Meet Dr. Dunn

I feel blessed to be in a profession where I interact with people the way I do. Being an orthodontist allows me to build real relationships with patients and families during treatment.

Southern Indiana is a tight-knit community, and I enjoy getting to know so many people through the practice. Real, personal connections are forged as we move beyond patient and provider and build a rapport. I often see former and current patients and families around town and at community gatherings: they greet me as a friend and that means the world to me.

I also enjoy the process of orthodontics, itself. Watching teeth gradually move, and the accompanying change in the individual’s appearance, inspires me. As someone sees their smile change, their self-esteem blossoms and they gain confidence throughout treatment. By the time we’re finished, they are ready to take on the world with their new smile!
