About Southern Indiana Smiles

Southern Indiana Smiles is a dental practice on South Landmark Avenue in Bloomington, 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.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

I cannot recommend Dr. Castedo and his team highly enough! Dr. Castedo was incredibly caring and empathetic, taking the time to fit us in and address our needs with genuine concern. His professionalism is unmatched—he not only provided exceptional care for my son but also followed up the next day to check on him personally. That extra effort speaks volumes about how much he values his patients. His staff and dental hygienist were equally amazing—welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making the entire experience seamless and comfortable. We are beyond happy with Dr. Castedo’s work and the wonderful atmosphere his team provides. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares and delivers top-notch care, Dr. Castedo and his team are the ones to see. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone!

One word...AMAZING. From the receptionist desk with Juan who greeted me first, to the hygienist TAYLOR DECKARD. Allot of respect for her knowledge, kindness, hospitality, and getting the job done. Last but not least Dr. HUNT. Wasn't with her too long but she was ready to help and prepared for the journey of my teeth so to speak. Thank you everyone for your professionalism and work ethic!! Glad my insurance is within this network. The facility seemed organized and clean as well. Lobby area is a bit small I will say. Overall grateful and appreciative of the wonderful staff. Thank you!

This is the best dental office I have ever been to! Dr. Hunt is an amazing dentist and all the dental assistants have been fantastic too! I have had exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns and am now awaiting retainers. The work they do is top notch. My crowns are gorgeous and it’s like having brand new teeth! When I had issues with my temporary crowns causing me pain, the office was quick to respond and get me non narcotic meds that worked wonderfully. I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes past my appointment time to be seen, and sometimes have even gotten in earlier because they are highly efficient workers here. I am impressed how in sync everyone is, and they are all friendly, lively, and fun while they work! I have never ran into any issues with billing here either. They helped me maximize my dental benefits and understood my plan coverage well. I have already recommended them to others, and will continue to do so! My thanks to all the staff for a job well done! :)

Great experience for me and my toddler. It was her first ever cleaning appointment. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Taylor was wonderful with my kiddo, patiently explaining and showing everything she would do so my kid understood. Erica was also great with my kid, again explaining everything. For my turn, they clearly explained the results of my x-rays and scans, really listened to my concerns and offered a few different options for treatment plans. The cleaning was thorough, but not the overly aggressive type that I have experienced elsewhere. Probably the best dental office experience I have ever had.
