About Lafayette Family Dental
Lafayette Family Dental is a dental practice on North 26th Street in Lafayette, Indiana. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.
Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.
A family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.
Crowns and bridges are fixed restorations — a crown covers a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the crowns of the teeth on either side. Both commonly last a decade or more with routine care.
A filling repairs a tooth after decay has been cleaned out, most often using tooth-coloured composite resin that is shaped and bonded to blend with the surrounding tooth. It is usually completed in a single appointment and is one of the most routine restorative procedures in dentistry.
Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.

Danielle is wonderful! She was very personable as soon as I walked in the door, and it was a lot of fun getting to know her during my appointment. She did a fantastic job and I look forward to working with her again.
Update 2024: All these years later and still think they are great! Danielle is an awesome and thorough hygienist. Had to go for specialized treatment to another dentist. I had that same office do all my dental work for a time and could not wait to get back to Dr. Suh and Danielle. A calm, relaxing, and affordable visit always awaits. Review from 5+ years prior: Danielle is an awesome hygienist, I look forward to her cleaning my teeth (she is thorough and very gentle). As well I really enjoy our chats. Dr. Suh is a hoot, always fun to talk to, and an excellent dentist! Having had some horrible experiences (as a child, here locally and in the USN), I used to only go to the dentist when I was desperate. Once I started seeing Dr. Suh and Danielle, all that changed. I now go every 6 months and am secure in knowing I will not be taken advantage of, and my dental health is very well addressed. All the gals in the office are the absolute nicest. I would highly recommend this practice. LAMetzger
The best dentist in the state!
I had my second filling appointment at Lafayette Family Dental two weeks ago, and let me just tell you- I had a downright good time. After my first appointment, I was LOOKING FORWARD to coming back because I had so much fun getting my teeth drilled! 😂 Dr. Suh is so personable and funny, and the entire staff is friendly and encouraging. Belinda at the front desk, and the hygienists I worked with (I believe Melissa and Casey!) also made my experience SO great. Look no further, because THIS is the dentist office you're looking for! Super excited to go back for my cleaning in six months!
Dr. Suh and her staff are on-time, friendly and knowledgeable. They have always been understanding of family needs and work with busy schedules, crying babies and unexpected tooth pain. Dr. Suh is even took a quick break to pose for a selfie with my 9 year-old! Can't get much more family friendly than that.
Dr Suh and her staff are amazing. They are always friendly and running on time which is very important with my busy schedule. Danielle is my hygienist and she does a great job with my teeth. I actually enjoy going to the dentist and look forward to my visits.
