Dentist, Owner
Carolyn Taggart-Burns, DDS
“I chose dentistry because I have a passion to help others and use my creative skills. I chose general dentistry because I believe in treating the person as a whole. As a general dentist, I am the gatekeeper for my patients’ overall oral health success. Working with patients, working with my hands and creating esthetic outcomes is quite compelling for me.
“I enjoy seeing the smiles on my patients’ faces and the many hugs we exchange. I strive to know each patient as a person so I can give them personalized, individualized care. Everyone has a story and, although I am just a small speck in their life stories, I can give them positive experiences and outcomes. I can give them optimal oral health that lasts a lifetime.
“I am a restorative dentist at the core. I love rebuilding things that have broken down and turning them into successful functioning oral health. I love creating while achieving comfort and harmony. My goals are my patients’ goals.”
In her free time, Dr. Taggart-Burns loves to run, read and spend time with her family. She enjoys the arts and sporting events. Her personal interests right now revolve around watching her son and daughter growing up and enjoying life!
