Welcome to Hardin Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, your trusted family dentist in Indianapolis, IN. Dr. Hardin and our team are committed to keeping your smile healthy and beautiful with our comprehensive dental services. From routine check-ups to advanced cosmetic procedures, we provide the care you need in a comfortable, friendly environment.
Why Visit the Dentist Regularly?
Your smile is one of your most valuable assets, and regular dental visits are important to protecting both your oral and overall health. When you visit us every six months, we can identify and address minor dental health issues before they develop into more serious problems. A tiny cavity detected early is much simpler and less expensive to treat than a severely damaged tooth requiring extensive restoration.
Regular professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that even the most diligent home care can miss, helping prevent bad breath and staining while keeping your smile looking its best. Many patients don’t realize that oral health is closely connected to whole-body wellness. Research has shown links between gum disease and conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues, highlighting the importance of dental care in maintaining overall health.
Preventive care is also financially wise. Investing in regular check-ups and cleanings helps you avoid costly treatments down the road. During these routine visits, we also perform oral cancer screenings and check for signs of other serious conditions. Early detection of these issues can be life-saving, as treatment is typically more successful when problems are caught in their earliest stages. At Hardin Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we see each check-up as an opportunity to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best way to protect your overall oral health. We make tooth extractions as comfortable as possible, whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth.

Cosmetic Dentistry Services
Want a more beautiful smile? Our cosmetic dentistry services in Indianapolis can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted.
Porcelain Veneers
These thin shells of porcelain can transform your smile by covering chips, cracks, gaps, and discoloration. Veneers are custom-made to match your natural teeth for a seamless smile that looks beautiful and natural.
Clear Aligners
Straighten your teeth discreetly with nearly invisible aligners. This modern alternative to traditional braces works without metal brackets or wires, making it a comfortable and convenient option for teens and adults who want to improve their smile without anyone noticing.
Dental Bonding
This affordable treatment uses tooth-colored material to repair chips, cracks, or gaps in a single visit. Bonding can be completed in just one appointment and dramatically improve the appearance of damaged or discolored teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Say goodbye to stains from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. Our professional whitening treatments are safe and provide dramatically brighter results than over-the-counter products. We offer both in-office treatments for immediate results and take-home options for your convenience.
Restorative Dentistry Services
When teeth are damaged or missing, our restorative dentistry services help bring back your smile’s function and appearance.
Dental Bridge
A bridge replaces missing teeth by connecting an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. This restores your smile, maintains proper bite alignment, and prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Dental Crown
These “caps” cover damaged teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and appearance. Our crowns are made from durable materials that look just like natural teeth while providing protection for weakened teeth.
Dental Implants
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth, implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They’re placed in the jawbone, providing a permanent foundation for replacement teeth while also helping prevent bone loss.
Dentures & Partials
For patients missing multiple teeth, full or partial dentures provide a functional and attractive solution. Today’s dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
TMJ Treatment
If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty opening and closing your mouth, you may have a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. We offer effective treatments to relieve pain and restore proper jaw function.
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Our periodontal treatments address gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis to more advanced periodontitis, helping to save your teeth and protect your overall health.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
At Hardin Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we understand that visiting the dentist can make some people feel anxious. That’s why we’ve created a warm, welcoming environment where your comfort comes first. Our gentle approach and caring team will help you feel at ease during every visit.
