Meet Dr. Estes

Dr. Teal Estes joined Noles Family Dental as a dentist in 2020. Growing up, she spent a lot of time in the dental chair, undergoing treatments ranging from braces to implants. It wasn’t until she found a new dentist who made visits calm and comfortable that she realized dentistry didn’t have to be scary or painful. Inspired by that experience, Dr. Estes chose to pursue a career where she could provide the same level of care and kindness to her own patients.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) in 2016 and her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2020. In addition to being Invisalign certified, Dr. Estes has training in dental assisting and expanded functions, CPR, radiology, and administering nitrous oxide. She is also an active member of the Indiana Dental Association, American Medical Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Estes loves that dentistry allows her to make a difference in her community and help people become the best version of themselves. Patients often describe her as personable, compassionate, realistic, and easy to talk to. She strives to make each dental appointment a positive experience and to ease any fears or anxieties her patients may have.

Outside of the office, Dr. Estes enjoys traveling, reading, cooking, and spending time outdoors; especially off-roading and hiking. She and her husband, Troy, are raising their young son, Graham, along with their dog, Benny. A Jennings County native and lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan, she also has a goal of visiting every U.S. national park.
