The top priority for Dr. Don Newman when it comes to his patients is a positive, pleasant dental experience. A close second is an amazing, healthy smile. 'I wanted to make a difference in people 's lives, and helping them have healthy teeth and gums does exactly that!' Don says.

Dr. Newman graduated from North Central High School, and attended Indiana University for both college and dental school. He then bought a dental practice in Indianapolis, Indiana & soon after opened a second location in Carmel, Indiana. He is now joined by his two brothers.

When he's not treating and educating patients, Dr. Newman spends time volunteering as a Pre-K baseball coach at the Carmel Dad's Club, attending Indiana University basketball and football games, and watching the Colts or the Pacers. Don lives in Carmel with his wife, Jennifer, and his two young sons, Braiden and Brooks.

According to Dr. Marc, the main difference between doctors and dentists is not just the type of procedures they do - it 's the amount of personal interaction they have with their patients. 'Healthy patients typically see their dentist more often than their physician. I have the privilege of really getting to know everyone I treat!'

Dr. Marc graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelors of Sciences degree in Biology, and followed up with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Indiana University School of Dentistry. Dr. Marc wanted to join a private practice with a dentist willing to mentor him, and his older brother Dr. Don Newman was able to offer that type of opportunity.

Dr. Marc lives in nearby Broad Ripple with his wife, Katie. When they aren't working, the couple enjoys spending time together. Favorite activities include taking long walks with their dog Wally, kayaking around Eagle Creek, dining at their favorite and new local restaurants, traveling, going to concerts and the theatre, and spending time with their niece and nephews.

For Dr. Mikel Newman, dentistry is more than a career, it 's a passion - and one he shares with his two brothers, Don and Marc. 'I love being able to help people lead happier, healthier lives,' says Mikel, adding, 'Getting to share that experience with my family is an added bonus!'

Of all the procedures Mikel does daily, helping with tongue tied or lip tied infants with breast feeding difficulties is his favorite. In these cases, 'frenectomies make a huge difference in a child 's ability to nurse or eat. Parents have to trust their child 's doctor, so my job is to be trustworthy, patient, caring, and skilled so I can live up to that trust!'

When he isn't working with babies and other patients in the practice, Dr. Mikel speaks at elementary schools to educate kids about oral health care. He also lectures around the state to help healthcare professionals understand the effects of tongue and lip ties. For fun, Dr. Mikel enjoys watching the Colts, Pacers, and Hoosier games. He also enjoys hanging out with his wife, Natalie and their golden retriever puppy, Luna. Dr. Mikel enjoys spending his free time working out, running, and playing tennis.

Bonnie is a Speedway, Indiana native who graduated high school and completed several years of college and technical school while being in the workforce. She has accumulated over 55 years of business and administrative experience as well as continuing her education. Bonnie had been a patient of the practice for many years, and when opportunity arose for her to join the team as Business Coordinator, she was happy to take on the responsibility and whip the office into shape!

Holly, originally from Speedway, attended IUPUI and is now our Scheduling Coordinator. She majored in General Studies and has 13 years of customer and management experience. Holly enjoys working at our practice because the environment is always positive. She adds that 'seeing a formerly self-conscious personal walk away feeling confident with their results and their smile is extremely rewarding!'

In Holly's spare time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, especially her niece and three nephews. Her favorite weekend activities include going to concerts, hiking outdoors, and reading.

Dental assistant Heather is an Indianapolis native, and studied under a technical program at Kaplan College. She assists the doctor, does inventory and orders supplies for the practice. Im a people person, she says of herself. I always wanted to work in a profession that let me interact with people, and now I get to do that and help them learn about dental hygiene, too!

Heather and her boyfriend have been together for 3 years; they are currently sharing their first apartment with their puppy, Quinn. When shes not working, Heather spends time volunteering with Best Buddies and enjoys shopping, dancing and spending time with family.

Katelynn grew up in a small southwestern Indiana town and is new to the Indianapolis area. She graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry and received her certifications in Dental Assisting and Expanded Functions. Growing up, Katelynn dreamed of working at a dental office. Her ambitions intensified while spending time in various dental offices, specifically to get her teeth straightened. She says 'the results from my own dental treatments reinforced my desire to help others gain beautiful, healthy smiles.'

Katelynn lives with her boyfriend and their Belgian Malinois puppy, Niko. When she is not working, she enjoys shopping, traveling, spending time with family and friends, being outdoors and training Niko in personal protection and obedience.

Hannah became a dental hygienist out of compassion and desire to help others. She is now 6 years into a rewarding career. I like working at Newman Family Dentistry because of the fun atmosphere and the great people here, she says. Hannah has a BS in Public Health Dental Hygiene from the IU School of Dentistry and is also certified to administer local anesthetic.

Concern for her own oral health led dental hygienist Tawnya to pursue a career as a dental tech during her time in the Army National Guard. Tawnya is currently the State Dental Sergeant for the Indiana National Guard and is also certified to administer local anesthetic. She returned home from training and applied for a dental hygienist program. Today she has 14 years in the dental field under her belt, 8 of those as a dental hygienist.

I enjoy the relationships Ive built with the patients over the years, says Tawnya. I have a genuine concern for people and their health! Tawnya recently married her best friend, and the happy couple is hoping for children to come along soon.

As a dental hygienist at Newman Family Dental, Victoria works to enhance patient care and make every patient feel comfortable. She has an associates degree in applied science, and a work history encompassing 31 years in the industry.

Smiles are meant to be shared. They're often the first thing we see when we meet someone. They're how we express joy. Life is too short to be hiding a smile you're not proud of. Maybe you're not happy with how your smile looks because of stains, injury, or your teeth aren't aligned as well as they could be. The cosmetic dentistry services at Newman Family Dentistry have the expertise to correct almost any aspect of your smile you'd like to see changed. We offer teeth whitening, veneers, cosmetic bonding, tooth-colored fillings, Snap-On Smile and more. Let us give you a smile you'll be proud to share.

Our philosophy for dental care has always been that keeping teeth healthy is a thousand times better than fixing problems once they've come up. Preventive dentistry lets you avoid toothaches and bleeding gums. It means you'll be less likely to need expensive and painful treatments down the road. And it ensures that you'll have strong, healthy, beautiful teeth throughout your life. That's why we encourage patients to come in every six months for checkups and cleanings, and why we offer sealants, fluoride treatment, and instruction on proper dental hygiene.

We love taking care of our youngest patients! As soon as your child has teeth, it's important to begin building strong dental hygiene habits. We can help by making sure those baby teeth are developing as they should, teaching your children proper brushing techniques, and providing positive experiences with the dentist. As your kids grow, we'll be here to help prevent problems and catch decay while it's easy to deal with. We can help your teenagers straighten crooked teeth using Invisalign Clear Braces. We look forward to providing the best dental care for your whole family for years to come.

At Newman Family Dentistry, we understand that a number of factors go into choosing your dentist. Not only are you considering which dentist to entrust your oral health care to, but you must concern yourself with finding answers to insurance questions, whether you can afford to take time from work to visit the dentist and, most importantly, finding a doctor and team you can trust. Juggling work, school, and family is difficult enough, but neglecting your teeth shouldnt be a solution. In fact, ignoring your teeth causes further problems down the road. At Newman Family Dentistry, we want you to feel like family. And, we want to make sure getting to know us is easy for you. We are proud to offer:
