About Carmel West Dentistry

A Dental Home With 70 Years Of Roots In This Community.

Carmel West Dentistry is not 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.
Patients drive from Zionsville, Westfield, and across Indianapolis because the care here is genuinely different — conservative, honest, and built around the patient, not the procedure.
