Dr. Carol Ann Edwards was born to Charles and Diane Driscoll in 1968 at the Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Texas. At the ripe age of eight years old, Dr. Edwards decided she would grow up to become a dentist when she fell from her bicycle and broke her two front teeth!
She graduated from high school in 1986 and entered The University of North Texas the following fall semester, where she was pre-dental. While at UNT, Dr. Edwards pledged Zeta and enjoyed the hectic life of a college student.
For a year, she returned to Dr. Welborn 's office and practice as a dental hygienist. While doing so she met her husband, Staley, which she describes as, 'love at first sight.' They tied the knot in July of 1992, and she returned to dental school at Baylor in August of the same year.
They welcomed their first son, Scot, to the family in 1994. Dr. Edwards chose to take a year off to stay home with Scot, and during that time moved to Houston as a result of Staley's job transferring.
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When you receive a filling, Dr. Edwards will first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings) and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).
No one type of filling is best for everyone. What's right for you will be determined by the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost.
Amalgam (silver) fillings are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than porcelain or composite restorations and are not usually used in very visible areas, such as front teeth.

Best dentist in the world! Have been a long-time patient. Outstanding dental and administrative staff, a warm and friendly place; Dr. Edwards is an expert and I would not trust my teeth with anyone other dentist.

The staff was awesome! Very friendly and helpful all the way through my first experience. The most important part of this rating was the Dr.'s honesty. I did not have dental work performed that was not needed even after my last dentist said I did. I was informed by my last dishonest dentist that I needed a filling due to a cavity. Dr. Edwards said she could not find any cavity's. In my book honesty and Integrity are the most important part of health industry. I have found a dentist for life.

This was my first visit to Dr Edwards office and I must say the best experience I've ever had. I have sensitive teeth so cleaning them is stressful. It was stress free and everyone was so nice.

My friend referred me to see Dr Edwards. Everyone there so nice and so friendly. I went there for teeth cleaning and the lady who helped me was so gentle, cleaned my teeth one by one. I really enjoyed the service she provided, as comfortable as like having 5 star massage on my gum. Highly recommended!

Friendly and courteous staff. Dr. Edwards took time to explain. Best experience at a dental clinic ever, The clinic has a welcoming, caring and relaxing air. Wait time is short. Sometimes when you go to a dentist, you are overwhelmed with paperwork and payment issues, and you are lost as patient. Here I felt I was the focus. Did not feel the pressure of getting things done that your condition did not need.

Dr Edwards did an amazing job on my tooth! I had chipped a front tooth from a bike accident, and she made it look perfect. I am so happy that I found a practice that is friendly and easy to work with. Very very satisfied.

Fantastic staff happy to receive you. I felt at ease and the doctor was amazing too. I was referred by a close friend that has been their patient for 20+ years. It took me 29 minutes to get there but well worth it. I had my doubts cleared and was given explanations for all the things I had conveyed. In addition to all that there service was top notch. I felt taken care of today. I left feeling lighter and less worried.
