Cannot say enough good things about Dr Harris and his staff. Over the course of 2 years + Dr Harris worked with me so I could have what I needed at the price I could afford. Dr Harris is a perfectionist which is a very good quality for a dentist. Im extremely happy with my end result and can fully smile for the first time in years.Thank you Dr Harris. Kathy H
Dr. Harris comes to Edgartown with proven experience in all areas of general dentistry, including dental implants. Prior to taking over for Dr. John Hartley, he practiced part-time in Vineyard Haven and Brewster, MA for the past 6 years.

Dr. Harris enjoys all facets of general dentistry. He has more than 27 years experience in providing all major types of dental implant treatment. He can also provide endodontic therapy (root canal) and basic oral surgery services (extractions) to island residents. Patients will no longer have to travel off the island in many cases. Dr. Harris especially likes talking with patients to help them achieve or maintain a healthy mouth, and enjoy an attractive smile. He welcomes questions from patients regarding what types of dental care would best serve them for their long term health.
Dr. Harris grew up in Waltham, MA, where he attended the local public high school. He received his Bachelors degree in Biology, Cum Laude, at The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA in 1977, where Senator Edward Kennedy gave the commencement address. He graduated with a DMD degree from Boston University School of Dental Medicine in 1981.
Dr. Harris has been a member of the Cape Cod District Dental Society, the Massachusetts Dental Society, and the American Dental Association for his entire career. He has served on various committees at the state and local level, including the Peer Review Committee, and has held numerous offices at the district level, including Chairman for two years.

Professionally low key and non pressuring. I hadn't been to a dentist in quite some time and this was my first visit which turned out just great!

Edgartown Dental Group is a wonderful dental practice. The office is calming and the staff professional and kind. My husband had fairly serious dental issues as a result of 6 weeks of radiation treatment for lymphoma. Dr Harris' work got his dental problems fixed and repaired. Highly recommend!

I arrived to MV and realized that I needed some immediate dental attention. I was grateful to receive a high reference from a friend for Dr. Harris' office and even more grateful when they were able to see me within a few days because of a cancellation. The office was very comfortable, the staff was polite and professional...and most important, the medical treatment I received was excellent.
