Welcoming my new colleague to the practice, my son Dr. David Van Winkle. David graduated from Cathedral High School in 2013 and Indiana University-Bloomington in 2017. David went on to attend Indiana University School of Dentistry where he decided to pursue further training in periodontics. David completed his periodontology residency at the University of Detroit Mercy School Of Dentistry in June of this year. He has since joined our practice as of July 8^th 2024. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

I want to assure you that I have the utmost confidence in Dr. David’s clinical abilities, rapport with patients, and commitment to providing the highest level of care. He is excited to form relationships with my existing patients and welcome new patients to our practice.

In his free time David enjoys traveling with his wife Carly, working on home improvement projects, and playing golf with his friends, family and colleagues.Dr. David is an active member of the American Dental Association, Indiana Dental Association, Indianapolis District Dental Society and the American Academy of Periodontology.

As for me, my golf game could always be better but I am not embarrassed about it. My wife Ellie and I are adjusting to becoming “empty nesters” as our twin daughters went off to college in North Carolina and Ohio. I am an active pilot and always seeking new locations to travel to. On a serious note, I don’t want anyone to think I am getting ready to retire; I am simply enjoying the practice that I have built and look forward to working alongside my son. I anticipate many more years ahead!

Thank you for your continued support!

Drs. Kurt and David Van Winkle

I had four surgeries this year (2024). All went very smoothly, painlessly, and successfully. Dr. Kurt and his staff are fantastic and go to great lengths to make the patient feel comfortable and knowledgable. I highly recommend this dental practice. They are awesome

Very friendly and professional staff, talented hygienists, and excellent periodontist. Hanna who was filling in for my regular hygienist was friendly, professional and thorough. I've "never" had a bad experience at Dr. Van Winkles practice, and would not hesitate referring family, or friends.

Staff very professional and personable. With Dr. Van Winkle pulled together a reasonable and workable treatment plan to deal with the teeth involved. I left with a a portfolio and plan of care. Hoping the intervention date of May, 2025 can be moved to an earlier date.

I had an infected molar that needed to be removed. I have had a great number of dental procedures in my life—impacted wisdom teeth and a large number of root canals (including some teeth that needed two treatments). As a result, I have experienced endodontists and oral surgeons in a number of different US cities. Dr. Van Winkle oversees a very busy practice and I completely understand why my dentist referred me to him. The environment of the office is simply reassuring as you see many treatment rooms in use. He has a very reassuring presence. A first rate experience.

I had an implant placed, and Dr. Van Winkle was so patient to make sure I was not in any pain and did an amazing job. It was a quick procedure, and not has bad as I thought considering I had been putting it off for 10 years because I was afraid. I am glad I finally did it and highly recommend coming here!Also, everyone in the office was so kind and friendly! I really enjoyed being here and everyone who helped me- including the front desk receptionist who really sets the tone for the office in my opinion.

As always, I had a superb care at Dr. Van Winkle's office. The dental hygienist was very knowledgeable, she examined me thoroughly and provided me with best advice on how to take care of my teethes in order to avoid periodontal disease.

This was my first visit and was a referral from my dentist. The staff was extremely courteous with smiles all around, made me feel a little less uncomfortable (it's a periodontics appointment, after all!). I'm not good with names, but the dental assistant who took xrays was friendly and shared a lot about what she was doing and why. same with the hygienist who did the initial exam. Very knowledgeable and spoke in terms I could understand. Don't misunderstand me, the exam was a little uncomfortable, but not unnecessarily so. Dr. Van Winkle spent more time with me than I expected and explained several options for treatment. He was candid and shared what he would do in my position, but then suggested that I should probably take a more conservative approach (which seemed a little less scary at the time). He was thoughtful, thorough and completely professional. Everyone worked together to put me at ease. I left the office with a plan in place that I felt confident about.

Dr Van Winkle, Debbie and all of the ladies there are wonderful. I've had several procedures done in this office and I have never had a bad experience. While I do not enjoy going to the dentist, I do enjoy visiting Dr Van Winkle's office. He and his staff make it a great experience. They always have your best interests in mind and make you comfortable as possible.
