Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions that restore function and aesthetics. Our team uses advanced 3D imaging to plan precise implant placement that maximizes bone integration. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and confidence in their smile's appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers address cosmetic concerns like gaps, stains, and misshapen teeth through thin, durable ceramic shells. This treatment creates uniform, stain-resistant smiles that maintain natural tooth structure. Patients achieve dramatic transformations with minimal tooth preparation required.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help patients with dental anxiety receive necessary care in a relaxed state. We offer oral and IV sedation methods tailored to individual needs. This service enables completion of complex treatments in fewer visits while maintaining patient comfort.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy treats gum disease and oral lesions with precision that minimizes tissue damage. This technology promotes faster healing and reduces post-operative discomfort. It's used for procedures ranging from gum reshaping to cold sore treatment.
Complete Smile Makeovers
Smile makeovers combine multiple treatments to address comprehensive dental needs. We develop customized plans integrating restorative and cosmetic procedures that improve both function and aesthetics. This approach creates balanced, healthy smiles that enhance overall facial appearance.

First time here and it was great. Super clean, friendly, and no wait time. I was shown spots on my teeth and the doctor explained well. Not to mention the scenery you get when you sit down. All the windows face a grassy brown fenced area with bird feeders, it's a really pretty view. It's family owned so there's no push to get you to buy anything. They even checked if my insurance covered something and told me the price before I made my decision. I will definitely go back.

First visit today, I was a bit apprehensive, due to the last two experiences at two separate dentist. Elizabeth, James and Jessica were attentive, personal without being intrusive and I felt as if they truly care about my dental health not just in it for the money they can collect. Great office and great experience. Service was quick, booked my first appointment within a week of calling and my second the next day. Highly recommend this dentist for all family members and all tooth care.

I look forward to getting to see my hygienist and she has been so awesome and great numbing me on top and bottom doing cleaning and laser. I also enjoy both dentist acknowledging me and being genuine. I have loved my experience and love they know my part to pay that day. They are efficient and pretty awesome!

Dr. Gabhart and his staff are always professional and caring. My mom who will be 90 soon needed some work done on her teeth. She did not have a dentist so I took her to mine. Dr. Gabhart and his staff were so kind and helpful and completed the work on the first visit in a very timely manner. We left and my mom kept telling me how pleased she was with her visit. Thank you to all the wonderful people at Dr. Gabhart's Dental Office!

I have much to say about Gabhart after just one visit. First, I contacted them late on a Thursday when they would be closed Friday and Monday. They contacted me on Friday via text and scheduled me for a visit quickly since I had a semi-emergency. I've always been nervous (at some times, TERRIFIED) at the dentist. Then, add a whole new dentist and staff to the mix. I was quite anxious. When I arrived, the office was already a calming space.
The front office staff answered all my questions and were so nice, and my wait was super short. I went back for my procedure and was treated with respect and kindness. A lot of dentists dismiss your anxiety when you confess having some anxiety about being there. Nope! I was comforted and told how normal it is, which already calmed me down. They were totally transparent about pricing and the steps required to fix my tooth.
I appreciated it all. I also spent a few minutes chatting with Dr. Gabhart himself. My experience was amazing. I even purchased their insurance as I checked out because the benefits seemed really great for a one-time fee per year. I will definitely be recommending them.

I had a wonderful experience at Gabhart Dentistry today. Sydney, my hygienist was warm, friendly and very thorough in cleaning my teeth. She was also most helpful in getting me the information that I needed. The dentist (Jessica) was also very detailed in explaining the process for my upcoming crown and put me right at ease. Their front office staff was also extremely helpful!
