Creating a healthy, firm foundation for a beautiful smileBy catching dental problems when they are small, you can prevent expensive treatment down the road. So Dr. Tannous begins your care with the most thorough dental exam possible. Shell gently check for cavities, gum disease, chipped and broken teeth, loose crowns and fillings and more. Shell also screen for health risks such as oral cancer and examine your health history to see how it relates to your dental health. A finding of pronounced gum disease, for example, is a health risk factor for people with heart disease. Once the exam is complete, youll receive a clear explanation of your individual treatment recommendations and options.

I am a dental hygienist who came to work for the previous owner of Carmel West Dentistry, Dr Halsema, in September of 1986 and am happy to be a part of the transition to Dr. Tannouss team! I have been married to my husband Steve for over 40 years, and our 3 children kept us very busy. I am a dog lover and have a Pomapoo, named Izzie. I am also a foodie who loves looking for new recipes, trying out new restaurants, traveling, shopping for home dcor and watching HGTV. I enjoy playing fantasy football and spending time with family and friends. My favorite thing in the whole world is spending time with my 2 granddaughters, Lily and Zeeva!
I am a dental hygienist and mother of 3 adult children and Nana of 4 boys. I am married to an estate attorney who loves to hike mountains, camp, and scuba dive. I have been in dentistry since 1982, and graduated from Indiana University with a BS. Its been my pleasure to be a member of the Carmel West Dentistry team since 2013, starting with Dr. Halsema and continuing with Dr. Tannous!
Growing up in the dental field (my dad was a dentist in the Chicago suburbs) I have worked in all areas within the dental staff. Ive had the pleasure of working for Dr. Halsema since moving to the area in 1996 first as a substitute dental hygienist and software trainer, then transitioning to her office manager. I am now privileged to be a member of the team for our new dentist, Dr. Rawan Tannous. When Im not working at the office, I train other dental practices on dental practice management software. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my 2 grown children and my grandchildren, my dogs, my friends, reading, cooking and being an active member of my church and P.E.O., a philanthropic, educational organization for women.
I joined the team in 2015, bringing with me several years of expanded dental assisting experience. The best part of my job is getting to interact with and help patients with their dental needs while continuing to learn from Dr. Tannous who accepts nothing less than excellence. I have 2 children, Madyson and Devin, who always keep me busy. In my free time I enjoy everything outdoors, watching movies and anything that brings laughter and joy!
I joined the practice in 2014 after getting married and moving to the area. I love getting to know my patients better each time they come in for their cleanings. In my spare time I enjoy playing on my volleyball league and biking. I also have a large garden and I like to cook using the produce I grow and pick! Now that I am a mom of 2 boys, I have reduced the time I work at the office but still love being a part of the team at Carmel West Dentistry!
I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Nutrition Science in 2007 and began working in my sisters dental office in 2008. I was excited to join Dr. Halsemas team in 2017 and am pleased to now be working for Dr. Tannous. I live in Fishers with my husband and our 2 children, Mason and Naomi. On the weekends I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring parks in the area.
I am an Indiana native and dental hygienist who graduated from the University of Mississippi Medical Center School of Health Related Professions in 1980. Since graduation I have worked in a number of different positions including: working with newborn 3 year old dental patients at Methodist Hospital, as coordinator of the Dental Program for the Marion County Health Department as well as working in private practice. I have also volunteered for over 40 years with the homeless, geriatric and battered women and children populations. In my spare time, I enjoy sports, reading and music.
I am a dental assistant who fell in love with Dentistry my senior year of high school and from there my love for it grew. After graduating from dental assistant school in 2018 and a few years of searching for my forever work home, I found Dr. Tannouss office! I found an office full of amazing people and am so glad Im the new addition to the team. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters Nova and Cora who keep me very busy in my spare time.
