Meet Dr. Amine Fattal

Dr. Amine Fattal is a highly skilled and passionate orthodontist with a Bachelor's in Dental Surgery from Beirut Arab University and specialized training in Orthodontics from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He chose dentistry because it combines science and art, and orthodontics allows him to be creative in creating beautiful smiles.

"I want to play an active and valuable role in the community of Elkhart, Middlebury, and South Bend. I want to celebrate my patient’s accomplishments, hobbies, and wins. I want to be the community friend."

Outside of the office, Dr. Fattal enjoys playing the guitar, participating in sports such as tennis, pickleball, and basketball. Growing up, Dr. Fattal was an avid fan of the Chicago Bulls, and his enthusiasm for the team remains strong.

For Dr. Fattal, dentistry was not just a choice; it chose him. However, he specifically chose to specialize in orthodontics because it combines both science and art. With extensive experience, lifelong learning, and a keen eye for detail, Dr. Fattal believes that orthodontics offers a unique opportunity for creativity in treatment planning and execution. Just as an artist learns and applies fundamental techniques before grasping the bigger picture, Dr. Fattal applies a similar approach to creating beautiful smiles. He considers it a challenging yet rewarding process that requires dedication, continuous study, and a commitment to excellence.
