Dr. Laura Parrish
I have wanted to be an orthodontist since I was 6 years old! I remember having an expander and braces at a young age and oddly enough, I loved it! I knew the difference it made in my smile and confidence it gave me throughout school. I knew I wanted to help others achieve the same thing.
Education and Continuing Education
- Undergrad at IUPUI, accepted early into dental school
- Doctorate of Dental Surgery- Indiana University, Indianapolis
- Master of Science and Orthodontic Certificate- Indiana University, Indianapolis
As much as I have a passion for a beautiful smile, I also have a passion for learning. I enjoy attending continuing education courses to keep up-to-date on new technology and advancements in the field. Knowing the mechanics behind tooth movement and artistically being able to create a perfect smile is what gets us great results.

My Team
I have had the pleasure to work with a wonderful team. Each individual has their strengths that make the practice run smoothly and each contribute to a fun, familiar environment. Many members have worked on the parents that are now bringing their kids in for treatment! Having a great experience and telling others about it makes the practice a somewhere you want to come back.
Outside the Office
I was born and raised in northwest Indiana. I met my husband, Dr. Brandon Parrish, during dental school and we got married a week after we graduated from dental school and then attended orthodontic school together. Moving back to my husband’s hometown of Fort Wayne was an easy decision. I’ve always heard it’s a great place to raise a family and has the same small town feel that I grew up with. We have two boys, Noah and Ty. They are the joy of my life and I love being surrounded by such fun, loving boys (all 3 of them!) In my spare time, (what spare time with kids?) I treasure family time, reading books to my kids, and getting out for a nice dinner!

I am very lucky to work in a profession that I love. It is very rewarding to give the gift of a beautiful smile and have a positive influence on patients’ lives. A beautiful smile is one of the first things you notice when meeting someone new, and I am honored to play a major part in the process that can have such a significant effect on a person’s self-image and oral health.

I strive to stay up to date with the latest in orthodontic technology so I can provide the best results in less time, and with improved comfort. Although I rely heavily on an artistic eye and experience, “evidence-based care” is the foundation of our practice. By focusing on the scientific literature and what the research in our field tells us, we get one step closer to great results.

Outside the Office
I am a Fort Wayne native and am pleased to practice orthodontics and raise my family in this wonderful area. I am married to Dr. Laura Parrish and we are very happy for the opportunities offered by the Fort Wayne community. We have two sons, Noah and Ty, and love spending time with them and watching them explore and learn about the world at this young age. They are truly a joy. When I’m not in the office or with my family, I enjoy playing golf, being with friends, and cheering on Indiana sports teams!

Dr. Jon Ingleman
How fortunate I have been. Long ago and far away as an engineering student at Purdue, I realized I wanted to work with and help improve the lives of people. I switched to dentistry and specialized in orthodontics. It has turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. It is such a joy to create beautiful smiles that change people’s lives and raise their self-esteem. It’s what made me want to join this field 43 years ago, and what makes me proud today.
Education and Continuing Education
- Bachelor of Science – Purdue University and Indiana University Bloomington
- Doctorate of Dental Surgery – Indiana University, Indianapolis
I am continually involved in reviewing the latest research in orthodontic treatment through participation in continuing education. Exploring new technology is extremely interesting and is certainly beneficial to our patients’ successful outcomes.

My Team
The relationships I have built with my staff are very special to me. We have become friends and it’s wonderful to work with friends every day. I couldn’t do the quality work we are known for without the help of my caring, friendly team. They are all my second family.
Outside the Office
I am a native of Indianapolis and currently live in Fort Wayne with my wife Judy. We have three children, all grown, and four grandsons. Our three dogs — Rudy, Chaos, and Yoshibell — keep us company at home. Judy and I enjoy backpacking out west and I have been known to go on motorcycle trips with “the guys.” I consider myself a serious amateur photographer and would be lost without books. Preservation of wild habitats is very important to Judy and me. We are involved with Acres, an organization that purchases and protects woodlands, marshes, and habitats for birds, animals, plants, and other living creatures. We believe in protecting the natural world for future generations as well as our own.
