Friendly, High-Skilled Dentist and Team

Good dentistry is more than excellent clinical skills and state-of-the-art equipment. Establishing lasting relationships with our patients based upon mutual trust and open communication is an important factor. You will enjoy an atmosphere of light hearted, friendly communication. We firmly believe in treating our patients the way we would want to be treated.

Dr. David Bender

Dr. David E. Bender has been a Hoosier native for most of his life. Born in Richmond, IN., Dr. Bender spent his junior and senior years of high school in Canal Winchester, OH. Missing Indiana, Dr. Bender returned to Indiana to attend Indiana University in Bloomington where he received his Bachelor of Science in Biology. He continued his education at Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis where he received his DDS degree in 2002.

Dr. Bender and his wife Amanda, a graphic designer, are very excited to be a part of the Saxony neighborhood. They feel this “new-urbanism” way of life coincides with their priorities of family, friends, and a professional work atmosphere.

Christina

Hello! My name is Christina Hubbard and I am Village Dental at Saxony's Office Coordinator. I've been
married to my husband, Jason, for 3 years, we have a two year old son Boyce, and 13 year old son,
Gordon. When not working or spending time at home, our family passion is boating. Dale Hollow Lake
is our lake of choice, just thinking about the sun, water and fun makes me smile!

By luck I started off in the dental field six years ago, with the idea that it would be temporary. On
purpose I have stayed in the dental field because of my passion for being a patient advocate and being
in a profession I truly believe in. I'm the newest addition to the practice, and I'm loving my new team
members! Being in a practice where everyone is family is important, I'm so glad to be a part of Dr.
Bender's team! Many lunches are spent together, we love EI Rodaeo and McCallisters, really ... we do ....
Just ask Sheree!

It's been 12 years,now, and dentistry still ROCKS!!

Kerri

My name is Kerri Smith. I have lived in New Castle for most of my life. Dentistry has been an interest of mine since I was in high school. In high school I completed a vocational program in dental assisting. After graduating I worked as an assistant for 6 years before deciding to go to college to earn my associates degree in Dental assisting with Expanded Functions. What I love most about dentistry is the interaction with and comfort of each patient. In my spare time I enjoy being with family & friends, gardening, music ~ trips to Dale Hollow Lake.

Rachel

My name is Rachel Yoder and I graduated in 2009 from Indiana University School of Dentistry in Dental
Hygiene. I have always felt a passion for helping people and after spending time trying to narrow down
and identify specifically how I wanted to help people I ended up finding my perfect fit in the dental field.
I enjoy seeing the results after working with patients and providing them with the high quality of care
that our office continues to provide. The reward you get when patients are happy with their smile and
the treatment that was given to them is an indescribable feeling. I really enjoy being a part of the
Village Dental family and especially working with such a diverse and interesting variety of patients.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Dan and we recently moved to the Fishers area and are
enjoying it very much. I am originally from Elkhart, Indiana so I have been a Hoosier all my life. Some of
the things I enjoy doing outside of work are actively staying involved with church family and continually
striving to grow in my relationship with Christ, reading, biking, swimming, spending time with family and
friends, decorating my home, crafts, shopping, etc.

Jamie

My name is Jamie Graf and I am a part-time dental hygienist here at Dr. Bender's office. I graduated from the Indiana University School of Dentistry in 2003. I chose dentistry because I had a passion for it from an early age. I was influenced by my mom who is also a dental hygienist. I enjoy spending time with and educating my patients and seeing the results of our hard work. My husband DJ and I live in Fishers with our beautiful son Jackson. We enjoy spending time with family, any outdoor activities, and vacationing.
