Smile with Confidence

At our practice, we believe that a beautiful smile is more than just aesthetics—it’s about confidence, health, and self-expression. Cosmetic dentistry offers transformative solutions that go beyond traditional dental care, helping you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field of dental care focused on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and overall smile. Unlike traditional dentistry that primarily addresses health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry combines artistic skill with advanced dental techniques to create stunning, natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is cosmetic dentistry only about looking good?

A: Not at all! While improving appearance is a primary goal, many cosmetic treatments also enhance dental health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, veneers can protect damaged teeth, and proper alignment can prevent future dental issues.

Q: Are cosmetic dental procedures painful?

A: Most cosmetic treatments are minimally invasive and performed with your comfort in mind. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience.

Q: How long do cosmetic dental treatments last?

A: Duration varies by treatment:

  • Teeth Whitening: 6 months to 2 years
  • Porcelain Veneers: 10-15 years with proper care
  • Dental Bonding: 4-8 years
  • Invisalign Results: Permanent with retainer use

Meet THE DENTISTS

DR. DENNIS KNUTH

DR. DENNIS KNUTH

PARTNER

Dr. Knuth is proud to care for patients right here in the community he calls home. He and his team at Hometown Dental combine continuing education with the latest technology to make sure every patient and family receives top-quality care in a comfortable, welcoming setting.

Passionate about dentistry based on a simple philosophy, Dr. Knuth treats every patient as he would a close friend or family member—always striving to deliver the level of care each person deserves.

A graduate of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Dr. Knuth feels fortunate to have learned from some of the best mentors in the field. Before becoming a dentist, he earned a degree in electrical engineering and spent six years working in the electronics industry in Cincinnati. That background gave him a strong appreciation for technology and precision, which now plays a big role in how he approaches dental care.

Dr. Knuth lives in Greencastle with Emily (Jones) and their three children.  When Dr. Knuth isn’t with patients, you might find him riding his bicycle or on his Peloton trainer. Dr. Knuth also loves traveling and exploring new places with his family and friends. Some of Dr. Knuth’s favorite things are Bruce Springsteen, peanut M&Ms, cherry pie and yoga.

DR. TESS FUNKE

DR. TESS FUNKE

PARTNER

Dr. Funke loves getting to know her patients and chatting with them when they come in for visits. Its important to her to provide care for all patients, no matter where they are in their oral health journey.
While she enjoys many aspects of dentistry, Dr. Funke is excited to educate patients about dental implants and the ways they benefit oral health as Hometown Dental grows to offer implants here in our office.

Dr. Funke attended the University of Louisville for dental school and then completed a one year advanced training program in Arkansas. She's been transforming smiles with the Hometown Dental team since 2019.

When Dr. Funke isn’t with patients, you will find her spending time with her husband, Adam and their young son, Victor. Whether they are out strolling their neighborhood with aussiedoodle, Nelson or trying a new restaurant, it's wonderful to experience the world through a child’s eyes. Dr. Funke enjoys Orange Theory Fitness, cuddling up with a good book and will never turn down a good chocolate chip cookie.
