After practicing dentistry for 35 years, Dr. John still feels he has the greatest job in the world. His passion for the kids is truly inspiring and he's excited about helping you and your child learn to care for their smile. A proud Indiana native, Dr. John grew up on the west side of Indianapolis and graduated from Marian College.
After graduating from dental school, we went through two additional years of training specifically focused on the nuances of working with children, teens, and those with special needs. Whether this is your infant child's first dental visit or they are old enough to think about college, rest assured we know what they need to have the best possible smile.
Some injuries require immediate attention. If your child experiences any of the following, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. No parent ever wants to see his or her child suffering from discomfort. Fortunately, not all injuries require a trip to the emergency room and can be treated either at home or in our office.
Sometimes we know some children have either had bad experiences in the past, or are just afraid which makes it difficult for us to complete certain treatments. In this case, we may suggest a different approach to effectively and safely complete necessary treatment. There are many factors that are considered when suggesting alternative treatment options such as medical history, age, treatment and behavior.
Rudy is on a mission to collect 1,000 smiles of boys and girls everywhere who care about having a perfect smile. This means it's up to you to send Rudy your smile every chance you can get! All you have to do first and foremost is your very best to take care of that smile of yours!

Dr. Zach and all his team made my 4-year old first visit very pleasant. They explained everything they were doing and were very patient. Also, they were very cautious about Covid measures (masks, temperature checks, etc.) Nonetheless, to minimize exposure, I would recommend a little bit of extra space (if possible) between the 4 exam chairs. In the end, they gave us a healthy goodie bag (toothpaste, toothbrush, a small toy, and other tooth-related stuff) which made my kid ask when he could come back. Overall, it was a good experience, and it helps the little ones to get used to the dentist.

Dr. Bozic and the rest of the staff were very kind and patient with my daughter. She deals with oral aversion and various sensory sensitivities and they were so great with her. We went in worried that it wouldn’t go well and we left tear free and happy! My daughter keeps talking about going to the dentist. Very pleased!

My 3 year old son typically has a very hard time when he goes to the doctor, so I was worried the dentist would be the same. This was absolutely not the case though. The staff were so friendly and my son loved his visit. It was all he talked about for a day and he spent the whole evening playing with his dentist goodie bag.

Initially we loved coming here. Both doctors are very nice and great with my son. In the middle of covid shutdowns we scheduled a tooth removal and placement of a spacer for my 5 year old. We were given an amount and decided to pay out of pocket and had to do so before the surgery could be scheduled. We were given the understanding that was the end of our bills. Even after a later visit to put the spacer back in after it fell out, we were again told we did not owe the dentistry any money. 5 months later we received a call 2 days before Christmas asking for $1500 that was “past due” and going

Dr. Bozic and his crew have whole heartedly gone above and beyond to make my little Bo feel 100% happy at the dentist. He was very scared from 2 other dentist experiences and Dr. Zach calmed every fear! Thank you so much to everyone for making this such a fun, calm, happy place!!! We will be back and definitely recommending you to everyone we know!

Dr. Zach is amazing!! My son already sees him but we thought we would take my daughter who has special needs including a trach and severe oral aversion. The appointment went so well, Dr. Zach and the dental assistant were singing right along with us to ease her nerves (and mine!). 🥰 Thank you Dr. Zach and staff, I highly recommend your office! (Redness on her face in picture is chapped, not from appt).

We had a wonderful experience with, Dr. Zach! He was super sweet with my three children (2, 4, and 5 year olds). He took the time to connect with each one of them. They weren’t just another number to him. The staff were amazing too! They were all so pleasant to be around! The atmosphere was awesome, even during a pandemic. My children can’t wait to go back to see the dentist! Thank you for taking care of us!
