Dr. Jack Rusch grew up on a farm near Plymouth, Indiana, and trained at the IU School of Dentistry. He bought his first practice in New Castle in 2000. Since then, the group has grown to four offices across East Central Indiana. Each one keeps its local roots and its long-tenured team. We’re currently looking for the next dentist to help us grow in Fishers.

Follow a Clear Path From Associate to Partner
Plenty of practices promise growth, but we show you how it happens. Each step on your path comes with real backing, so you always know what’s next and the steps needed to get there.
Associate Dentist
You start strong. Before you see your first patient, you’ll complete case acceptance training so you can present treatment with confidence. Dr. Rusch mentors you directly, and you build your patient base with a trained team beside you.
Clinical Leader
You step up to lead. As your skills grow, you take on a bigger role in guiding the team and setting the standard. Leadership coaching through Tower and Paragon prepares you for it, and your voice starts to shape how the practice runs.
Equity Partner
You own a piece of what you build. As a partner, you’ll earn a real stake in a private dental group that has grown for 26 years. There’s no DSO buy-in and no need to relocate. You help decide where the group goes next.
