Dr. Alicia Neidlinger, DDS

Watch Dr. Alicia Neidlinger during an exam and you will notice she keeps turning the monitor toward you. That habit says most of what you need to know about her. She would rather you see the crack, the shadow, the worn edge, than take her word for it, and she will tell you the reasoning behind every recommendation before she asks you to decide anything.

The curiosity is not new. She had braces herself, fell for the whole process, and spent her appointments asking her dentist questions about how a good smile actually gets built. Science, hands-on work, and artistry, all in one job. She has never really stopped seeing dentistry that way, as a clinical discipline and an art form at the same time, and she uses both halves to improve lives one smile at a time.

She earned her degree at Indiana University School of Dentistry, and she pairs current technology with an unhurried, patient-centered approach. A cleaning, a crown, a full smile makeover: the plan gets built around your goals, your schedule, and how much you can comfortably take on in one sitting.

Precision under pressure is something of a theme with her. Dr. Neidlinger twirls baton, and she was a featured twirler with Purdue’s All-American Marching Band. She was also crowned Miss Purdue 2019 and went on to place in the top 11 at Miss Indiana. When she is not in the office, she travels, takes fitness classes, and keeps up with whatever is new on Netflix.

She counts working alongside our team as one of the better parts of the job, and that collaboration is part of why appointments run smoothly. You can see her at both our Fortville and Westfield locations.
