DR. BILL FLORA

After graduating from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1992, Dr. Flora returned to his roots in Elkhart with one goal in mind: He would create a dental practice that would make a difference in this community. He soon realized that one of the biggest elements missing in health care was the personal touch, so he vowed to build his practice on the four C's; comfort, care, concern and compassion.
Continuing education is also a commitment Dr. Flora makes to his patients. He regularly attends courses that enrich his procedures, his practice, and his professionalism.
Dr. Flora's dedication to excellence in dentistry has been recognized with numerous awards including:

• Dental Practice of the Year
• Clinical Achievement Recognition
• Robert J. Alber Scholarship
• International Congress of Oral Implantologists
• Academy of Dental Materials
• Indiana Society of Periodontists

Dr. Flora also holds memberships to the American Dental Association, Elkhart Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry, among others. He and his wife, Kris live in Elkhart with their two children, Conner and Noelle.
