Dr. Tradd Harter has been creating classic smiles since 1999. An Anderson, South Carolina, native, Dr. Harter was drawn to the Athens area because of the communitys love of family, food, and of course, football! He associated with Dr. James Morang, eventually purchasing the practice in 2001. Dr. Morang remains a trusted mentor to this day. A photographer, motorcycle enthusiast, and hunter, Dr. Harter enjoys all of the natural beauty that Northeast Georgias outdoors has to offer.
He is a member of numerous dental organizations including the American Association of Orthodontists, Georgia Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Eastern District Dental Society, and Clarke County Dental Society. Dr. Harter has had the opportunity to take on leadership roles and believes that organized dentistry keeps the profession focused completely on the best interest of the patient.
Dr. Harters desire to provide life-changing results as well as his love for art and science lead Dr. Harter to becoming an orthodontist. His father and uncle are practicing physicians and their father was a general dentist. They were instrumental in his educational process and development to providing extremely high level of care with a highly personal touch.
Are we picky about who we add to our team? YES! In fact, the entire team is included in the hiring and training process to ensure that the team grows with the same philosophy and trust. We believe that this concept ensures that our clients are always working with the best in the business.
