Linda Wehner, D.M.D.
Linda Wehner, D.M.D.General Dentist
Dr. Linda Wehner has been practicing family dentistry for almost 30 years in Madison, Indiana. She follows in her father’s footsteps to become the second generation to pursue a dental profession. At a young age she began assisting her father in his dental practice in California, where she was raised.

Dr. Wehner graduated from Brigham Young University before being accepted into the University of Louisville School of Dentistry Program, where she graduated fifth in her class in 1991. She worked along-side other dentists for the first 5 years, then opened her own dental office, Clifty Family Dental, in 1996 at its present location of 1105 Clifty Drive, Madison, IN.

Besides being a business owner and dentist, she and her husband raised four children, managed a small farm and have served in various callings in their church. She also enjoys traveling to Utah to visit her four grandchildren.

Dr. Wehner’s daughter Caroline Simkins will be graduating in August of 2019 with a Dental Hygiene license and a Bachelor of Science degree, and her son Paul Wehner has just completed his first year of dental school at A.T. Still School of Dentistry in Kirksville, Missouri.

Dr. Wehner is committed to providing her patients with compassionate and gentle care. She and her staff are dedicated to helping each patient with their immediate dental concerns, and in providing competent and knowledgeable long-term dental care.

Paul D. Ranney, D.M.D.
Paul D. Ranney, D.M.D.General Dentist
Doctor Ranney is a native of Southern Indiana. He was originally born in Louisville, Kentucky, but soon moved to Indiana as a young child. Most of his childhood was spent in Jeffersonville, as well as the area of Floyd’s Knobs.

He obtained his undergraduate degree from Indiana University where he majored in Biology in the pre-medical track offered at the University. Like Doctor Wehner, he earned his Doctorate in Dental Medicine from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. He embraces the mixture of technology, science and medicine in a modern dental practice.

Dr. Ranney met the love of his life, Ginger in 2014. She is a native of Tennessee and is a beloved-by-her-students school teacher. They were married in 2015 and Ginger moved to Indiana where they now live in Jeffersonville.

Their family doesn’t have any children, but they are busy raising their spunky Havanese dog, Smalls, who was named for the character in the motion picture “The Sandlot”. Dr. Ranney and his wife love going out to see movies, attending concerts of their favorite bands and artists, and they love to travel. Spending time with family and friends is really important to them, and whenever possible they jump at the chance to take a ride on a Segway!

I am so happy that I can finally smile without worrying about what people think of my teeth. The experience has changed my life!.
