Comprehensive Care for Every Stage
Preventive exams and thorough cleanings keep foundations strong while screening for decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.

Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly while fitting your routine. After a digital scan, our team maps precise movements and fabricates a series of smooth, removable trays. Wear them 20–22 hours daily, removing them to eat, brush, and floss—no brackets, no wires, fewer food restrictions. Check-ins are brief, and many progress reviews are handled quickly to keep visits efficient. Treatment can address crowding, spacing, overbite, crossbite, and mild relapse after braces. Your plan may include small, tooth-colored attachments or elastics to guide complex movements comfortably. Most adult cases finish in about twelve to eighteen months, though refinements are common to perfect details. We’ll coach you on aligner care, speech tips, travel routines, and how to switch trays on time.
Because aligners are transparent, most people notice your smile—not your orthodontics. When alignment is complete, retainers protect your investment and maintain long-term stability. If Invisalign isn’t ideal for your needs, our dentists will explain alternatives and costs clearly so you can decide confidently. Ready to begin? Call 317-271-1330 to schedule an Invisalign consultation with Sonshine Family Dental and experience comfortable, predictable aligner therapy designed around your goals, timeline, and lifestyle.

Veneers
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells that refine tooth shape, color, and symmetry with minimal preparation. At Sonshine Family Dental, planning starts with a conversation, photos, and shade analysis to understand your goals and bite. We take digital impressions and use conservative preparation when appropriate to preserve healthy enamel and improve bonding. A provisional “test drive” lets you preview length and contours in everyday light before finalizing details with our partner lab. Your custom ceramics are crafted for natural translucency and edge anatomy, then bonded under precise isolation for strength, smooth margins, and lasting stain resistance. We’ll share care tips, review foods to avoid, and may recommend a nightguard if you clench or grind.
Veneers can refresh one tooth or transform your whole smile in just a few visits and often pair beautifully with whitening or Invisalign® for comprehensive results. Not everyone is a candidate; active gum disease, extensive decay, heavy wear, or large fractures may require preliminary care. We’ll explain alternatives—such as bonding or crowns—so you can choose confidently. Ready to explore a brighter, more harmonious smile? Call 317-271-1330 to schedule a consultation with our experienced dentists at Sonshine Family Dental. Expect artistry, durability, and clear communication from start to finish, every time.

Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with dependable strength and a natural look. A small, biocompatible post is placed in the jaw to act as a new root, preserving bone and preventing shifting. After careful planning with digital imaging, Sonshine Family Dental customizes each case to your bite, smile line, and goals. If needed, we coordinate grafting to create a strong foundation. Guided placement enhances precision and comfort, and provisional options help you eat and speak confidently during healing. Once the post integrates, a custom abutment and crown, bridge, or denture restores lifelike contour, color, and function.
Long-term success depends on healthy gums and consistent care, so we’ll coach you on brushing, flossing, and maintenance visits. Many patients choose implants because they protect neighboring teeth, improve chewing and speech, and feel secure—no slipping or adhesives. Not everyone is an immediate candidate; certain medical conditions, smoking, or active periodontal disease may require preparation. If implants aren’t the best fit, our dentists explain alternatives such as bridges or removable options, outlining timelines and costs in plain language so you can decide confidently. Ready to explore your options? Call 317-271-1330 to request a consultation with the experienced team at Sonshine Family Dental and take the next step toward lasting comfort and confidence.
