About

“I chose dentistry as my life’s work because I have the privilege to serve people in a way that is truly life-changing. I was honored with the appointment by Indianapolis Woman Magazine as Makeover Dentist 2008. I graduated from Indiana University with a Doctor of Dental Science degree in 1984, where I had made the decision to choose a path which combined my biological science background with my ability to skillfully use my hands. Dentistry seemed to be the perfect match. Since opening my first practice in Fishers, Indiana, Really Smile has evolved into one which is not a typical dental practice. It was important to me to provide advanced care in a personalized setting while constantly upgrading my skills and base of knowledge. I have trained with Niles Guichet, DDS, Lawrence Funt, DDS, and most recently with the Las Vegas Institute (LVI). LVI enjoys a worldwide reputation as the premier postgraduate dental teaching center. It provides training for the finest and most progressive dentists. This association has afforded me the great privilege of providing proactive, rather than reactive, dental care. I take great satisfaction in this work. I am a long time resident of the Indianapolis area. I have a wonderful wife, Julie, and 2 children, a daughter who is a public health promotions major at Purdue and a son who is a recent graduate of West Point and a field artillery officer in the Army. I have coached youth baseball and basketball teams in Fishers and have served on the Board for the Cathedral-Chatard High School Hockey program. I am an Eagle Scout who still loves the outdoors. My free time is spent with my family, playing tennis and golf and reading. I consider myself to be among the chosen few in life who truly love what they do. These programs combined expertise in the area of head and neck pain treatment, along with restoring the patient back to ideal dental health.” Associations: Dr. David A.

The single worst experience I have had at a dentist. He did a root canal and various fillings. On arriving at my appointment he told me they ran out of nitrous and asked if I was OK without it. He didn't tell me I would be in the chair for 5 hours. I was a mess afterward. I did not go back and went back to my traditional dentist. When I told her about the experience she took new X-rays to compare to the old ones and told me a lot of the work he did was unnecessary and strictly cosmetic (replacing silver fillings). She also told me he had a reputation for providing unnecessary services in the Indy community. Stay away at all costs!

I have been a patient of Dr. Smith for almost a year & I can honestly say that he has changed my life for the better. I was suffering terribly from TMJ migraines & as soon as I started treatment, I began to see results. He and his staff are amazing and truly care about the well-being of their patients. They have gone out of their way multiple times to make sure that I was pain-free and always check-in with me after an adjustment to make sure I am doing well. I couldn't imagine going to anyone el

He is very kind and polite, but his neuromuscular treatment has had a negative effect on my pain. I learned later, that his ideas are not based on science. If you are looking for help in TMJ, I suggest the Orofacial Pain Clinic at the University of Kentucky.

I have been a patient of Dr Smith’s for 17 years, and he is the only dentist that I will see. I have lots of dental anxiety from a bad experience with a dentist when I was in college.Dr Smith has always been kind and confident with me in regards to easing past this other experience for my dental care with his office. His staff is great. He is knowledgeable and helpful. I trust and enjoy his care/staff so much that I have continued to drive to him 5 yrs after we moved out of state 3hrs away!

Our daughter was referred to Dr Smith to see if she might have TMJ because she had chronic headaches. He told her “I can fix you”. After multiple tests, appointments, mouth guard, and over $7000 her headaches increased from 12-15 a month to daily. She talked to him multiple times about the increase and he made one excuse after another. 8+ months of appointments and countless hours wasted. A second opinion from a neurologist and TMJ was nowhere in diagnosis. I would never recommend him to anyone
