Services
Composite Fillings
Our mercury-free composite fillings restore damaged teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. Using biocompatible materials, we repair cavities and fractures with precision bonding techniques that strengthen tooth structure. This service provides durable, long-lasting solutions that blend seamlessly with your existing smile.
Dental Implants
Implant dentistry offers permanent solutions for missing teeth through titanium root integration. We provide complete implant services from surgical placement to custom crown restoration. This treatment restores full chewing function while preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure integrity.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth discreetly using removable, transparent aligner trays. Our customized treatment plans address crowding, spacing, and bite issues without traditional brackets. Patients enjoy improved oral hygiene access and minimal disruption to daily activities during treatment.
Pediatric Dentistry
We specialize in creating positive dental experiences for young patients through age-appropriate care techniques. Our services include preventive checkups, fluoride treatments, and early orthodontic evaluations. The practice features a dedicated kids' playroom to create a welcoming environment for families.
Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening services deliver superior results compared to over-the-counter products. We offer customized take-home trays and in-office treatments that safely lighten enamel stains. Our solutions address discoloration from coffee, wine, and aging while minimizing tooth sensitivity.

I've been a patient for several years now and I've always had good experiences at Larkridge Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a Dentist. Dr. Carroll is excellent and the entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Special shout out to the hygienist from my most recent visit, Chris, she's incredible!

I don't remember my hygienist's name, but i had my appointment today (June 6, 2022 at 12pm). She wasn't listed on the website, but she was very kind and gentle and i'm not really one for small talk, so I really appreciated the comfortable silence we shared. It was a great experience!

Not awful, but not really great. They require a consultation before accepting you as a patient even for cleaning (which has to be at another time), which they of course charge you for. That's unusual and a little inconvenient, but I rolled with it. Decided to get invisiline tooth alignment work done. Their cost structure was a little deceptive (and ultimately, not very competitive). I got a little weirded out by how they were handing it, and went with a orthodontist.

But the real kicker is they expect you to go for cleaning every 6 months, as many dentists do. I tend to go more like once a year. However, if you don't go per their schedule they drop you as a patient and then if you want to schedule a cleaning you have to do another consultation. That's pointless moneygrubbing, and is the last straw for me. I'll find another.

Nice to see this place has 4.6 stars but just because they have 4.6 stars doesn't mean they are good! The front staff are very sweet and kind but the female dentist is very short and rude! I will never go back to this office again! Dr. Carroll made me feel like I was just an open wallet and then when I refused service she got up and walked away without any explanation. DO NOT GO HERE! DOCTOR IS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!

I was there for a regularly scheduled cleaning and the technician did an excellent job. I am very pleased with Larkridge. The only thing I might mention is that for the first time I had a panoramic xray so I wasn't prepared for the added cost of my visit.

While I doubt anyone enjoys trips to the dentist, this practice does a great job of making patients feel comfortable. I have gone to Larkridge Family Dentistry for many years and am happy with the services provided.
