“Hear What Our Patients Say”
Dental Implants
Dental implants serve as titanium replacements of your natural tooth's anchoring roots. Dental implants are successful replacing missing teeth by mimicking nature. Dental implants are designed to provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
All on 4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 Dental Implants are unique, implant supported dentures which are designed to eliminate the common issues of the constant slipping and shifting related to traditional dentures. This restoration solution was specifically designed to assist you if have missing teeth and limited jawbone density.
Supported Dentures
With a traditional dental bridge, the replacement teeth are fused to two dental crowns, one on each side of the required false teeth, and then these crowns are permanently glued to the adjoining healthy teeth to hold the bridge in place. An implant supported bridge will not need the support of the two neighboring teeth.

Dedication to providing the best periodontal care to Indianapolis and Fishers isn't just something Drs. Edwards and Christman talk about. They are board certified periodontist, which means they have gone above and beyond what most periodontists do to master his field of work. They have sought out further education to bring the most promising new treatments to their patients.
Gum Disease
Periodontal or gum disease will harm the bone and surrounding tissues of your teeth. Gingivitis is the first level of gum disease. If treated at this first stage, gum disease can be prevented and even reversed. If not treated, it will quickly lead to periodontitis, which will damage your gums, bones and other structures that support your teeth, resulting in tooth loss.
Gum Grafting
A gum graft, also known as a gingival graft or periodontal plastic surgery, is an umbrella name for several surgical periodontal procedures which intent is to cover an exposed tooth root surface with grafted oral tissue. A gum graft is a variety of surgical procedures which when performed thicken your gums, and possibly cover an exposed tooth root surface.
Gum Surgery
Sometimes, gum surgery may be needed to treat certain gum diseases and conditions, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular visits to see us, will help keep your teeth healthy and strong. But good oral hygiene is not just for your teeth, it will also keep your gums healthy.
State of the Art Technology
For Advanced Periodontics
Offering the best periodontal care in the world requires the most advanced technology in the world. Drs. Edwards and Christman are always in search of new ways to provide patients with better results and do it in a way that minimizes pain and recovery time. They are also happy to take up technologies that make it easier to communicate with patients and allow us to do our jobs in more environmentally friendly ways.
Tissue Regeneration
Guided Tissue Regeneration is a technique using a combination of bone grafting and membrane placement to guide and direct bone formation. This procedure uses the bone-grafting material to create space for your future bone growth and then a covering membrane to control the fast-growing soft tissue.
Platelet Rich Fibrin
Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous platelet concentrate prepared from your own blood at our clinic just before the dental procedure in which it will assist. Platelet rich fibrin is a by-product of your blood that is exceptionally rich in platelets.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
LANAP® is another new advancement in dental technology offering a gum disease treatment that uses laser technology to eliminate diseased tissue and infection caused by periodontal disease. It is a far less invasive, far more comfortable experience for you than traditional surgery.
