Dr. Nicole was born in Indianapolis and grew up in Carmel, Indiana.

Carmel High School. Dr. Nicole chose the field of pediatric dentistry
because her father, Dr. James Weddell, founder of Weddell Pediatric
Dentistry, inspired her. He taught her clinical excellence, hard work
ethic, responsibility to community and the importance of loving your
job. She enjoys working with kids and having fun everyday on the job
interacting with patients, families and staff. In 2014, Dr. Nicole
bought the practice from Dr. Jim so he can have more time to enjoy
some well-deserved rest and relaxation. She is committed to continuing
the quality of care and reputation he has built for over 40 years.
Dr. Nicole particularly enjoys working with the Hispanic community
allowing her to keep up her Spanish. She lived and studied abroad in

Dr. Ebony Jordan, DDS
Dr. Jordan spent her summers during her college years working at the
mall, it was there she was approached by a man who told her that she
looked like she was college age and asked if she had ever thought
about a career in dentistry. It was a life altering moment. He
turned out to be the assistant dean of the dental school and a
lifelong mentor to Dr. Jordan.
After college, she attended dental school. There she discovered that
if she could start with children at an early age she could help
alleviate their dental fears as well as prevent decay. With that
goal in mind she attended pediatric dental residency and went on to
gain board certification in pediatric dentistry. Dr. Jordan's goal
is to create a positive dental experience for your child and to
establish healthy habits that carry them into adulthood; and
possibly we will have children growing up not fearing the dentist,
but wanting to be a dentist.
