Her dental career started early when she became a dental assistant for an oral surgery group after high school. It was there that she found her passion for taking old dental textbooks that the surgeons gave her and reading them after work. She believes that working at every level within the profession has given her a unique perspective on providing dental care.
Dr. Diana is proud to be named a Top Dentist by Indianapolis Monthly for the last five years. She also is currently part-time faculty at the graduate pediatric dentistry program at Riley Childrens Hospital working with kids dentist residents in the operating room.
There is nothing that Dr. Diana loves more passionately in life than her two children, Finn and Whitney. She understands that all parents share that sentiment and believes as a kids dentist that only the absolute best care is acceptable for your kids.
Michelle has worked in the kids dentist field for over 15 years, eight of those years have been spent with Dr. Diana. They are like a little old dental couple. Michelle is most gifted at helping parents navigate their childs schedule to maximize dental care.
You can attribute the energy and competence of our kids dentist front desk to Michelles leadership. In fact, she controls the ambiance of the office as well. She chooses all the music you hear while here. If Michelle is feeling country the country radio station it is! Outside of work, you will often find Michelle at her happy place: Jim Dandy restaurant with her three girls.
Natalie has always had a thing for teethreally. In her fifth-grade health class, Natalies favorite part was teeth. She remembers drawing a tooth structure for the first time and being so proud. Continuing to work at a kids dentist was her destiny. Building on her love of children, Natalie started her career in pediatric dentistry directly in 2012.
Natalie and Dr. Diana might have different opinions about Taylor Swift, but they push those aside to be friends. Away from our kids dentist office, youll find Natalie with her beautiful daughter and husband (who was also her high school sweetheart).

I was always so pleased with Growing Grins and how kind the whole staff is, I was super bummed when we moved. After searching for a local dentist that was as great as Growing Grins I decided driving over an hour to go back to them was definitely worth it!

I love Growing Grins the entire staff is so nice and very friendly. My son did not like going to the dentist until we started coming to Growing Grins. Everyone is very nice and professional. I would recommend this dentist office to friends and family.

Growing Grins is a very nice office with WONDERFUL staff! My daughter needed IV sedation to get 1 cavity fixed and they were able to fit her in during the summer which is what I wanted so I didn't have to take her out of school. I can't say enough good things about the staff there! Everyone was so nice and made us feel very comfortable. Our procedure was very quick and they kept us up so date on our daughter while she was away from us. I would recommend them to anyone!

Today I took my three grandkids to the dentist at Growing Grins Pediatric Dentistry. All I can say is WOW! I never knew going to the dentist, especially with three kids, could be so quick and painless! I was prepared to be there for and hour at least, between waiting in the lobby and waiting for each kid to be seen one by one. Nope! We were actually out in under an hour!! These folks have taken the practice of pediatric dentistry and fine tuned it to perfection. In addition, the staff is so gentle and friendly that the kids don't even mind going to the dentist. I cannot say enough about how impressed I am about their practice. It really is an amazing thing. If you have littles and you are looking for a great dentist for them, look no further, this is the place!!

I had an appointment here at 8 AM for my 4 children. We drove from Fishers and hit traffic. When I arrived 13 minutes late I was told they wouldn't see 2 of my kids because we were 3 minutes over their grace period. If business is so good they can't accommodate a single mother of 4 at a pediatric dental practice, I'll find one closer with some compassion and kindness. We've been going here over 6 years and were treated like strangers off the street today.

I can't say enough about how wonderful of an experience my son and I had here today! We drove from Fort Wayne after having a consultation that was horrific and recommending an extensive treatment plan that was priced at nearly 6k and would significantly alter my child's appearance! Found Growing Grins and drove 2 hours to have a consult with Dr. Morgan who was amazing with explaining things and taking into account my concerns. She offered more than one treatment option and we ended up choosing an option that will only better my sons appearance for a small fraction of the cost that I was told in Fort Wayne! My son who is 3 is shy but when we walked out he said "they were nice dentists mama"! I can't recommend Growing Grins enough!

Phenomenal experience with Growing Grins! It's a beautiful facility with the nicest staff. I am so incredibly happy we found Growing Grins. My insurance had changed and I was needing to find an in network provider and though it ended up that my insurance does consider them out of network I felt it was worth it to keep them! They worked out all of the pre insurance information for me and let me know ahead of time what all the appointment would cost, but they would put it through to my insurance first. Such a helpful and understanding team!

Growing Grins was such a positive experience. My one son had never had a successful cleaning due to his fears of the dentist and he had no problem having Sophia clean his teeth. She was patient and wonderful with my kids. Very impressed!
