Amazing Dental Experiences in Warsaw

Kitt H., Warsaw, IN

“I'm currently wearing Invisalign aligners to straighten all my teeth so that I can then crown my front teeth before they break from grinding. Only part way through my treatment plan and Invisalign has noticeably improved my alignment. The aligners feel tight for two days or so but not painfully. I wear the aligners for two weeks and then onto the next set. I would recommend Dr. Rudolph and his team to anyone who needs dental work.”

Mariann P., Leesburg, IN

“Dr. Rudolph is the best dentist I have ever experienced. He is patient, calm and very organized. I felt he genuinely cares and does everything he can to be sure he does the best work for you and that you have a pleasant experience. His office is full of the latest dental technology. He explained everything he was doing and I felt very at ease.”

Kim F., Pierceton, IN

“Dr. Rudolph and his Team are all very knowledgeable and comforting. Let's face it, going to the dentist isn't fun and most would say they hate going to the dentist...You are in good hands at East Center Dental because they strive to always put patients first and they put the "extra" in extraordinary!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Selecting a new dentist is an important decision, and one that sometimes comes with a lot of questions. Here are a few common questions patients like you ask us, and their answers. If you don’t see yours listed, please feel free to reach out to our friendly office team for further assistance.

How do I get emergency dental care?

The first step in obtaining emergency dental care is to call East Center Dental as soon as possible and let one of our friendly staff members assist you. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 immediately.

Most hospital emergency rooms, mobile clinics, and urgent care centers are not equipped to handle dental emergencies, and thus if you go there first you are unlikely to be treated.

In most cases, we can accommodate same-day appointments.  We also offer sedation options for patients who are afraid of treatment.

For assistance, please call us first and let us help you.  We can be reached at 574-269-1787.

Remember, dental emergencies are often preventable and an important indicator of larger dental issues. They are also a sign that it may be time to get back into the habit of regular dental visits. These check-ups can not only save you time and money, but also your natural teeth!

How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Warsaw?

The cost of a dental check-up and cleaning can vary depending on geography and other factors, including the condition of your individual oral health.

A check-up and cleaning should begin with a patient health history and discussion of your questions and concerns. It should also include a thorough examination completed by your dentist, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening.

The average cost of this type of appointment in markets across the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have dental insurance, the fees for your check-up and cleaning (including any out-of-pocket copays) are negotiated with us by your insurance company.

How many dentists are there in Warsaw?

There are 41 dentists located in Warsaw, IN. Dr. Mike Rudolph has been practicing right here in town for over 15 years and has enjoyed getting to know his patients and members of the community. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology from the University of Maryland, and his dental degree from the Maryland School of Dentistry before servicing in the US Navy for seven years.

Today, Dr. Rudolph is a proud and active member of the Kosciusko County Dental Society, Indiana Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. He can’t wait to meet you and your family and help you protect your oral health for a lifetime!

What level of education is required to be a dentist?

Here in the United States, all dentists must earn either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) from one of the nation’s 67 accredited dental schools.

Acceptance into any dental school requires a bachelor's degree and very high grades in a major heavy in math and science.

Dental school is an additional three years, with a combination of both classroom and hands-on education.

Following dental school, some dentists choose to continue their education by earning one of 12 specializations recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). These require another three or more years of dental school education.

Following graduation, all dentists are required to complete a complete a certain number of continuing education hours in order to maintain their license to practice dentistry.
