Cleanings · Exams · Fillings · Crowns · Root Canals

The foundation of a healthy smile. Our general dentistry services include comprehensive exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, root canal therapy, tooth extractions, oral cancer screenings, and preventive care for the whole family. We see patients of all ages — from young children to seniors — and believe that proactive, routine care is the best investment you can make in your long-term oral health.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Whitening · Veneers · Bonding · Smile Makeovers

A more confident smile starts here. Dr. Tannous combines an artistic eye with advanced technique to deliver cosmetic results that look and feel completely natural. Our cosmetic services include professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, tooth contouring, gum contouring, and complete smile makeovers. Whether you want to brighten your smile before a big event or transform your appearance over time, we create a personalized plan around your goals.

Gum Builder TherapyADVANCED

Non-Surgical · Minimally Invasive · Same-Day Results

One of the leading providers in the area offering this advanced, non-surgical treatment for gum recession. Gum Builder Therapy uses biocompatible calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) filler to restore receding gumlines — reducing tooth sensitivity, closing black triangles between teeth, and stimulating collagen production for lasting results. It is a minimally invasive, virtually pain-free alternative to traditional gum grafting, with results visible immediately after treatment.

Botox Therapy

TMJ Relief · Bruxism · Jaw Pain · AAFE Certified

Dr. Tannous is an AAFE-certified Botox provider — one of a small number of dentists in Indiana with this specialized training. We offer dental Botox for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain relief and bruxism (teeth grinding) treatment. Botox administered by a trained dentist offers unique precision around the oral and facial musculature. Treatments are quick, in-office, and require no downtime.

SureSmile Clear Aligners

Clear · Removable · Adults & Teens · 6–18 Month Treatment

Straighten your smile discreetly with SureSmile — a clear aligner system designed for teens and adults who want results without traditional metal braces. SureSmile uses advanced 3D imaging and precision-engineered aligner trays to move teeth efficiently and comfortably. Treatment is fully customized to your smile, and the clear trays are virtually invisible, removable, and easy to maintain. Most patients see meaningful improvement within 6 to 18 months.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Safe · Fast-Acting · No Hangover · All Ages Welcome

Dental anxiety should never stand between you and the care you need. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation to help patients of all ages relax comfortably during treatment. Nitrous oxide is safe, fast-acting, and wears off quickly — most patients can drive themselves home immediately after. It is a gentle, non-invasive option that makes even the most anxious patients feel at ease throughout their appointment.

A Leading Provider of Gum Builder Therapy

Gum Builder Therapy — A Non-Surgical Solution for Gum Recession

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 one of the leading providers of Gum Builder Therapy in the area — a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses biocompatible calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) filler to restore receding gumlines.

This innovative treatment directly addresses gum recession by restoring lost tissue volume, reducing tooth sensitivity, eliminating black triangles between teeth, and stimulating natural collagen production for lasting results. 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.

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive — no grafts required
  • Reduces tooth sensitivity caused by exposed roots
  • Closes black triangles between teeth for improved aesthetics
  • Stimulates collagen production for lasting tissue regeneration
  • Results visible immediately after treatment
  • Pain-free alternative to traditional gum grafting surgery
