Fortville residents looking for a dentist who specializes in dental implants and cosmetic dentistry often consider a drive to SmileCentric in Carmel. The office is about 22 miles west of Fortville, a trip most patients complete in under 30 minutes along IN-67 and US-431. For patients who want access to specialist-level training and technology not typically found at a general dental practice, the drive is straightforward and worth it.

Who Are We?

Serving Fortville Families from Carmel's Premier Dental Practice

SmileCentric is a general, cosmetic, and implant dental practice located at 14560 River Rd, Suite 105, Carmel, IN 46033. The practice serves patients from across central Indiana, including families and individuals from Fortville and Hancock County who want access to a higher level of cosmetic and implant expertise than a local general dentist typically provides.

Meet Dr. Louis Abukhalaf

Dr. Louis Abukhalaf leads care at SmileCentric. His academic foundation began with a degree in chemistry and biochemistry from Loyola University Chicago, where he graduated summa cum laude. He went on to earn his dental degree from Marquette University School of Dentistry, graduating magna cum laude.

After dental school, Dr. Abukhalaf continued his education at two of the most respected post-graduate institutions in dentistry. He is a graduate of the Misch Implant Institute, widely recognized as one of the world's leading training programs for implant surgery. He is also a graduate of the Kois Center in Seattle, a prestigious continuing education program focused on cosmetic dentistry, occlusion, and comprehensive care. These credentials place Dr. Abukhalaf in a distinct training tier that most general dentists have not pursued.

  "Patients from Fortville and the surrounding communities come to us because they want access to specialty-level care without leaving central Indiana. The training I've received through Misch and Kois, combined with the Yomi system, means we can offer a level of precision in implant and cosmetic dentistry that is hard to find anywhere nearby." - Dr. Louis Abukhalaf (quote subject to provider review before publication)

 

Why Choose Us?

Robotic-Guided Implants with the Yomi System

SmileCentric uses the Yomi Implant System, a robotic-guidance platform for dental implant placement. The Yomi system provides real-time surgical guidance throughout the implant procedure, allowing Dr. Abukhalaf to follow a precisely pre-planned digital path with submillimeter accuracy. This means less chair time, a more predictable outcome, and a faster recovery compared to freehand placement. For patients in Fortville who have been considering implants and want the most accurate procedure available in the region, Yomi is a meaningful advantage.

Cosmetic Dentistry Through the Kois Center Framework

The Kois Center trains dentists to approach cosmetic cases with the same diagnostic rigor as complex restorative work. This means Dr. Abukhalaf evaluates your bite, gum health, and bone structure before recommending veneers, whitening, or a full smile makeover. Results last longer because they start with the right foundation.

Where Are We?

How Far Is SmileCentric from Fortville?

From central Fortville, head west on Broadway Street and take IN-67 West toward Mt. Comfort. From there, connect to I-70 West, then follow US-431 North (Michigan Road) toward Carmel. SmileCentric is located on River Road, Suite 105, just west of US-431 in Carmel. The drive is approximately 22 miles and typically takes 25 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. Patients from Fortville who have traveled for implant consultations and cosmetic work report that the experience at SmileCentric is well worth the distance.
