I am a native of Connecticut and completed both my undergraduate degree and my doctorate in dental medicine from the University of Connecticut. I have been working in private practice dentistry since completion of my AEGD residency in 2008. I practiced in Connecticut for five years before moving to the Seacoast in 2013. At that time, I joined Dr. Karelitz and Dr. Kennedy at their long-established practice here in Dover. The patients in this office are truly what make dentistry such a wonderful career. I find it interesting and rewarding to interact with different people every day and feel as though I can make a positive change in their lives by improving their oral health. Dentistry has offered me a great opportunity to know my patients on a personal level and truly feel a part of the community.

I believe its imperative to stay current with patient care, including new techniques, technologies, and dental materials. I seek relevant continuing education topics each year to both improve my dental skillset and stay current with medical and pharmacological advances. Most recently I am participating in a Zimmer Biomet PathwayZ series, aimed at treatment planning and executing implant dentistry.

My husband, Dr. Chris King of Dover Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and I relocated to New Hampshire to be close to all of the activities we love. Whether it's hiking, skiing, hitting the beach or water sports on the lake, we find ways to get outside and enjoy this beautiful area. And now, with four little ones at home, we are committed to exposing them to these same things! We've made our home in Madbury, and when we aren't home doing yard work, you can find us on the sidelines of the soccer field, the ice rink, or up north on the bunny slopes. We love seeing our patients at community activities and feeling a deeper connection to the area with every handshake.

Since beginning my dental career, I have always focused on providing quality care to all my patients. I make it my priority to take the time to listen to my patients concerns and individual needs so that we can work together to come up with the best possible oral health plan. I find it most rewarding being able to give a patient that confidence to smile again, relieving a painful tooth, or preventing a future dental problem from occurring. Treating people of the community, who trust and respect me as their dentist, is what makes every day an enjoyable experience.

I am very happy to have joined this wonderful practice in Dover, where the whole team puts the patients needs first. I am committed to giving patients the same quality care that has been provided here for over thirty years.

Dentistry is a profession of constant learning and evolving technology. It is crucial for me to stay current and up to date with all that is available. I strive to continue educating myself so I can provide the best possible service to my patients, whether it be modifying current techniques, or incorporating new learned knowledge.

I grew up in Massachusetts North Shore and have always enjoyed spending time in the New England outdoors. My wife and I are the proud parents of three amazing children that give us joy every day. When not practicing dentistry, I can be found outside hiking, heading to the mountains to snowboard, and exploring the many great restaurants of the Seacoast.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.

I am proud to be a part of this team, and have been for the past 25 years. In that time, Ive worked with a wide variety of people, getting to know them one-on-one and improving their dental health and attitude about it. Dr. King and Dr. Carroll work well together themselves and it sets the tone for the rest of us. They have respect for each others opinions and Ive always felt that my job and input has always been respected. The rest of the team works well together also. At times we can all be a bit difficult, but it always works. A sense of humor always helps too! When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my most cherished dog, and rooting for all of the New England sports teams. I also enjoy spending time with my family, especially my nieces and nephews.

As a dental hygienist, I've had the priviledge of working with so many good people for over 25 years, many becoming friends. I particularly enjoy connecting and working with the elderly and people with special needs, helping them stay healthy. This is an amazing team to be part of with Dr. King and Dr. Carroll. It is great to consistently see the mutual respect and confidence that they show in each other and their staff. Outside of the office you can find me spending time with my family and grandchildren, camping or cooking up great food.

I am a Registered Dental Hygienist with a bachelors degree from the University of New England. I have been practicing in Southern NH since 2010, joining Dr. King and Dr. Carrolls team in 2017. I pride myself on being gentle, yet thorough. I feel especially accomplished when I can make people with previous negative memories of dentistry, feel comfortable and happy to be receiving care. When Im not working with patients, you can find me spending time with my husband and our dogs. We like spending time outdoors, whether its going for walks in the woods, four wheeling, working in the garden or taking care of the farm animals.

I have found this office to be full of fun and caring people and I enjoy working in this upbeat environment. The staff here is bonded in a way that feels like family and we treat our patients that way as well. I strive to make every patients office visit enjoyable, offering the utmost comfort, care, and all-around outstanding experience. I genuinely look forward to assisting the doctors in helping bring you optimal oral health and great smiles. As a Certified Dental Assistant, I have several expanded function certifications, including radiology from Tufts University. I am responsible for maintaining the office supply orders as well as managing our in-office dental lab. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, wood burning, and experimenting with new recipes.

I am the newest member of the team, joining in 2019 as a certified dental assistant,however I feel as though Ive been part of this team for years. I clicked with this team from day one and feel as though this office has become my work home. I bring to the table a range of knowledge from over 20 years of dental experience, including pediatric, general chair side, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Here at Dr. King and Carrolls office, you will also find me at the front desk helping to answer phones and serve patients. My prior work experience includes ten years in public health, serving the homeless and underprivileged population of New Hampshire. I have received my radiology certification from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine as well as several expanded function certifications for sealants, coronal polishing, nitrous monitoring, and temporary crown and bridge fabrication from NHTI. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, John, and my two daughters, Gabriella and Alexa. I also have a love for animals and am currently training my golden retriever, Penelope to be a therapy dog.

Welcome to the family dental practice of Dr. Liza A. King and Dr. Patrick Carroll. Here, all our team members work one-on-one with our patients and our doctors see only one patient at a time. You receive their full attention, always. We want you to know that you are in excellent hands, that we appreciate the trust you place in us, and we will do what is required to ensure you are comfortable with all treatment provided.

Our treatment area is staffed by talented dental professionals, who are not only at the top of their field in the care they provide, but who genuinely enjoy getting to know our patients. The friendships that develop, between us and those we care for, means we look forward to each work day, because we know we will get to see people we like and that well provide them with dental care that will improve their health.

I was a patient of this practice since Dr's Bob Karelitz & Sheila Kennedy started in it the early 1980's. I recently moved out of state. With transition, over the past years, Dr. Carroll and Dr. King have taken the baton and continued the professional, down to earth, caring, family style service that Bob and Sheila were so well known for. Dr. Carroll (Patrick) is a super good guy; friendly down earth, very detailed and professional. This practice will take care of you. Connie, the front office manager is a pro; she'll get things done. Eileen was my hygienist for as long as I can remember; 20+ years. Great people here. They will never try to sell you on anything. Their number one priority is caring for your dental health with compassion and understanding. True professionals.

I needed an emergency tooth extraction recently (my baby tooth finally gave up after 50+ years.) Dr. Liza King readily made herself available on a Sat. morning so I didn't have to wait through the rest of the weekend until regular business hours. She worked efficiently and expertly and got the job done even when the extraction became more complicated than expected. Her willingness to take time away from her family to treat a patient went beyond my expectations. Her and her husband make a great team...what a sweet family!

I have been going here for quite some time. Dr. King just joined, and she is a fantastic addition to the team. My son was in need of a painful treatment today and I cannot say enough about Bob, Shiela, and the new Dr. King. Not to mention the rest of the staff who continue make this office a great experience every time. I feel like family when I am there, and I can only give them praise and the highest recommendations.
