Why Fishers Patients Choose SmileCentric Over a Closer Practice
Fishers has grown fast and has good access to dental care. What it does not have, in or immediately adjacent to it, is a dedicated implant practice where the doctor trained at both the Misch Implant Institute and the Kois Center, and where All-on-Four surgery is guided by the Yomi robotic system. SmileCentric in Carmel is about 15 minutes from central Fishers via I-69, and it is built specifically around implant and cosmetic dentistry.
Fishers patients tend to research carefully before choosing a provider for major dental work. Here is the information that matters.
Dr. Louis Abukhalaf -- The Credentials Behind Every Case
Dr. Abukhalaf graduated from Loyola University Chicago (chemistry and biochemistry, summa cum laude) and Marquette Dental School (magna cum laude). His post-graduate training includes two programs designed for dentists who specialize in complex restorative and implant work: the Misch Implant Institute, which addresses surgical technique, implant biomechanics, and bone science, and the Kois Center, which addresses evidence-based restorative dentistry and occlusion.
For an All-on-Four patient, the combination matters. The Misch training addresses how four implants are placed, how they are angled to distribute arch load, and how bone responds. The Kois training addresses how the prosthesis on top of those implants should be designed, how it should function, and how it should be maintained over time.
Yomi Robotic Guidance: Why It Matters for All-on-Four
Yomi is an FDA-cleared robotic guidance system that provides real-time haptic feedback during implant placement. The system physically constrains the surgical handpiece to the pre-planned trajectory -- if the instrument moves off path, it resists the deviation. For full-arch cases where implant angulation directly affects prosthetic fit and bite function, this level of precision is clinically meaningful.
SmileCentric is one of the few practices in the Indianapolis area using Yomi. Fishers patients who want Yomi-guided placement have SmileCentric as the most convenient option.
Full-Arch Restoration: From Consult to Final Teeth
Consultation: Health history, goals discussion, digital X-rays, and 3D CBCT scan where indicated. You leave with a candidacy assessment, timeline overview, and pricing. Free, no obligation.
Planning: Dr. Abukhalaf designs your case digitally before surgery -- implant positions, angles, and provisional prosthesis design. Same-day-teeth eligibility is determined here.
Surgery: Yomi guides implant placement. Sedation options include nitrous oxide. Most eligible patients leave with provisional same-day teeth.
Final Prosthesis: After osseointegration, your permanent custom arch is fabricated and delivered across several fitting appointments.
Maintenance: Professional cleaning schedule and periodic check-ins.

Fishers Patient Questions
How do I know if I am a candidate for All-on-Four versus traditional implants? Candidacy depends on bone density and volume, jaw anatomy, and overall health. All-on-Four uses angled implants to work with less bone than traditional implants require, making it suitable for more patients. Dr. Abukhalaf reviews this at the consultation with your 3D CBCT scan data.
What materials are used for the prosthetic arch? Provisional arches are typically acrylic. Final prostheses can be zirconia, zirconia-fused-to-titanium, or acrylic-on-titanium, each with different aesthetics, durability, and cost profiles. Dr. Abukhalaf discusses the options based on your case and priorities.
Is the procedure painful? Most patients report that post-surgical discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter medication. The surgery itself is performed under local anesthesia, with sedation available. Patients typically describe the first few days as uncomfortable rather than significantly painful.
