About Wolf Family Dentistry

Our History

Dr. Renee Wolf knew from a young age that she wanted to be a doctor—her father was a heart surgeon. However, Dr. Wolf wanted to be able to have more interaction with patients than surgery allows for. This desire to build relationships with her patients led her to dentistry. She enjoys seeing her patients every six months, watching children grow up, and becoming friends with those she treats. She began her practice, Wolf Family Dentistry, in 1988 in La Porte, IN. She has many patients that have been with her since the beginning, and she considers herself lucky to call them her dear friends.

Our Team

We have a full staff of kind, compassionate women who have all been a part of our patient care team for 10 to 20 years. We all work to develop warm and friendly relationships with our patients and to make them feel well-cared-for during their time in our office. Through ongoing continuing education and training we maintain excellence in our skills and we utilize the latest technology, materials, and procedures. Dr. Wolf and her staff educate patients using digital radiographs, intraoral images, and models.

We are proud to have received the People’s Choice Award for Best Dentist in La Porte County. This was voted on by the readers of the local newspaper, the LaPorte Herald Argus.

FAQs

What preventive dental services do you offer to help maintain oral health?

At Wolf Family Dentistry, we emphasize preventative care through regular professional dental cleanings—typically recommended twice a year—using ultrasonic scalers (cavitron) for efficient and comfortable plaque and tartar removal. We also provide digital radiography (x-rays) that deliver clearer images with up to 90% less radiation than traditional methods, allowing for early detection of decay, gum disease, and other oral issues. Additionally, patients can benefit from custom night guards for teeth grinding and custom athletic mouthguards for sports protection, along with periodontal treatments like scaling and root planing to treat and prevent gum disease.

Can Wolf Family Dentistry help with TMJ-related jaw tension or headaches?

Yes! For patients suffering from TMJ disorders or bruxism (teeth grinding) that manifest as jaw tension or headaches, we offer Botox injections. This treatment can alleviate symptoms by reducing muscle clenching and tension, especially when traditional therapies haven’t provided relief.

What cosmetic and restorative treatments are available to improve my smile?

Wolf Family Dentistry provides extensive cosmetic and restorative services to restore both appearance and function. These include:

Teeth Whitening: To combat discoloration from beverages, aging, or medications.
Hybrid Dentures: Full arch implant-supported bridges that offer long-lasting results for patients needing full reconstruction.
Tooth-Colored Restorations: High-quality zirconia inlays, onlays, crowns, and implant restorations made from digital impressions with 3D scanning.
Dentures: Options include fixed-custom removable dentures, implant-retained fixed dentures, and partials—all crafted using 3D technology for precise fitting and comfort.

How do you ensure restorations look natural and fit comfortably?

We use advanced digital impression techniques with a 3D scanner to ensure precisely tailored restorations. These scans are sent to a lab for fabrication of durable, custom zirconia restorations—built for seamless integration, comfort, and longevity.

What technology do you use to minimize radiation exposure during dental x-rays?

Wolf Family Dentistry employs digital radiography, which reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film x-rays, while providing instantly viewable, high-resolution images to better diagnose dental issues.

What should a new patient expect during their first appointment?

New patients can expect a warm, supportive experience focused on comfort and education. A thorough exam will assess oral health and include any necessary diagnostics. We encourage completing patient registration forms ahead of time (available online) to streamline your visit. Plus, our staff can assist in contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage.
