✨ ✨
In 2013, the South Central Oral Surgery team came together to celebrate Angie’s bachelorette party at Candi’s house 🎉💍. Our team has always been more than coworkers—we’re a family that supports and celebrates one another both inside and outside the office.

Here’s to amazing memories, lifelong friendships, and many more celebrations ahead! 💕

✨ Happy Surgical Technologist Week! ✨

We’re so grateful for our incredible surgical tech team here at South Central Oral Surgery. Your skill, dedication, and teamwork help us provide the very best care for our patients every single day. 💙

A big thank you to Dr. Pliske for treating the team to some delicious Mother Bear’s pizza to celebrate! 🍕🎉

Here’s to our rockstar surgical techs—we appreciate you today and every day! 👏👏

🎉 A proud moment for our very own Dr. Pliske!

This weekend, his son, Ben Pliske, celebrated his White Coat Ceremony at the Indiana University School of Dentistry, Class of 2028. 🦷✨

As Ben enters his second year, this milestone marks the beginning of his journey into patient care. What an incredible achievement — and an even prouder moment for Dr. Pliske and his family!

Congratulations, Ben — the future is bright! 👏👏

✨ Flashback Friday ✨

We’re taking it back to 2009 with this photo of Jamie and Sarah at one of our monthly team meetings! 🗂️

Jamie, our wonderful receptionist, has been part of the South Central Oral Surgery family since 2000, and Sarah, one of our talented surgical assistants, joined us in 2007. Not only have they been incredible team members, but they’ve also built a true friendship along the way—Jamie even stood by Sarah’s side as a bridesmaid in her wedding! 💙

We’re so grateful for the dedication, teamwork, and lasting friendships that make our office feel like family.

“It took one visit with South Central to determine I would never want anyone else handling my oral care needs. The staff at South Central is friendly, informative and very attentive. And the surgeons are top notch because they know what they are doing and they do it in a timely manner. Shout out to South Central of Bloomington Indiana for your great and professional care of my oral needs.” - Jayne

✨ Flashback Friday! ✨
We’re throwing it all the way back to 1993 when Dr. Howell, Melanie, and Jamè attended an Oral Surgery Conference in sunny California 🌴☀️.

So much has changed in dentistry over the years, but one thing has stayed the same — our team’s passion for learning, growing, and caring for our patients 💙.

🎃 While Dr. Pliske is out of the office today, our team is getting into the fall spirit! 🍂🖌️ We’re decorating pumpkins to bring a little seasonal cheer to our waiting room.

We can’t wait for you to see them at your next visit—stop by and let us know which one is your favorite! ✨

🎉 Happy Birthday to Candi! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating someone incredibly special — our amazing Office Manager, Candi! 💛

Candi has been with us since 1987, and for nearly four decades, she’s been the glue that holds our office together. From keeping everything running smoothly to bringing the team together with her crafting parties, she does it all — and always with a smile.

Outside the office, Candi loves spending time with her husband Bryan, daughter Taylor, and son-in-law Andy. Whether it’s enjoying concerts with Taylor, crafting up something creative, or cuddling with her sweet pup Aspen, Candi knows how to make every moment count. She also loves hopping in the jeep for a ride and soaking up time outdoors whenever she can. 🌿🚙

We’re so lucky to have her — and even luckier to call her a friend. 💐

Help us wish Candi the happiest of birthdays! Drop your well wishes in the comments! 🥳🎂💕
