Our friendly and well-trained staff is here to serve you. We believe strongly in prevention and wellness. We offer restorative and cosmetic care, state-of-the-art dental techniques in a friendly relaxed atmosphere while maintaining strict infection-control protocol. We strive to implement cutting-edge technology as it becomes available; therefore, Dr. Karr, Dr. Hardee, and the staff are highly dedicated to the pursuit of lifelong learning.

Patient Safety

We maintain strict guidelines for infection control as recommended by the American Dental Association and The Center for Disease Control and our clinical staff routinely wears a mask and gloves. All instruments, including hand pieces, are cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized after each use. Whenever possible, single-use disposable items are used. All surfaces in each of the treatment rooms are cleaned and disinfected after each patient.

Patient Comfort

We have gone to great effort to insure that each and every dental visit is as comfortable as possible. In addition to topical and local anesthetic we also have nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") available. Many of our patients enjoy listening to CD's on headphones provided during treatment.

Preventive Dentistry

Dr. Karr, Dr. Hardee, and the staff believe that God designed your teeth to last for a lifetime. Regular preventive visits ("cleanings") are an integral part of maintaining excellent dental health. This visit includes a medical history update, an oral cancer screening, and monitoring your teeth and gums. Fluoride treatments are provided for children under the age of thirteen, and for adults when appropriate or requested. The frequency of your visits is based upon your individual needs and oral health (for most people, this is twice a year).

Restorative Dentistry

We provide state-of-the-art techniques for restoring teeth including implants, crowns, bridges, composite (tooth-colored) fillings, root canal therapy, third molar (wisdom teeth) removal, etc.

Cosmetic Dentistry

There are many treatment options available to improve your smile. These include bleaching (whitening), porcelain veneers, reconouring the teeth, and composite (tooth-colored) fillings. We encourage you to talk to us about which treatment option might be best for you.
