A well established and reputable dental practice, Snyder Dental Associates is dedicated to providing the most innovative general family dentistry in Indianapolis, Indiana and the surrounding area. The practice has grown over several decades to employ friendly, skilled team members with expertise across the foundational services that sustain dental health.

The basic principle of treating others how you want to be treated is a philosophy Dr. Snyder truly believes in and has carried into her practice of dentistry. This profession allows her to combine her passion of science and art with her love of working with people. She welcomes all in her dental family and gets much satisfaction out of the relationship and friendships that have developed over the years. Although going to the dentist can be thought of as a negative experience, she hopes her patients walk away feeling they had a little bit of fun.

A long time Indiana resident, Dr. Snyder graduated from Ball State University in 1991 with a Pre-Dental and Biology Major. In 1995, she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Indiana University School of Dentistry.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.  

On a more personal note, Dr. Snyder and her husband reside in Carmel with their two children and two dogs. In her free time, she enjoys being with her family & exploring the outdoors. She loves traveling, especially if it involves putting her feet in the sand.
