Theres nothing more frustrating than when a dental office has double-booked (or even triple-booked) patients, meaning that the time you should be given with your dentist is being split amongst two or three other people.

Thats the difference that Dr. Kerr and her team brings, whether youre here for a checkup or other service.

My patients comfort is always my top priority. Thats why, before performing any treatment, I go over the process step-by-step, and during the actual procedure, I frequently check-in to make sure the person is OK. I believe that no one should have to endure discomfort to simply take care of their teeth.

I pride myself on my light and gentle touch, and my patients are often surprised by what they dont feel while in the dental chair. To me, Im not just taking care of a bunch of teeth, but a living, breathing person, and this helps me provide the kind of dentistry that makes it easy for patients to stay relaxed.

When I was a teenager, I was extremely self-conscious about my appearance because my teeth were so messed up. I avoided smiling and showing them at all costs! I eventually went through a 5-year process that involved dental and orthodontic treatment. Ill never forget the day my braces came off and I saw my new smile for the first time. It helped me finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to give people this same feeling, and this is what motivated me to pursue dentistry.

Owning my practices is so empowering as a dentist, as I not only get to choose my team members as well as the technology I use, but I also get to dictate the overall vibe of my offices. Instead of lifeless clinics, Ive turned my offices into a home away from home that is filled with small personal touches from myself and my team. This way, when people step through our doors, they feel like theyre visiting a friend's house.
