About Our Practice
OUR STAFF
Dr. Arthur Roberts, DDS, MD
Dr Roberts was born and raised in Shelbyville, Indiana. His father was a dentist and one of his younger brothers is a dentist. He is married with 4 adult children and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Dr. Roberts has an endless curiosity and after graduation from Indiana University Dental School has more than 16 years formal postdoctoral study at Oxford University, Indiana University, and UHSA. In addition he has thousands of hours of short courses provided by professional academies, hospitals, medical centers, government agencies and institutes. Dr. Roberts practiced general dentistry for 32 years prior to limiting his practice to Craniofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine. He has presented in universities in the United States and Europe.
His philosophy is that an accurate diagnosis is the key to treatment excellence.
For over two decades Dr. Roberts has focused on craniofacial pain and sleep apnea. This is an invaluable asset when treating these diseases, whose presentation is often subtle and are commonly referred to as the “great imposters” and “silent diseases”.
