Who Are We?

Dentist Near New Palestine | SmileCentric East

SmileCentric East is at 115 N Shortridge Rd, Suite 200, in Indianapolis, about 20 to 25 minutes from New Palestine via US-52 West to I-465 North. Many New Palestine and Hancock County patients come to us because access to a cosmetic or implant dentist closer to home is limited. If you need more than a basic cleaning, making the drive to a dentist with specialist-level training is worth it.

Meet Dr. Louis Abukhalaf

Dr. Louis Abukhalaf leads care at SmileCentric East. He graduated magna cum laude from Marquette University School of Dentistry and summa cum laude from Loyola University Chicago. His postgraduate training includes the Misch Implant Institute and the Kois Center, programs that focus specifically on implant placement and advanced restorative and cosmetic dentistry. If you are considering implants, veneers, or a smile makeover, his background directly applies to your needs.

One of Dr. Abukhalaf's most requested procedures among patients from Hancock County and the New Palestine area is full-mouth rehabilitation — a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses multiple dental issues at once rather than spreading care across years of separate appointments. A recent patient from New Palestine came in having avoided the dentist for nearly a decade due to anxiety and significant tooth loss. Over the course of treatment, Dr. Abukhalaf placed multiple implants using the Yomi robotic system for precise positioning, restored the upper arch with porcelain crowns, and delivered a complete smile transformation that the patient described as life-changing. No referrals, no driving to multiple offices — everything handled at SmileCentric East from the first consultation to the final result.
