About Dr. Paulina Bak
Dr. Paulina Bak was born in Poland and raised in New Jersey. From a young age, she knew dentistry was her dream career. She brings a warm, welcoming approach to every patient she meets and believes dentistry is about more than just teeth — it’s about making people feel comfortable, cared for, and truly understood.
Before earning her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the Indiana University School of Dentistry, she completed dental hygiene school and has been working in dentistry since 2015. Her background as both a hygienist and dentist allows her to connect with patients on a deeper level and provide compassionate, personalized care.
As an anxious dental patient herself growing up, Dr. Bak understands that dental visits can feel intimidating. She strives to create a relaxed, judgment-free environment while delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Passionate about continuing education, she enjoys staying current with the latest advancements and technology in dentistry to provide the best possible experience for her patients.
Dr. Bak is an active member of the American Dental Association, Indiana Dental Association, and several dental study clubs.
Outside the office, she enjoys reading, traveling, trying new restaurants, watching ice hockey and tennis tournaments, and spending time outdoors with her husband David, their son Theodore, and their goldendoodle, Benny.
