Gum Builder Therapy

Gum recession is one of the most common and overlooked dental concerns — and until recently, the only solution was surgical gum grafting. Carmel West Dentistry is the only practice in Carmel, Indiana offering Gum Builder Therapy, a minimally invasive treatment that uses biocompatible calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) filler to restore receding gumlines.
The procedure is performed in a single appointment, is virtually pain-free, and results are visible immediately — with no surgery, no grafts, and no extended recovery time.

About Carmel West Dentistry

A Dental Home With 60 Years Of Roots In This Community.

Carmel West Dentistry isn't a new practice — it's a legacy. Started in the 1950s, passed through generations of trusted dentists, and today led by Dr. Rawan Tannous, DDS, who continues the same culture of genuine, unhurried care.

Dr. Tannous brings 20+ years of clinical experience, AAFE-certified injectable training, and adjunct faculty status at the Indiana University School of Dentistry. Patients drive from Zionsville, Westfield, and across Indianapolis because the care here is genuinely different.

Why Choose Us

A Dental Home You'll Look Forward To.

There are plenty of dentists in Carmel. Here's why patients drive from across Indianapolis to come to this one.

01

Teaching-grade expertise in a neighborhood office

Dr. Tannous is adjunct faculty at the IU School of Dentistry — she teaches what she practices. The techniques used at Carmel West Dentistry reflect the most current evidence-based standards in modern dentistry.

02

Conservative — only what you actually need

Dr. Tannous is known for recommending less, not more. If a procedure isn't genuinely in your best interest, she'll tell you. Patients trust her because she's never tried to upsell them.

03

The only Gum Builder Therapy provider in Carmel

A non-surgical gum recession treatment that no other local practice offers. If you've been told you need a graft, come talk to us first — you may have a better option.

04

60+ years of community roots and earned trust

This practice has been caring for Carmel families since the 1950s. That continuity of care — and the trust built across generations — is something no new practice can replicate.
