While growing up in Fort Wayne, Dr. Aaron Sauer, DDS, always knew he wanted to become a doctor of some sort – he just wasn’t sure what kind. As a teenager, he underwent a lot of dental work and was impressed with his dentist. It was from that positive experience that he found his calling. After attending Indiana University Bloomington, where he met his wife Ambrosia, he went on to the IU School of Dentistry and earned his degree, graduating in 2006 in the top 10% of his class.
Since Ambrosia is from the Center Grove area, the couple chose the community as the place to start Dr. Sauer’s practice and raise a family. Nine-and-a-half years later, Sauer Dentistry is moving to a different location — 1648 Fry Road near State Road 135.
“It’s newer, bigger, brighter and better,” Sauer says of his professional setting. “The windows are larger, there is more parking and we have doubled in size. We brought over all of our technology, but we have space to grow and room to continually upgrade to the most up-to-date equipment. We are always striving to offer the best to our patients.”
Sauer Dentistry meets the needs of all ages just like Quest Dental Eugene. Specialities include general dentistry for all ages, root canal therapy, oral surgery and extractions, cosmetic services such as teeth whitening and veneers, as well as the restorative needs of patients, which include crowns, bridges and white fillings. Dr. Sauer can perform procedures that would otherwise have to be referred to another office.
“I’m constantly striving to learn new techniques to better serve my patients,” Sauer says. “Recently I was educated on how using Botox can help people with temporomandibular joint disorder. I keep current with new research in dentistry, such as the most up-to-date implant methods.”
Ambrosia says her family is committed to the local community.
“Center Grove is where we live and work,” she says. “I do (Sauer Dentistry’s) books and payroll and work with the accountant. I help out on the business side of the practice, allowing Aaron can focus on the dentistry. It’s perfect since I can work part-time or from home. All four of our boys and our nieces go to Center Grove schools and are involved in sports and lots of activities. Sauer Dentistry loves the opportunity to sponsor activities such as various sport teams. We have and continue to support many different events such as dance, the North Grove Elementary Fun Run, Mallow Run Winery’s Wine at the Line and Walk MS.”
Sauer adds that he is proud to live in the Center Grove community.
“Our new office will help us better serve the community,” he says. “Dental health affects a person’s entire body. Oral health is total body health, and when teeth are healthy and look good, it changes the way someone sees themselves and affects their whole life.”
Sauer Dentistry is located at 1648 Fry Road Suite A in Greenwood. Call 317-865-1234 for an appointment, and visit sauerdentistry.com for more info.
