Real People. Real Care.

We take the time to get to know you, understand what's going on, and walk you through it in a way that actually makes sense.

This Type Of Care Just Feels Different

From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll notice it.

We're not rushing from one patient to the next. We're not talking over you or throwing terms at you that don't mean anything.

We sit down. We listen. We get to know you.

Because dentistry is not just about teeth. It is about figuring out what is going on, how it connects to the rest of your health, and helping you make the right decisions moving forward.

That starts with a real conversation.

Meet Dr. Chad

Clear. Thorough. Focused on the Bigger Picture.

Dr. Chad Stutsman, DDS

Dr. Chad grew up on the Stutsman Family Farm right here in Goshen, Indiana. He graduated from Goshen High School in 1993, earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Butler University in 1997, and completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2001. After graduation, he came home — and he's never left.

With over 500 hours of advanced continuing education in cosmetic dentistry, sedation dentistry, and dental sleep apnea and airway care, Dr. Chad is one of the most extensively trained general dentists in the region. But patients don't talk about his credentials. They talk about the fact that he actually takes time to explain things.

Dr. Chad takes a direct, thoughtful approach to care. When you're in the chair, his goal is simple: help you see what's going on and understand your options. He looks beyond just your teeth — evaluating your gums, your bite, your airway, and how it all works together. If something stands out, he walks you through it in a way that's easy to follow. No pressure, no confusion — just a clear explanation of what he's seeing, why it matters, and what you can do about it. Because when you have a clear picture of your health, you can make the right decisions for yourself.

He's especially passionate about helping patients who feel self-conscious about their smiles, who experience anxiety about visiting the dentist, and who struggle to tolerate a CPAP machine. Through customized dental sleep apnea devices, he helps these patients breathe easier at night — improving both their quality of life and long-term health.

Dr. Chad is a proud member of the following professional organizations:

  • American Dental Association
  • Academy of General Dentistry
  • Crown Council of Dentists
  • American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
  • Indiana Dental Association
  • North Central Dental Society
  • American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine
  • Airway Health Solutions Provider

Meet Dr. Danielle

Compassionate. Personable. Built for Families.

Dr. Danielle Stutsman, DDS

Dr. Danielle grew up in South Bend, Indiana, and graduated from Marian High School in Mishawaka in 1993. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Butler University in 1997, then went on to complete her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2001 — graduating alongside her husband, Dr. Chad. She joined the Stutsman Dentistry family in 2004, bringing with her a deep passion for children's dental care.

Dr. Danielle is the reason kids in Goshen actually look forward to the dentist. Over more than two decades, she's built the kind of patient relationships that span generations — parents who once sat in her chair as children now bring their own kids to see her. Her focus on early development and pediatric airway health means she catches things other providers often miss entirely.

Dr. Danielle brings an energy that patients feel right away. She has a natural ability to connect with people, especially kids, and create an environment where every member of the family feels comfortable from the start.

Her approach is rooted in education and empathy. She takes the time to explain what's happening, show you what she sees, and make sure both you and your children can follow along. For kids, that often means getting down on their level, making things feel approachable, and turning what could be a stressful visit into something they can handle with confidence. For parents, it means clarity, reassurance, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child is in the right place to get the care they need.

While children remain her true passion, Dr. Danielle's expertise doesn't stop there — she is a well-rounded, highly trained dentist skilled in all aspects of general dentistry, providing excellent care to patients of every age.

Outside the office, Dr. Danielle's world revolves around her family. She and Dr. Chad have four wonderful children — Mackayla, Sydney, Coltyn, and Charley — and as busy parents of four, you're likely to find them at a ball field or gym cheering on games and practices. She's also an avid runner with a passion for half marathons, one that's rubbed off on the whole family. When they're not on the run, the Stutsmans love to travel together, with Walt Disney World and cruises to new destinations topping their list of favorite getaways.

Dr. Danielle is a proud member of the following professional organizations:

  • American Dental Association
  • Academy of General Dentistry
  • Crown Council of Dentists
  • Indiana Dental Association
  • North Central Dental Society
  • Airway Health Solutions Provider

Dr. Chad and Dr. Danielle

Two Perspectives. One Shared Approach.

Dr. Chad and Dr. Danielle bring different strengths, but they work from the same mindset.

The approach is simple: care for the whole person, explain things clearly, and take the time to do it right.

Having both perspectives in one place means nothing gets overlooked. You are not being sent from office to office or starting over with someone new every time something changes.

Whether you're coming in for yourself or your family, you have a team working together to make sure everything fits and makes sense.

What You Can Expect

You won't be rushed through your visit, left confused about what just happened, or pressured into making a decision before you're ready.

Instead, you will sit down with a team that takes the time to walk you through everything, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.

The goal is simple.

When you leave, you should know what's going on, understand your options, and feel like you've found a place you can trust.
