Dr. Carr established her dental practice here in Mandeville, Louisiana in March of 1996. She received her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree with distinction from the University of Oklahoma in June of 1992, after which she sought further education in dentistry through an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. Dr. Carr taught dentistry in the clinical setting of OU College of Dentistry, and at LSU School of Dentistry, and also at Rose State College in Oklahoma teaching pathology to dental hygiene students. While in Oklahoma, Dr. Carr had the difficult honor of helping at the Medical Examiners office after the devastating terrorism that occurred at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. She was able to help the dental team gather data that aided in the identification of the victims in that horrible event.
Professionally, Dr. Carr has been active in the American Association of Women Dentists, Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, Oklahoma Dental Association, Louisiana Dental Association, Northlake Dental Association, Krewe of Dental Review Study Club, Lake Ponchartrain Study Club, Omicron Kappa Upsilon and other affiliations. Within the AAWD, Dr. Carr has served for years as the District XII Trustee, followed by being the Editor of the Chronicle which is a newsletter that appeared in the national journal, Woman Dentist Journal, and then, Secretary of AAWD before taking time out for her family.
Martha Carr was born in Washington, DC, lived in Roswell, New Mexico, then in Kansas, and Oklahoma before relocating to Mandeville, Louisiana in 1996. She married a local boy from Covington, named Jeff Falkenstein. Martha and Jeff are the proud parents of Cecilia and Elise and Gabriella. Dr. Carr also has an I Do child she is very proud of named Aaron. Jeff and Martha love music and have played in various bands, as well as in the Contemporary Church Choir at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Old Mandeville. Jeff and the children were all inspired by Aaron's love for the theatre, and they perform in various plays and musicals. Dr. Carr is very proud of her little thespians.
Dr. Carr enjoys her family, getaways to the beach anywhere, walking along the lakefront, music, singing, playing the flute, and learning how to play the piano. She also dabbles in writing songs with her husband, and alone.
Dr. Martha Anne Carr firmly believes in prevention and conservative treatment when it comes to dentistry. She strives to make the dental environment pleasant and enjoyable, and even fun. She loves to laugh and make others join her and enjoys the company of all of her patients whom she considers her extended family. She is passionate about all that she does and always strives to give her best and do what she would do for herself or a family member. Her smile is always something she has been complimented on, and she wants everyone to be happy and healthy in their own smiles. Let her know what she can do for yours!
My name is Jeff Falkenstein. I have been a part of this amazing dental practice for many years in various ways, but I assumed the job of office manager in October of 2015. I have four incredible children, who keep me grounded and keep me young. When Im not working to make this the best dental practice ever, I enjoy music, both songwriting and performing, and I enjoy acting both on film and in local theater productions.
Hello my name is Alicia Winslow. I am an 2016 graduate of LSU where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Dental hygiene. It is my goal to make a difference and educate my patient's on their oral health care and want them to feel comfortable and confident with each visit. I currently live in Covington, Louisiana with my husband Jonathan and three beautiful children Benjamin (6), Adalynn (4) and Julian (2). In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, planning trips to Disney, cooking and baking
Dr. McCracken is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of LSU and has been practicing for over thirty years in Mandeville. He is a new and happy member of the MAC Family Dentistry practice, although he has had a long professional relationship with Dr. Carr. They have consulted and taken call with each other for many years. He 's lived in Mandeville since 1988, is married to his beautiful wife, Roxanne, and slightly annoyed that his son has moved to Houston with his new wife, but understands, since that 's how he came to be back in Louisiana where he belongs. Like many in Louisiana, he enjoys fishing, festivals, music, and LSU football. He 's never been a fan of the term 'practice' to describe a professional career and prefers the term 'experience' to describe how growth in knowledge expands with time. He loves what he does and has no plans on retiring, so stop asking, he 's here for the long haul.

Dr Carr is the best! What other doctor would take a cell phone call on her day off and treat a patient in distress. She has had my trust and admiration for the last 16 years. Couldn't be happier!

% Absolutely the most enjoyable time I've ever spent at a dentist office and not because I had a good report / no issues The hygienist is gentle yet through: the staff is marvelous and Dr McCracken is my dentist I couldn't be more pleased with my visit. I have no doubt that his partners are excellent as well. The good part is in this dental office no one will sell you on procedures you don't need.

Absolutely amazing experience - I've never actually enjoyed going to the dentist before, but Dr. Carr and her entire staff are so warm and welcoming it makes you feel like you're going to a party. She's also amazingly thorough, she's completely spoiled me for any other dentist now. Make the switch, you won't be sorry!

Well, for starters I've never been to a dentist that served cookies in the waiting room. Seems rather odd. But I went anyways. She was very nice, but it became very expensive as she did not take my insurance (MetLife) and she was under no obligation to agree to their prices, which she didn't. I've been to other dentist that are not contracted with my insurance, but still honor their prices. It ended up costing me two to three times as much as with dentist that take or honor my insurance. Lesson learned. But I thought at least I got good care. So I've now gone to a new dentist this month and they had to work on two of my teeth. He showed me images of one tooth that had a broken filling and the other needed the filling replaced. Turns out it was the two fillings I had gotten from Dr. Carr. This was 2 1/2 years later. I have fillings still working from 20+ years ago, so they can last much longer. This was very alarming and disappointing to have them needed to be replaced so quickly. In summary, she's nice, the office is very nice, but she is expensive and it turns out not the best dentist.

She and her staff have the best attitude always! They are so much fun and kind. She will take great care of your teeth and prepare you for things you might have to face in the future but is not pushy about doing things you don't need.

Over the years Dr. Carr and her staff have provided remarkable service and exemplary dental care. My most recent visits did not disappoint. The challenges of living and working in a "Covid" world are certainly difficult and visiting your dentist provides heightened challenges. However, at Dr. Carr's office, the entire staff are extremely careful to take every precaution humanly possible. I was amazed that anyone with close contact to a patient wore not only a very uncomfortable N95 mask, but an additional disposable mask over that one, in addition to a face shield. They also wore disposable gowns that they changed for each encounter with a patient. Finally, I was led both into and out of the office space by an assistant so I didn't have to touch anything in the common areas. If you a concerned about visiting your dentist during these times, please consider Dr. Carr as your provider. You will receive excellent dental care, while being assured that your visit will be entirely safe. Matt
