Carmel West Dentistry has been the trusted general dental home for families across Carmel, Indiana since the 1950s. Dr. Rawan Tannous provides comprehensive general dentistry for patients of all ages — from routine cleanings and exams to fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, and dental implant consultations. Her conservative philosophy means you will only ever be recommended treatment you genuinely need, explained clearly and without pressure. Whether you are due for your six-month checkup, dealing with a toothache, or looking to establish a dental home for your whole family, Carmel West Dentistry is accepting new patients and ready to welcome you.
Regular dental exams and professional cleanings are the foundation of lifelong oral health. Dr. Tannous performs thorough exams that include oral cancer screening, periodontal evaluation, digital X-rays, and a complete assessment of your teeth, gums, and bite — catching small problems before they become expensive ones.
We use composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth color, preserving more tooth structure than amalgam and blending seamlessly with your smile. Fillings are completed in a single, comfortable appointment.
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a dental crown restores its strength, function, and appearance. Dr. Tannous places natural-looking porcelain and zirconia crowns that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Root canal therapy at Carmel West Dentistry is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests — Dr. Tannous uses quiet electric handpieces and careful technique to make the procedure as pain-free as possible. When extraction is necessary, she performs it gently and discusses replacement options before you leave the chair.
Missing a tooth? Dental implants are the gold standard for permanent tooth replacement. Dr. Tannous provides implant consultations and coordinates your full treatment plan, including restoration with a natural-looking implant crown.
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss — and most patients do not know they have it. Dr. Tannous evaluates your gum health at every visit and provides scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) when needed to stop gum disease in its tracks.
A great general dentist is more than someone who cleans your teeth twice a year. They are a partner in your long-term health — someone who knows your history, notices changes over time, and helps you make informed decisions about your care. At Carmel West Dentistry, Dr. Tannous has built that kind of practice over 20+ years. Patients describe her as thorough, unhurried, and genuinely honest — never recommending a procedure unless it is truly in their best interest. The team has been together for years, which means you see familiar, caring faces at every visit. Families from across Carmel, Zionsville, Westfield, and Greater Indianapolis choose us because they know we will always put their health first.
Dr. Tannous is widely recognized among her patients for recommending less, not more. She will never suggest a crown when a filling will do, or recommend a procedure that cannot be clearly justified. Her patients trust her because she has never tried to upsell them — and that trust is the foundation of this practice.
Dr. Tannous uses electric handpieces that operate without the high-pitched drill sound that makes so many patients anxious. If you have avoided the dentist because of the noise or discomfort, Carmel West Dentistry is genuinely different — patients frequently comment that it is the most comfortable dental experience they have ever had.
This practice has been caring for Carmel families since the 1950s — through three dentists, multiple generations of patients, and decades of trust. Dr. Tannous took ownership in 2020 and continues the same culture of honest, compassionate, patient-first care that has defined this office for over 70 years.
Cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer rarely cause pain in their early stages. By the time a patient notices symptoms, a problem that could have been treated with a simple filling may now require a crown — or worse. This is why regular exams and cleanings at Carmel West Dentistry are the most cost-effective dental investment you can make. Dr. Tannous performs a comprehensive assessment at every appointment, reviewing your X-rays, probing your gum pockets, screening for oral cancer, and checking every existing restoration for signs of failure. Problems caught early are treated simply. Problems caught late are treated expensively. We make it easy to stay on schedule — with early morning appointments Monday through Thursday, online booking, and a team that genuinely makes the experience something patients look forward to rather than dread.
At Carmel West Dentistry, general dentistry means far more than a cleaning and a nod. Dr. Tannous brings the same meticulous attention to a routine exam as she does to the most complex restorative case — because she knows that what she notices today determines what you avoid tomorrow.

Our early morning hours (Mon–Wed 7AM–5PM, Thu 7AM–12PM) are designed to fit around your workday. Call (317) 253-8631 or book online anytime.

Root canal therapy at Carmel West Dentistry is far more comfortable than most patients expect. Dr. Tannous uses effective local anesthesia, quiet electric handpieces (no loud drill sound), and a gentle technique that minimizes discomfort throughout the procedure. Most patients are surprised by how painless the experience is. The toothache that makes a root canal necessary is almost always more painful than the procedure itself.
