Meet Dr. Brenda Hanes, DDS, MSD
Owner
At the center of Sun Gate Dental is Dr. Brenda Hanes, a highly accomplished prosthodontist and the proud owner of our family-friendly practice. Dr. Hanes represents an elite tier of dental professionals, possessing advanced, specialized training in the restoration and replacement of teeth. Her academic journey began in Lima, Peru, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. Driven by a passion for complex oral rehabilitation, she relocated to the United States to pursue rigorous, multi-year post-doctoral training at the prestigious Indiana University School of Dentistry. There, she successfully earned both her advanced Prosthodontics Certificate and a Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD), cementing her status as a leading authority in reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Hanes has dedicated her distinguished career to two deeply intertwined passions: elevating direct patient care and advancing dental education. Demonstrating her high standing in the academic community, she serves as the Director of the Division of Complete Dentures at the Indiana University School of Dentistry. In this prominent leadership role, she shapes the curriculum, conducts vital clinical research, and mentors the next generation of dental surgeons. By splitting her time between academic leadership and private practice at Sun Gate Dental, Dr. Hanes ensures that her patients receive care built on the absolute cutting edge of dental science, clinical research, and modern restorative techniques.
Advanced Reconstructive Specialties and State-of-the-Art Care for All Ages
As a specialized prosthodontist, Dr. Hanes possesses clinical expertise that goes far beyond standard general dentistry. She specializes in highly complex dental restorations, full-mouth rehabilitations, advanced crown and bridge work, dental implant restorations, and custom-engineered complete dentures. Dr. Hanes understands that no two smiles are identical, which is why she approaches every patient with a highly personalized, diagnostic strategy. Whether a patient requires a single cosmetic veneer or a comprehensive structural restoration, she utilizes Sun Gate Dental’s brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment to deliver flawless, natural-looking, and structurally durable results.
Under Dr. Hanes's direction, Sun Gate Dental has been carefully designed to operate as a comprehensive, family-friendly clinic providing elite dental care for patients of all ages—from children experiencing their first checkups to seniors requiring advanced restorative solutions. To ensure world-class oral health care remains completely stress-free and accessible, Dr. Hanes has instituted patient-first business options, including same-day emergency appointments for sudden dental crises, flexible financing plans tailored to various budgets, and exclusive special offers for new and returning patients. Her practice combines a warm, welcoming environment with the absolute pinnacle of clinical technology.
An Active Scholar Committed to Innovation and Community Balance
To maintain her position at the absolute forefront of modern dentistry, Dr. Hanes maintains active, high-level memberships in the field's most prestigious elite organizations. She is a recognized member of both the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics (AAFP) and the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP). These exclusive peer networks give her early access to emerging biomedical technologies, revolutionary material sciences, and innovative surgical protocols. Her unwavering commitment to continuing education means that the treatment plans offered at Sun Gate Dental consistently represent the safest, fastest, and most comfortable options available in modern medicine.
When she steps away from her academic lectures, clinical research, and active patient operatories, Dr. Hanes believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle that keeps her deeply grounded. She loves traveling and exploring new cultures alongside her husband, David. These global journeys provide her with unique perspectives, a refreshed energy, and a deep appreciation for diverse communities—qualities that feed directly back into her compassionate, empathetic chairside manner. For Dr. Hanes, dentistry is not just a profession; it is a life-long calling to restore confidence, eliminate chronic dental pain, and build beautiful, healthy smiles that stand the test of time.
