Dr. Karen Carlton, DMD

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Plain and simply, I care about people. I listen to them. I truly want to help them. Many of my patients have come with great fears of going to the dentist and the pain involved and I have been able to alleviate those fears without medications and with the gentle nature of everyone in our office.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

I am very excited at the present to have recently trained in different procedures which will allow my patients to have less travel to specialists. I do all facets of dentistry and prefer to plan the treatment of each patient in advance. We offer Zoom whitening, Invisalign, TMD appliances, and same-day porcelain crowns.

What are you proud of in your practice?

I am proud of the relationships that I have established with my patients and take those relationships very seriously. I try very hard to do what is best for each patient, not the most expensive treatment. but what is within their budget and what they are comfortable having done. I believe that each patient has the responsibility for a lot of their own dental needs as well as their treatment. I just want to help them reach their goals.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

I enjoy treating natural smiles and the whole person. I don't wish to give everyone the same white teeth as in the magazines, but would rather try to improve the unique smile that makes each of us different. I also enjoy treating the whole person, such as when their medical issues or habits affect their dental health.
