The Advantages of Choosing Our Elkhart Dentistry Practice

Sedation Options

Dental procedures can be nerve-wracking. Our team will keep you at ease throughout the process with our calm demeanor. If you need additional help to stay comfortable, we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.

Exceptional Training

Patients trust our dentist, Dr. Watkins, for his exceptional training. Dr. Watkins studied with the International Dental Implant Association, where he achieved diplomat-level training — the most advanced distinction possible at that prestigious organization.

Advanced Technology

Our practice pairs patient-centered care with advanced technology. This partnership has several key advantages, like crafting in-office same-day crowns with a CEREC machine and finding oral cancer with the Sapphire Lesion Detection system.

Pick a Dentist You Can Trust for All Your Dental Needs

Many patients struggle as they search for a dentist. And, even if they find one that they trust, they may still have to keep looking if that dentist doesn't provide each type of service that they need.

When you visit our dental office, though, you can find a comprehensive spectrum of services, ranging from general, to cosmetic, to restorative. We also take the time to build a relationship with you, so that you can truly trust us with your smile.

Our dental practice has served patients throughout the state of Indiana since 2002. If you're ready to see why they love our Elkhart team, contact us online anytime or call

A Patient's View Of Our Elkhart Office

Watkins Family Dentistry: Look no more. This is where you want your care. Not only is Dr Watkins incredibly knowledgeable, he also works hard to help you understand the care you need and why. The staff is rare. Every single employee I have been in contact with goes above and beyond to make me feel so welcomed. You truly matter to them. I’ve been to 8 dentists since 2006. I’ve tried so many and have been dissatisfied, disappointed and charged outrageous amounts, I’ve also gotten work done that did more damage. He has managed to heal and recover all the errors other dentists made. No one comes close to the care I receive at Watkins. Sarah Olsen

Considering Your Options? We Accept Financing

Not all dentistry treatments are eligible for insurance, even if we are in the network for your plan. If you want to see if we're in-network before you plan an appointment, contact us.

It may help to know that regardless of the answer, you have a second option: financing. We accept CareCredit®, which lets you pay for your treatment over time.
