

Technology continues to transform dentistry, but one thing will never change: people want to be cared for by people they know and trust.

We don't measure success simply by the number of patients we see. We measure it by the relationships we build over years—and often generations. It is incredibly rewarding to care for grandparents, parents, and children all within the same family.

Those lifelong relationships remind us that we are not simply treating patients. We are caring for neighbors and friends.

Improving Access to Care

Community also means making quality dental care more accessible.

We are proud to welcome families from all backgrounds and strive to remove barriers that prevent people from receiving the care they deserve. Whether it's accepting Indiana Medicaid, investing in advanced technology, expanding into underserved communities, or partnering with educational institutions to help develop the next generation of dental professionals, we are always looking for ways to improve access to high-quality dental care.

Healthy communities begin with healthy smiles.

Looking Toward the Future

As LADD Dental Group continues to grow throughout North Central Indiana, our commitment to community will never change.

Growth isn't about opening more locations. It's about creating more opportunities to serve families, support local communities, and improve lives one smile at a time.

Every new office represents another chance to build relationships, earn trust, and become a positive part of the community for decades to come.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Community

We are deeply grateful for every patient who chooses LADD Dental Group. Your trust allows us to do what we love every day.

Community isn't just one of our core values—it is the foundation of everything we do. Together, we are building healthier smiles, stronger relationships, and brighter futures for the communities we proudly call home.

Because at LADD Dental Group, we're not just caring for smiles.

We're caring for our neighbors.

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. 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. Vujicic said that the majority of emergency room dental visits were for infections that could be handled in a dentist's office. Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
