Afdent

Afdent is a well-established dental practice with a history spanning over 40 years, originating in South Bend, Indiana, with Dr. Roger Pecina's vision for "Affiliated Family Dentists." This vision emphasized patient-first care, regardless of financial or dental history. Over time, the name was shortened to Afdent, and the practice expanded to include a second location in Fort Wayne, becoming one of the first dental practices in the U.S. to operate beyond a single office. Today, Afdent operates a "campus" in the South Bend/Mishawaka area with three distinct buildings for general practice, orthodontics, and surgery/emergency care, and a three-story facility in Fort Wayne.
