Afdent Dental Services

Afdent Dental Services, often referred to simply as "Afdent," is a prominent dental clinic that has been serving Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan for over 40 years. Founded by Dr. Roger Pecina in 1977 under the original name "Affiliated Family Dentists," the clinic was built on the philosophy of providing patient-first care to everyone in the community, regardless of their dental or financial history. Afdent has grown significantly since its inception, expanding from a small house to multiple locations, including a large campus in the South Bend/Mishawaka area and a multi-story facility in Fort Wayne. They are recognized nationally within the dental industry for their unique approach to "Patient Friendly Dentistry." The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, ensuring that most, if not all, of a patient's dental needs can be met in one convenient location. These services include: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and preventive care. Orthodontics: Braces and clear aligners (like Invisalign) for smile correction. Dental Implants: Solutions for missing teeth, including mini dental implants. Denture Services: Full mouth dentures and other prosthetic options. Emergency Dental Care: Prompt treatment for urgent dental issues. Smile Makeovers: Cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening and veneers. Oral Surgery: Including wisdom teeth extraction. Sleep Apnea Treatment: Addressing dental aspects of sleep disorders. Anti-Aging Treatments: Beyond traditional dentistry, they also offer aesthetic treatments like PRP injections and dermal fillers. Afdent emphasizes patient accessibility and comfort. They accept most PPO dental insurances but also cater to patients without insurance, offering simple in-house monthly payment plans. Their commitment to patient care is reflected in numerous positive testimonials and their recognition as a "Best of Best / Reader's Choice Winner" multiple times. Dr. Pecina remains actively involved, along with a team of over 20 associate dentists and close to 300 dental and customer service professionals. Afdent also plays an active role in community support, partnering with various local organizations. While the provided address is for Highland, IN, Afdent's primary web presence and BBB profiles indicate their main locations are in Mishawaka and Fort Wayne, Indiana. It's possible the Highland address refers to a specific practitioner affiliated with the broader Afdent network or an older listing. The core brand, however, operates out of the Mishawaka and Fort Wayne areas.
