Dr. Held grew up on the north side of Indianapolis, just minutes from Nora Dental Associates, an office he now calls home. A proud product of Washington Township schools, Northview/North Central, he discovered early on that not only did he love working with his hands, but he also valued helping others. This combination led him naturally to a career in dentistry.

A lifelong tennis player, Dr. Held competed throughout his youth at North Central, and his college years at the University of Michigan and Indiana University, where he learned the discipline, focus, and strategic thinking that now shape his approach to patient care.

With more than 15 years of experience, Dr. Held has built a reputation for clinical excellence and a gentle, patient-centered style. He has advanced training in root canal therapy, dental implants and cosmetics. He is known for making even the most complex procedures feel comfortable for patients and relatively stress-free.

Today, Dr. Held is honored to serve the same community that shaped him, providing the highest quality care with the skill, compassion, and northside Indy warmth that his patients appreciate.

When not in the office Dr. Held enjoys spending time with his delightful wife Liz, their three children Natalie, Alexander and Lilly. The Held family has a love of pets where you can find multiple dogs and cats. Dr. Held is also an avid golfer and nationally ranked platform tennis player. In his spare time, you just might find him with a table of friends enjoying a good strategic boardgame.
