Dr. Edwards specializes in periodontics and implant dentistry. We offer nonsurgical and surgical treatments for gum disease, along with cosmetic periodontal procedures to improve the appearance of your smile.

We want you to feel comfortable asking questions and talking with us about your health. We’ll listen, discuss your concerns, and help you understand your options. For questions about your care, please email us or call 317-842-2273.
What Is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in caring for your gums and the structures that support your teeth. This includes diagnosing and treating gum disease, placing and maintaining dental implants, and addressing problems such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum recession.
Periodontics is a recognized dental specialty that requires additional education and hands-on training. After completing dental school, periodontists undergo at least three more years of specialized training to learn how to treat a wide range of gum conditions and perform advanced dental procedures.
Seeing a periodontist gives you access to specialized care and treatment options suited to your needs. Dr. Edwards offers both surgical and nonsurgical treatments for gum disease, dental implant placement, and cosmetic periodontal procedures that can improve the appearance of your gums and smile.
