I love dentistry! It's a great joy to be able to help my patients know and understand true oral health. I like to go beyond simply fixing things. I want to know what caused the problem so we can make sure it is unlikely to happen again. This involves a totally different approach to dentistry -- comprehensive and complete dental care. Just think about what is the opposite of complete dentistry. Here's a hint - incomplete dentistry. I don't want that for me or you.
Dr. Christopher (Chris) Barnes is a dentist and office owner. Following graduation from L. V. Berkner High School in Richardson, Dr. Barnes attended Baylor University, earning a B.A. in Psychology. After earning his undergraduate degree, he worked in the business community while pursuinga graduate business degree. A new direction led Dr. Barnes to dental school where he graduated in 1998 from Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas.
Dr. Barnes is a member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, Dallas County Dental Society and American Academy of General Dentistry. These professional organizations encourage and promote high standards in dental care.
Dr. Barnes enjoys spending time with his family, running marathons and ultramarathons, woodworking and reading American history. He lives inMurphy with his wife Beth, also a graduate of Baylor University. Together they have 24-year-old triplets Lydee, Logan and Luke who graduated from Texas A&M University in 2019. All three married this past year.
Janet Coffee - What can I say? She simply keeps the show alive! Janet has worked in our office since birth. Well, not really, but since high school anyway. She loves her job with a passion that is indescribable. Janet is probably the first person you'll meet in our office. She is also one of our resident grandmothers.
Patty Patterson, RDA - Same thing as Janet, I'm not sure how to summarize Patty. Whatever the task Patty takes it on with full gusto. She has worked in our office for 20 years or so. Her loyalty and hard work mean the most to me and to our patients. Patty is also a resident grandmother. She'll gladly share photos when asked!
Tami Burton, RDH - As our longest tenured hygienist, Tami knows her stuff! She is more than a teeth cleaner. She truly wants our patient family to keep their teeth for a lifetime. I never have to worry about Tami and you won't either. You can count on excellent care and good conversation. She and her husband, Jeff, love bacon and dogs!
Ashlee Hendon, RDH - Ashlee has been described as the sweetest person people know. I'd have to agree. In addition, she loves her job and helping people understand how to keep their oral health in tip-top shape! Ashlee has worked for us for years and we are thankful for it. Josh is her loyal husband and shares parenting joy to their beautiful young daughters.
Shayne Young, RDH - Shayne is our rookie hygienist although she's been with us for several years and has worked in dental hygiene for many more. You'll love her! She's meticulous and in tune with patient's needs. Although she's from Arkansas, we love her anyway! She and her husband, Rob, have two active boys.

I am a 81 year old retired gynecologist with a bad tooth that needed to be extracted. I requested Dr Barnes that the extraction not be painful. It is difficult to treat an elderly patient and can be a tough procedure. Dr Barnes was able to extract the tooth without causing me any pain which tells me a lot about his experience and confidence . I would highly recommend Dr Barnes.Both he and his staff are amazing.

DDS. Christopher Barnes and his office provided the best experience I've had going to dentists. Everyone was down to earth and easy to talk to. They made recommendations on treatments based on my needs and the actual cleaning was easy and smooth. In the past I've had horrible experiences, hence I'll continue going to their office for all my needs moving forward.

I have been going here since 1975, when it was Dr. Welborn. Dr. Welborn was someone of the highest integrity: a true Godly man. When it was time to retire, he searched hard to find someone with the same characteristics as himself, along with being a top in his class dentist. Dr Barnes is great in his own right; but filled all of the check boxes Dr. Welborn was looking for. Dr. Barnes also has the highest quality staff. You will not find a higher quality, and nicer dentist in the area.

My husband and his family have been going to Dr. Barnes for many years, and when we got married I started going as well. They immediately treated me like family and went above and beyond to help me with some jaw issues I had been experiencing. I've never had to wait more than 2 minutes and they get everything done quickly and painlessly! Dr. Barnes is the nicest guy, and all of the staff are so kind and encouraging too. The best kind of people. I understand why my new family has been going to them since my husband was a child! They're awesome!!
