I've been going to see Dr Hart for many years and she's is hands down the best! She is super sweet, knowledge, and genuinely cares about you! I am a nervous patient due to previous experiences with other dentists but she goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and ensure your visit is stress and worry free. Highly recommend her office!

I have some anxiety at the dentist & they always show such kindness & patience with me. Also, I love that Dr. Hart & her staff provide DIY solutions that I can do at home to improve my oral & myofacial health. They provide the whole gamut of treatment options. Thankful for Dr. Hart & her staff!

I am so thankful we found Dr. Hart. Both of my sons have done myobrace with her and we are extremely pleased with the kind service and outcomes. She is always ready to answer questions, and share her knowledge. The quality of care we receive is excellent every time. She also recommended a night guard for me after looking at my tmj that has helped my sleep and hope to help preserve my teeth and jaw. I am thabkful she takes a holistic approach. We drive 3 hrs to see her because she is a biological dentist. Christine is especially wonderful in her excellent care and tailoring the myofunctional program for each of my children. She is top notch, in skill and care. Thankful for the blessing this office has been to our whole family! I plan to start myofunctional therapy and myobrace with my younger child when the time comes as well.

During the Covid lockdown, I thoroughly researched natural healing and boosting the body's long-term health. This year, I discovered the potential damage that silver (amalgam) fillings can cause to the brain and body. This scared the heck out of me! I began searching for local holistic and high-tech restorative dentists, then came across Dr. Hart and her team. They were welcoming since the first call, always on top of things, and genuinely cared for you as their patient. I drove nearly 3 hours to receive her treatment and will continue doing so throughout my process. I recommend Dr. Hart to anyone who cares about their health and teeth!

My husband had a crown made by a different dentist, that came off over 4th of July. Dr Hart and her staff did an amazing job getting him taken care of. My entire family just loves her and the holistic approach she takes toward our dental needs.

The entire team is awesome; care for the whole person and of course your beautiful smile when you walk out! I was introduced through a TMJ issue my other dentist could not help with and left me feeling helpless. A new, and perfectly designed nightguard changed my world as TMJ is no fun. I was fixed! They had the solution and even referred me to a specialist for physical therapy to ensure My whole person was healed. I cannot recommend them enough; don't hesitate to change dentists if you don't feel yours treats you like family.

I chipped one of my front teeth which required some cosmetic dentistry. I was pleased with the safety measures taken at Dr. Hart's office due to COVID-19. She did a beautiful job in repairing the damaged tooth. The staff was friendly and courteous. I've patronized her services for approximate one year and I'm pleased overall. I like that she practices organic dentistry.
