I am a native Texan who grew up in South Austin. I fell in love with dentistry as a young girl being an orthodontic patient for 4 years myself. I was the patient always asking for a mirror to watch what they were doing to my teeth. At the end of my treatment, my orthodontist asked me 'Would you like a job?'.
I worked for him my junior and senior year of high school through a program called 'Health Occupations'. I graduated from Crockett High School with a Honor Society Scholarship. I attended the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and graduated from the dental hygiene program with an outstanding achievement award as top of my class.
I joined the Adair Dental family in 2000, when they expanded to their new office. We have a wonderful team of experienced dental health professionals who support each other and love our patients. I take great pride in providing my patients with individualized dental care in all phases of life. From happy visits to graduation, I strive for decay free checkups with each of my patients. I love helping my patients learn how a healthy mouth is essential to good overall health.
I married my high school sweetheart and we have had an incredible life together. We have enjoyed camping, hiking, and four-wheeling in the mountains of Colorado, snorkeling in the Yucatan, exploring Alaska, kayaking in Texas and Idaho, and mountain biking whenever we can. Our newest adventure is riding our BMW motorcycle through the Hill Country. I personally love practicing yoga, gourmet cooking, and xeroscaping my yard for wildlife.
I spent my childhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico before moving to Midland, Texas in high school. I received my Associate of Applied Science degree in Dental Hygiene from Amarillo College in 1988, graduating with honors and the award of top clinician in my class. I moved to Austin immediately after graduation, where I met my husband Kraig. We have been blessed with two great kids, Kaitlin and Koby, and have LOVED watching them grow up in Dripping Springs, having lived here since 1999.
The Adair Dental family welcomed me in 2000, and it has been a true pleasure to be part of such a quality practice. I feel so lucky to have found a profession that I love, and strive to share my experience and knowledge with all my patients. I am a compassionate, thorough, and patient-focused hygienist with over 30 years of successful practice. I love using my passion for health to help my patients achieve and maintain a healthy smile, which contributes to overall wellbeing. I am known for my gentle touch and my ability to connect with people, whether they are 3 or 103!
I was born and raised in Houston, TX. After high school I attended Texas State Technical College in Waco to become a Dental Assistant. I worked as an assistant for 7 years before attending The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston to become a Registered Dental Hygienist in 2006.

I went to a different dentist for years after getting an infection in my jaw that ultimately created some bone loss. Adair was the only dentist I saw that knew I needed surgery and today I am almost 100 percent again! I always get a great cleaning and great service. Wonderful people who know their stuff. I really wish I had found them sooner!

The staff is always pleasant and compassionate while working on you. The environment is very relaxing as you get to watch birds and foxes out this large picture window while you're having your dental procedures done. I have no anxiety on to the dentist at Adair dentistry

You will never find a more excellent dentist that Dr. Carol Daderian -- she is skilled, runs on-time (yes!) and she is a joy to know. Five stars is not enough for this wonderful lady and her well-chosen staff.
