Why Choose Us

Whether your child needs a routine teeth cleaning and exam or more advanced treatments like fillings, crowns, or bonding, it’s easy to set up an appointment. You can request an appointment online anytime. We will contact you to confirm the date and time. New patient forms and other information is also online. You can be paper-free with us! Just set up your login information, review our policies and complete the necessary forms before your appointment.

We use education as a means to promote dental health and prevent cavities. When kids have access to information they can understand, they are more likely to adopt healthy oral hygiene and have great smiles! Rather than be reactive, we prefer to be proactive and stop dental problems before they start. Education is the best way to do that!

Our motto: Always do what is right and best for the patient. Always do it right the first time. Quality is more important than quantity.

Dr Hobbs Picture frame

My first exposure to dentistry was in high school. I would occasionally substitute for employees at the office of my girlfriend’s father. In 2001, I returned home to Fort Wayne and purchased Pediatric Dental Associates, PC in 2006. I love the opportunities we have to put a smile on a child’s face, make them laugh, and take an interest in their lives.

Dr Rachel Gentz1

Dr. Gentz is a native of Michigan. She completed her undergraduate studies at Case Western Reserve University and then continued on to dental school at Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Following dental school, she completed 2 years of post-doctorate specialty training in pediatric dentistry at The Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital
in 2015. During residency, she also obtained a Master’s degree and completed her research thesis on pediatric dental sedation. Since then Dr. Gentz has practiced pediatric dentistry in South Carolina, Michigan, and California before returning to the Midwest to be close to family in Fort Wayne.

Dr. Gentz finds great satisfaction in working with kids and families everyday. Nothing is better than helping children have a positive dental experience and putting smiles on their faces! In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband, Patrick, and their two children. Together, they enjoy camping, traveling, and cooking!
