My teeth decided to fall apart, all at once. I needed a dentist. So I opened the phone book, closed my eyes and pointed...just kidding. My insurance found me Monrovia Family Dentist. I've never looked forward to sitting in a dentist chair. But being a necessity, made myself go. My teeth were HORRIBLE. I was embarrassed to smile. My first appointment everyone that worked there put me at ease. Their kindness floored me! Every single staff member, went out of their way to make sure I was OK. They talked to me as if I was part of their family. And that is what they are there....family. They make sure you are comfortable, at ease, and that you feel no pain. They tell hilarious stories. Ask questions to get to know you. And most importantly? THEY ARE AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO! I have one more appointment to go until my smile is completely back. All 3 dentists I've seen and dental assistants have magic hands. My teeth look INCREDIBLE!!!!! I can't wait until my smile is complete. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Monrovia Family Dentistry.

I recently switched my dentist to Monrovia Family Denistry, I had a tooth ache and was able to be seen the same day I called. I have pretty bad anxiety about the dentist but the girls and the dentist have made me feel comfortable and at ease when I go. I can honestly say I think I've found my forever dentist!

As someone with severe dental anxiety, I was hesitant to get a filling redone that had fallen out. Dr. Hopen and Ashley were so patient and kind. They took the time to explain the procedure to me and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. This was by far the best dental experience that I have had. I’m not nervous to go back the next time.

This is an absolutely excellent organization, and 99% of the reason is our hygienist, Lauren. She does such great work that we drive 40 minutes to see her, and it's truly a family practice: she takes great care of me, my wife AND my kiddos! Can't recommend her highly enough.

Monrovia Family Dentistry with Dr. Sanford is fantastic. They not only took care of me in an emergency but also made my daughter's first cleaning a breeze. Lauren, the hygienist, was amazing with kids, making her feel at ease. Plus, the surprise at the end for being brave was a nice touch. I also appreciated the multiple follow up/check up called from Dr. Sanford himself! He truly cares about his patients! Highly recommend!

Dental Implants and Tooth Whitening

Dental implants can work seamlessly with whitening procedures to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. After the dental implant process is complete and the crown has been placed, it’s important to note that the restoration will not whiten with a teeth whitening procedure. To ensure that your natural teeth and the implant crown match in color, whitening beforehand and then maintaining regular whitening treatments can create a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile. It is essential to consult your dentist to determine the best approach for whitening that will be safe and effective for both your natural teeth and the implant crown. By coordinating dental implants with whitening procedures, you can achieve a radiant and harmonious smile.

Dr Mark Sanford with His FamilyBorn in a small town outside of Indianapolis, Dr. Mark Sanford, DDS and staff provide comprehensive general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics to patients of all ages. A graduate of Indiana University School of Dentistry, Dr. Sanford takes great pride in his Indiana heritage, and enjoys working with fellow Hoosiers.

Monrovia Family Dentistry is located in Monrovia, Indiana at 2875 W Broderie Ln, Monrovia, IN 46157. We are next to the Fraberg’s Foods south of exit #59 off I-70.

Passionate about dentistry, Dr. Sanford is an avid member of many leading professional dental organizations, and is committed to staying up to date with the latest trends in dentistry. Such organizations include American Dental Association (ADA), American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), Indiana Dental Association (IDA), Indiana District Dental Society (IDDS), and Indiana Association of Orthodontists (IAO).

We are also fully accredited members of the Better Business Bureau meeting their accreditation standards with an A+ rating.

Monrovia Family Dentistry OperatoryAs a family dental practice, we are able to keep our patients teeth and gums healthy by scheduling regular, preventative visits, as well as handle a wide variety dental related issues to get our patients oral health fully restored. Our goal during every patient interaction is to keep your mouth healthy and you happy!

There are several possible issues that can cause discomfort or dissatisfaction with a tooth. Our state-of-the-art dental x-ray technology will allow us to make a well-informed, evidence based diagnosis, inhibiting over treatment. Once our diagnosis is made, we share these results and information with the patient, so that he/she understands not only what dental treatment is recommended, but also why we are recommending those dental services.

Sometimes a tooth can be restored to it’s near-optimal form by removing the decay and placing a tooth colored filling, essentially rebuilding the tooth. If too much of the tooth structure is gone by decay and/or trauma, it may need to have a dental crown and root canal. In addition and in some instances, new decay can develop around an old, metal or composite fillings. We are able to remove the decay, and replace those old fillings with tooth colored ones, which can be much more aesthetically pleasing.

If the tooth can’t be salvaged and restored, or the patient elects to have it removed, an extraction would be necessary. Please keep in mind that once a tooth is removed, it’s best to replace that missing tooth with a dental implant, dental bridge, or partial/full denture. By replacing the tooth, you prevent the other teeth from drifting into the open space which can cause numerous other dental issues.

If there are certain aspects of your smile that you are not happy with, we can help!

Cosmetic dental services such as dental veneers, teeth whitening, and dental bonding can dramatically enhance one’s smile, and give that patient a “Hollywood” style smile. Even orthodontics can have a dramatic, positive effect on a person’s smile by making the teeth straighter and more aligned.

We understand that some people haven’t been to the dentist in a long time. We promise we won’t judge you. Life happens. If it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a dentist, chances are that you may have gums issues that are more involved than just a regular cleaning. If this is the case, you may need certain periodontal services which we will inform you of and gladly provide. Healthy gums are a critical foundation for healthy teeth and happy smile.

We all know that friend or family member who covers their mouth when they laugh, mostly due to the lack of confidence with his/her smile. There is hope, and we can help.

Using the latest restorative or cosmetic dental services, Dr. Sanford can help you achieve your ideal smile, which can have a positive impact on your self-confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
