Dr. Jessica Barton

Dr. Jessica Barton grew up in Kendallville, Indiana, and always knew she wanted to be part of the medical field. In high school, she participated in a program that allowed her to shadow professionals in various areas of medicine, including doctors' offices, chiropractors, physical therapy, surgeries, and a dental office. She immediately fell in love with the ability to help fix people’s smiles and change their perception of dentistry, and has made it her life’s mission to do so.

Dr. Barton completed her undergraduate degree at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). She then attended Indiana University School of Dentistry, where she earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery. For the next three years, she served in the United States Air Force as a dentist before settling in Indianapolis to continue practicing dentistry.
‍
One of her favorite aspects of being a dentist and running her own practice is the opportunity to change people's preconceptions about dentistry. She believes that patients shouldn’t be worried about pain or being uncomfortable while work is being done to improve their health. She's shaped her dental practice around keeping her patients completely at ease during their visits.

When she’s not in the office, Dr. Barton enjoys spending time with her husband, Matt, and their two little boys, Archer and Everett. You may also find her hiking, traveling, and studying up on the latest trends in interior design.
