As a fixture in our community and a dedicated dental hygiene provider, we are thrilled KC is part of the Premier Dental Team! KC brings many years of experience. She attended Coastal BendCollege for dental hygiene and loving teeth and the beauty of a healthy and happy smile she began her career in cosmetic dentistry. Later, she moved to Lockhartand accepted a job with the University of Texas Medical Branch as a registered dental hygienist and facility auditor. That job came with much travel and as things became busier with teenage daughters she accepted a positioninLockhart. This allowed her to be closer to home as well as enabling more time with her family.
KC is passionate about utilizing her vast knowledge and compassionate nature to educate her patients to improve their oral health. She strives to ensure patients always feel 100% informed and comfortable during their visit. She finds great gratification in educating and helping patients overcome their dental fears and feeling comfort in their visit to her/their dental home. KC always enjoys searching for the next change or challenge to better serve patients and that benefits the team as a whole. She also enjoys dental consulting affording her the ability to keep abreast of the fast pace and ever-changing dental world.
She lives in Lockhart, Texas with her husband Marty and daughters Hanna and Presley. Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, and various outdoor activities. Her love for her career and people is a huge attribute for all the lives she touches.

The staff is amazing! KC is literally the best hygienist. Dr Verma was so kind and I felt nothing getting a filling. She was quick to go out of her way to help accommodate my schedule and same day treatment. The staff was amazing from the moment I walked in. I was so warmly welcomed by Angel and Geralyn! Thank you Amber, Dianna, and Carissa y'all are amazing assistants. Everyone there introduced themselves and made me feel like I knew all of them forever. Blessed to have this beautiful office in our small and fast growing town!

I haven't been to a dentist in over 20 years. I thought I would be getting a solution to all the pain in my teeth. I got X-rays and a check up..an offer to get invisible aligners (I have loose teeth) or a cleaning and fillings for a high dollar price. I would have ended up on a payment plan of 5k .. nice people but didn't get to the problem I have.

The dentist is new to the practice. She was friendly enough. The assistant did not introduce herself. She seemed lost at times which concerned me. Maybe she is to new. Assistant tried to explain cost estimates as if I knew dental terminology.????? She lost me for a bit and she had to go get the dentist. I felt that the dentist was rushing due to other pending appointments. This is my personal opinion!
