Your Trusted Dentist In Fort Wayne, IN

We have a team of three qualified dentists who are supported by a well-trained staff. Dr. Thomas T. Teel graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry and was a resident at the Medical College of Ohio, where he learned everything he needed to know about general dentistry. He sharpened his cosmetic dentistry skills at the renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. Dr. Teel also studied at San Francisco’s Pacific Aesthetic Continuum. These qualifications make him one of the best cosmetic dentists in the country.

Dr. Thomas M. Gilbert is another qualified dentist on our team. He received a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1995 and has been helping patients with a wide range of dental issues ever since. While he is well-versed in all aspects of general dentistry, his skill lies in implant and advanced restorative dentistry. He studied at the renownedDawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies to hone his skills in advanced restorative dentistry and is one of the leading experts in the field.

Dr. Zolnik attended Indiana University in Bloomington where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition Science and had minors in psychology, chemistry, and biology. Dr. Zolnik went on to study at Indiana University School of Dentistry, earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2015. During dental school, she earned the Health Professions Scholarship Program from the United States Navy.

Cost holds many patients back from seeking dental treatment, causing them to neglect to attend to minor, treatable problems until they are too severe to ignore. We offer low-cost dental services to clients. You can get everything from affordable dentures to cosmetic treatments.

Our dentists are conservative in their approach and won’t recommend invasive or expensive treatments unless you need them. For example, they won’t recommend tooth extraction and implant unless the root of the tooth is heavily compromised.

We also use the latest technologies to reduce treatment time. Our expert dentists will do their best to ensure the treatment is complete within a single visit to the office, which is more affordable than multiple visits. If you’re looking for affordable and effective treatments, we’re the best choice for you.

Children require a unique approach and have special requirements. Their teeth, palate, jawbone, and facial structure are being developed. Solutions that work for adults may not work for them. As a family dentist, we know how to handle a child’s oral health well.

Our dentist will carefully monitor your child’s dental development over several months and years. This allows us to identify all issues early and address them promptly. For example, if a dentist notices that your child’s teeth are misaligned or have an overbite, they will recommend effective orthodontic solutions that correct these imperfections.

Dentistry for children can be challenging for even the most experienced professional. Our dentists have a compassionate and fun approach towards these patients. We take time to explain the procedure to young patients who they know what to expect. Our dentist also demonstrates how every tool works to ensure children become familiarized with the different sounds these make, so they don’t get anxious.

If a patient loses a few teeth, they have two options to consider- dental implants or dentures. We always recommend implants because they offer several long-term benefits. Tooth implant technology has come a long way over the years. You can now find solutions that replace lost teeth quickly, without the need to wait several months for the implant site to heal.

Dr. Gilbert specializes in restorative dentistry and will recommend the most effective solutions. You can discuss the treatment options in detail to determine which one is suitable for your requirements.

Tooth implants often make people nervous because they look like a painful, invasive procedure. Advancements in dental technology ensure this process is relatively painless and has a low chance of failure. If you’re concerned about tooth implants and their impact on your life, our dentists are always here to help.

Not all dental issues can wait until a scheduled appointment. Sometimes patients need our assistance urgently, which is why we provide emergency services. If you have lost a tooth due to an accident or fall, are experiencing severe pain, or face situations that require urgent care, walk into our clinic or call us for an emergency appointment.

We make sure patients see a dentist as quickly as possible and receive prompt treatment. Our dentist will either fix the issue immediately or provide temporary treatment before scheduling another appointment.

When you call our clinic, a trained staff member will provide detailed guidelines on what kind of first aid you need. Following these steps can help reduce the pain and salvage the tooth. All you need to do is explain the injury to the staff clearly so they can provide proper instructions.
