Found this dentist looking for someone my son would do well with since he had a bad experience with his past pediatric dentist. Even after the dental work he had to get done he still enjoys going. When he use to cry going to his past one. We even received a phone call from the Dr checking on Isaiah to make sure he was doing well! So now all four of my kids are going. Just recently took my 4 year old for her first appointment and she was comfortable and did so well! I definitely recommend for your family dentist!

I had a root canal today and I’m not going to lie. I was extremely nervous about my appointment BUT Dr Pauley was great from getting me numb all the way through the actual procedure! I felt absolutely NOTHING! His assistant Kenzie was fun and Madelyn the assistant that finished up the appointment was quick and efficient! She’s very particular and passionate about her work. Very good experience! Hopefully no more root canals for me but this experience was a very good one!! ❤️

Let me start off by saying how much I hate going to have dental work done...just like most everyone else. But the people at Monrovia Family Dentistry make everything seem easy for their patients. They put together a plan...do what they say they are going to do...and follow through until completion. Very little pain...more like discomfort actually. The BEST experience I have ever had with a dentist office in my 63 years.More work to do in the plan to get me where I want to be. But instead of dreading going back...they have made this such a great experience for me that I am actually looking forward to going back to get my plan completed.BIG THANKS to Dr. Mark Sanford and his wonderful staff!! I appreciate each and every one of you!!

We moved to the Monrovia area three years ago from Indianapolis. The drive to my previous DDS was approximately an hour from our new home so I chose Monrovia Family Dentistry. My first visit was a pleasant experience. The staff was very courteous. The oral hygienist was thorough and gentle. DDS Sanford was thorough and explained the results of his exam.

I'm a relatively new patient of 2 yrs. They're always welcoming, friendly & explanatory. They sincerely work with the patient to accommodate their individual needs and/or wantsI recently had abrupt nerve pain. They got me in to see Dr. Sanford within a days time. He knew the exact treatment to hold off the pain until I was able to see the specialist they partner with who performs route canals.I'd highly recommend giving the office a try. The atmosphere & staff is still the small hometown quality feel 🙂

Love coming into the office! I called several offices due to my wisdom teeth bothering me. They were able to get me right in and immediately gave me a referral to an equally amazing oral surgeon. After healing went back to get a couple fillings. They did amazing, I was in and out within an hour. And the ladies are always just so sweet and accommodating. They have my forever business!Thank you Monrovia Family Dental Team!

I’ve been using Mr. S for probably going on 8 years. He and his staff are the absolute nicest folks. He isn’t one to overcharge you for something you don’t need. He has even worked with us with his in house packages of dental care when we didn’t have insurance. I HIGHLY recommend these folks!

These are the nicest people ever. They understand that people are scared and they go slow. I highly recommend them. If you struggle with your teeth and you’ve been on the fence about going to the dentist for whatever reason, I strongly encourage you to call this dentist and just make an appointment to talk to them. It’s very scary but the outcome is the end goal and you need to do this for yourself. It can change your life in such a positive and beautiful way. And out of all the Dentists I’ve ever visited, this is the only one where I didn’t feel judged at all and I left feeling calm and peaceful and happy that I visited. They do great work!

My hygienist, Natalie, is super professional. I can trust that she will do a great cleaning followed by a check up with Dr. Sanford. He's the best!

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 the heart of Monrovia, Indiana on SR 42 at 253 W Main St, Monrovia, IN 46157. We are next to the Subway restaurant and conveniently just a few miles 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.
