Dr. Garrett is a Tulsa native. After graduation he attended the University of Oklahoma for his undergraduate degree and later returned for OU’s College of Dentistry, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) accreditation and became a member of the ADA.

Three years later, he met the love of his life, Dr. Kristen Smith. Dr. Kristen is a chiropractor who, along with many other doctors in her family, has a deep interest in whole-body health. This piqued Dr. Garrett’s curiosity, and began his journey into the world of holistic dentistry.

Since then, he has worked with his wife and her family in a committed effort to not only address the dental needs of his patients but to help them make deeper connections between their oral health and overall wellness. He diligently researches procedures and materials that will effectively treat patients with the smallest biological impact possible. As part of that process, he has become an accredited member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT).

WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?

Crowns are false teeth or caps that are inserted in place of a missing tooth using a titanium post or implant. Crowns are made to look and feel like natural teeth. They’re durable and effective solutions to broken, infected, or missing teeth, and commonly used. Crowns protect the surrounding teeth from further infection and helps preserve oral health in general.

WHO NEEDS DENTAL CROWNS?

Teeth Whitening

Are you reluctant to smile for pictures because of your yellow teeth? Teeth whitening is an easy, painless treatment that boosts your self esteem and gives you a beautiful, glowing smile. You can come to our office for bleaching sessions or take home a bleaching kit to do yourself! Either way, we’ve got you covered.

Teeth Sensitivity

A common side-effect of teeth whitening is heightened teeth sensitivity. Usually, this sensitivity lasts about 24 hours, but should go away completely with time. Pain medications have helped patients in the past who have dealt with especially bad teeth sensitivity.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Dentistry is about more than disease prevention and cleanliness. It’s also about beauty and confidence! It’s proven that having bright, straight teeth contributes to one’s self esteem.

We at Healthy Roots Dentistry want all our patients to not only have healthy teeth, but beautiful sparkling teeth they can proudly show off to the world! For this reason, we offer a variety of tried-and-true cosmetic dentistry procedures to our patients.

Veneer

A veneer is a wafer-thin shell made to fit the outer edge of a discolored or damaged tooth. Veneers are an alternative to full coverage dental crowns, and can be temporary or permanent depending on your needs and timeline.

Veneers are usually made of sturdy porcelain, and hold up well to regular chewing and stress. If you have discolored or damaged teeth, a veneer may be the right option for you.

Oral Sedation Dentistry

A lot of people experience anxiety at the thought of going to the dentist. This is completely normal and understandable; in the past, dentistry was scary and painful!

Luckily, modern technology has transformed the dental experience into one that can be comfortable, safe, and anxiety-free.

If you’re feeling like you’d rather do anything but go to the dentist’s office, there are options for you. With oral sedation you will be prescribed a relaxing sedative to help ease your anxiety during your appointment, so you can still get the essential dental work you need without all the stress.

Sedation dentistry is safe, closely regulated, and can make all the difference as you continue to make your oral health a priority.
