Where State of the Art Dentistry Meets Hometown Hospitality

Walton Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry is located at 488 IN-135, Greenwood, IN 46142, just minutes from Greenwood Park Mall, and serves patients throughout Greenwood, Indianapolis, Bargersville, New Whiteland, Franklin, Beech Grove, Southport, and Martinsville. The practice is led by Dr. Matthew Walton, DDS, FAAID, DABOI/ID, a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology, and Dr. Ashley Karczewski, DDS. You can reach the office at (317) 885-7006 or request an appointment through the website. Office hours are Monday 8 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday and Wednesday 8 AM to 5 PM, Thursday 7 AM to 3 PM, and Friday by appointment.

A first visit typically includes a full oral exam, digital x-rays, a review of your medical and dental history, and a discussion of any concerns or treatment goals you have. Plan on about 60 to 90 minutes so the team can gather complete records and build a personalized care plan. New patients are asked to arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork, or download and fill out patient forms in advance from the Patients section of the website. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if applicable, and a list of any current medications so nothing is missed.

Walton Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry accepts most major dental insurance plans and files claims directly to most carriers on your behalf. Coverage varies by plan, so the office will gather your specific insurance details before your visit and give you an estimate of what your plan should cover and what you’ll owe out of pocket. Payment for the patient portion is due at the time of service, and the office accepts cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, and money orders. If your plan isn’t in-network, the team can often still file an out-of-network claim, and CareCredit or Cherry Financing are available as alternatives.

Walton Dental prioritizes same-day appointments for genuine dental emergencies (severe pain, a knocked-out tooth, a lost crown, facial swelling, or trauma) whenever the schedule allows. Call the office directly at (317) 885-7006 as early in the day as possible; same-day fit-in slots go quickly, and phone triage lets the team gauge how urgent your situation is. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, gently reinsert it if you can or store it in milk on your way in, since time matters. For serious emergencies outside office hours, or anything involving uncontrolled bleeding or swelling that affects breathing, go to the nearest emergency room.

IV sedation is typically recommended for patients with severe dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty getting numb with local anesthetic, or complex treatment plans like multiple implants, full-mouth restoration, or wisdom teeth extractions done in a single visit. Dr. Matthew Walton is one of only a few Indiana dentists licensed to administer IV sedation in-office, so it’s an available option here rather than a referral out. You remain conscious and able to respond, but feel deeply relaxed and often remember little of the appointment. Someone will need to drive you home afterward.

Yes. Dr. Ashley Karczewski, DDS, completed a residency in Dental Oncology at the University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, where she focused on managing oral complications of chemotherapy, radiation, and head and neck cancer treatment. This level of training is uncommon in a general dental practice and means the office is equipped to provide dental clearance before cancer treatment, manage dry mouth and mucositis during it, and address longer-term tooth and bone effects afterward. If you have an active or upcoming cancer diagnosis, mention it when booking so the visit can be scheduled and planned appropriately.

Walton Dental offers four levels of sedation dentistry to match different anxiety levels and procedures: nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety with fast recovery, oral sedation using a prescribed pill for moderate anxiety, IV conscious sedation for deeper relaxation during longer or more complex procedures, and hospital-based general anesthesia for the most extensive treatment needs. Dr. Walton is one of the few Indiana dentists licensed to administer IV sedation in-office, so patients aren’t referred elsewhere for it. The right option depends on the procedure, your health history, and your comfort level, and the team will help you choose during a consultation before treatment begins.

For a routine cleaning, a great local dentist usually wins on convenience. But for advanced implant work, in-office IV sedation, full-mouth reconstruction, or dental care during cancer treatment, patients regularly travel to Walton Dental from Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, Plainfield, Castleton, and Avon because of Dr. Walton’s Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantology and his IV sedation licensure, a combination that isn’t easy to find elsewhere in Central Indiana. From most north-side communities, the drive is typically 30 to 45 minutes off-peak via I-465 and I-65. If your treatment requires that level of specialty expertise, the drive is often worth consolidating those visits rather than piecing together separate providers locally.

Contact your current dental office and request that your records (including x-rays, treatment history, and any specialist reports) be sent to Walton Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry at 488 IN-135, Greenwood, IN 46142. Most offices will send records digitally or by mail within a few business days once you sign a release, which is usually a simple one-page form. You can also bring copies of recent x-rays with you to your first visit if you already have them on hand. Under HIPAA, you have the right to a copy of your dental records from any previous provider on request. If you’d like to confirm how Walton Dental prefers to receive your records, contact the office before your appointment.

Walton Dental partners with CareCredit and Cherry Financing so you can spread the cost of treatment over time, often with 0% APR promotional plans for those who qualify. Cherry’s application takes about 60 seconds and doesn’t require a hard credit check. The office also offers an in-office dental plan for patients without insurance, which includes free cleanings, exams, and x-rays plus 20% off other treatments, with no deductibles and no waiting periods. Talk to the front desk about combining insurance, financing, and the in-office plan to make treatment more manageable, especially for larger cases like implants or restorative work.
