Family Dentistry in Granger, Indiana
At Advance Dental, we've been caring for Michiana families for over 35 years. We understand that choosing a dentist means finding someone you trust with your children, your parents, and everyone in between. Our family-focused practice welcomes patients of all ages, creating a comfortable environment where multiple generations feel at home.
What to Expect
For Your Youngest Family Members
We believe every child deserves a positive introduction to dental care. Our gentle approach has earned us a reputation for tear-free visits — and we mean it. Our "no tears" philosophy guides everything we do:
-
If your child feels uncomfortable, we pause and try again when they're ready
-
Children can sit in a parent's lap for comfort and security
-
We make it fun: "Let's count your teeth together!"
-
Every visit ends with a toy and a balloon to celebrate their bravery
We never restrain children or force treatment. Instead, we build trust through patience, kindness, and understanding. Parents tell us their children actually look forward to dental visits — that's the experience we create.
What to Expect
For Patients with Special Needs
We provide compassionate care for patients of all abilities. Our team has experience working with patients who have physical or cognitive disabilities, as well as anxiety disorders, and other conditions that may make dental visits challenging. When appropriate, we offer several options to ensure comfort and successful treatment.
For Your Entire Family
Whether it's routine cleanings, preventive care, or addressing specific concerns, we provide comprehensive dentistry for every age and stage. Schedule appointments for multiple family members back-to-back for convenience, or bring everyone in together — we're equipped to handle it all.

Our Technology:
At Advance Dental, we're always looking for ways to give our patients the most accurate, thorough care possible. That's why we use Pearl, a cutting-edge diagnostic imaging tool that analyzes your X-rays in real time — acting as a second set of eyes to make sure nothing gets missed. Areas of concern are highlighted in color, making your X-rays easier to understand at a glance. Together, Pearl helps us detect concerns earlier, present findings more clearly, and make treatment recommendations you can feel confident in.
