Family Dentistry
Dr. Marckese is a family dentist who can meet the oral health needs of patients at any age. She can treat your entire family in one location.

Pediatric Dentistry
With training and experience in pediatric dental care, Dr. Marckese can help keep your child cavity-free. With tooth decay being a common chronic childhood disease, it is important to start bringing your child in for regular dental visits early in life. We offer many services for children, including teeth cleanings, dental fillings, and sealants.
Our goal is to keep your child’s teeth healthy and monitor their oral growth to ensure they are progressing normally. To learn more about the importance of pediatric dental care, see Pediatric Dentistry.
Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is caused by bacteria found in plaque. Plaque builds up in the mouth when regular oral hygiene habits are not followed. A diet high in sugar and starches and smoking can also lead to gum disease. Dr. Marckese offers several gum disease treatments to help patients. To learn more about the symptoms of gum disease and the periodontal therapy we offer, see Periodontal Therapy.
Sedation Dentistry
If you suffer from fear of the dentist or dental anxiety, Dr. Marckese offers sedation dentistry methods to help. Sedation dentistry can help you get through tough dental appointments. It will help you remain calm and comfortable during your entire appointment to receive the dental care you need. To learn more about the benefits of sedation dentistry, see Sedation Dentistry.
Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a conservative treatment for tooth decay. We remove all signs of decay and then fill the hole with a composite resin or porcelain material. This prevents the decay from spreading and strengthens the tooth. To learn more about the types of materials we use for white fillings, see Dental Fillings.
Tooth Extractions
There are several reasons why a person may need a tooth extracted. It could be due to tooth decay or severe damage. Dr. Marckese will always do what she can to save a tooth. But in some cases, a tooth can simply not be saved. Tooth extractions are also necessary to remove wisdom teeth and address overcrowding. To learn more about how tooth extractions work, see Tooth Extractions.
Dental Insurance Information
As part of our commitment to making your trip to the dentist easy and stress-free, we will submit all your insurance claims electronically on your behalf. We have an in-house dental insurance specialist who can answer many of your insurance questions. DentalSpa also offers third-party financing to help you budget your dental care and ensure you get the services you need.
General Dentistry FAQs
General dentistry is the foundation of our dental practice. Read the answers to these common questions about general dentistry in Indianapolis, IN.
How often should I visit the dentist?
We suggest you visit our dentist office for check-ups and cleaning every six months. These bi-annual dental visits help maintain good oral health, catch issues early, and ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy. It’s a simple way to prevent potential problems and keep your teeth bright.
What’s included in a dental check-up?
A dental check-up includes a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. Dr. Marckese will look for signs of cavities, gum disease, and any other oral health issues. She’ll also take X-rays, clean your teeth, and provide advice on maintaining good oral hygiene. It’s a complete assessment to ensure your oral health is on track.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe and a vital part of your oral health care. Our dental X-rays use a low level of radiation, and your dentist takes precautions to minimize any exposure. X-rays help us learn more about your teeth and their supporting components. They also help your dentist make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Is fluoride important for good dental health?
Fluoride is vital for good dental health. This mineral helps strengthen your teeth, making them more resistant to decay and cavities. Fluoride can be found in toothpaste, mouthwash, and even your water. It helps remineralize the outer layer of your teeth.

Our dental practice also offers cosmetic and restorative procedures. General dentists are your go-to for all your dental care needs.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
If you have a toothache, we suggest seeing us as soon as possible. Call Dr. Marckese so she can examine your mouth. In the meantime, you can rinse your mouth with warm salt water and gently floss to remove any food particles. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage the discomfort.
