This is the best dental experience Ive ever had. Their techniques for making sure I was not afraid of the procedures or any shots made the whole experience painless and worthwhile.

I have been going to Dr. Tharps offices for almost 20 years and have never had a bad experience. Dr. Tharp and his staff are very polite and courteous every time I have an appointment. They are also very good about explaining things so that i understand everything that will be going on during my appointment. Top Notch!!!

Dr.Tharp is by far the best dentist I have ever worked with. He was so friendly and funny. He put me at ease immediately. I’ve never had such a thorough exam of my teeth. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that mini-implants are much more convenient and they can be attached to a narrow bone ridge which was my situation. The procedure was much faster than expected and minimally invasive, it required only two appointments over a 3 week period. Im happy with my implants, best investment Ive ever made!

Dr. Tharp is the best of the best! His staff is friendly, they get you in and out quickly, and Dr. Tharp is very knowledgeable and explains things super well. He has also been great in emergency situations and you can tell he really cares about his patients. I highly recommend!

Fantastic place with top of the line dentistry. I just had a full denture on my upper teeth using posts. Dr. Tharp educates himself with all the new procedures and will fit you with what works best for you and your pocketbook. I’m 54 years old, my teeth never looked this good. I can eat anything without worry, no Granny glue needed, they fit perfect. I’m actually proud to smile and don’t shy away from the cameras. Literally, a game changer!

The staff there were excellent , they make you feel safe and important ! The dentist was extremely good at explaining everything I needed to know about what I told him I wanted. At that point he went ahead and put together a great plan that I could begin now with aTransition down the line when I would financially be in a better place to then get the ones I would prefer for my permanent teeth! Then the nurse who also was kind and very helpful through showing me my financial choices as well as answering all my other questions! I I was very very Happy with my experiencewith them!! I will be returning!!

I came in for a consultation on a mini dental implant and walked out with one! I just need to go back for complete the process and for finishing touches! I was amazed at how nice the office staff were and Dr. Tharp was so enlightening. He was straightforward and sincere. I couldnt be more happier! I just wish I knew about him years ago!

Dr. Tharp is an Exceptional Dentist as well as his staff. His staff helped to ease my anxiety about my extensive dental procedure and they answered all my questions. Dr. Tharp is extremely professional and well skilled. What I felt most confident in is that his he is very experienced and highly skilled!! He went the extra mile to explain the implant procedure to me. He showed me the procedure in great detail even by taking a lot of time to show me photos on a computer what would be needed to get me to be able to get my teeth healthy again. He cares about meeting the needs of his patients. I needed a lot of implants and a tremendous amount of work on my teeth. I cannot thank Dr. Tharp enough for giving me back my ability to chew again without pain. I also feel confident when I smile now and feel proud to have bright white teeth again !! I never thought it could be possible. Its worth a million bucks to me!! I have already recommended Dr. Tharp to many others. His whole staff were there for me when I needed something and for that I am very grateful. Dr. Tharp by far is the BEST! !! I only wish I knew of him years ago he is the only dentist I have ever seen that provided such extensive dental work with minimal pain.

I was looking into switching dentists and I heard of Dr. Tharp from a family member. My appt. was this morning and I had the first, no pain cleaning/ checkup ever! Dr. Tharp was very personable & made it easy to understand what was going on with my teeth & what I need to do. Along with him, the dental hygienist was equally as friendly and caring for me throughout the appt. I cant believe I would say this, but I am actually looking forward to my next dentist appt! I would recommend him & his practice to anyone who wants to be put at ease, feel welcomed & cared for, sincerely.

Dr. Tharp and his entire staff were wonderful. The professionalism and compassion for what is not a comfortable procedure was truly evident. I was so apprehensive about how I would feel during and afterwards.Dr.Tharp and his staff quickly eased my concerns and truthfully my pain was barely noticable. When I tell peoole I spent 4 hours in a dental chair with minimal pain they all asked for his phone number. You can rest assure you will be in good hands here and at a very competitive price.

I recently had new implants installed by Dr. Tharp. The staff was very professional in a compassionate way. Dr. Tharp took time to listen to my issues and concerns and he thoroughly explained my treatment options. I found Dr. Tharp to be extremely knowledgeable and kind. I am now able to chew food correctly which helps my digestion. My dentures are now fitting properly in my mouth. This has been a choice that I am so glad I made. Dr. Tharp is an outstanding DDS, with an experienced and caring dental team.Terrie Walker

I only wish I could give more stars. Starting with the wonderful caring bedside manner to not to mention how comfortable and at easy he has you while in the chair. The examination given is very professional and detailed he doesn’t miss a step. He watches your pain level and adjusts accordingly. And best of all for the first time in 30 years I can finally bite into a sandwich, to me that is amazing. I expected to have a lot of pain this evening after my extensive procedure but I have very little. He is a profectionist! You don’t see that often. His staff is as knowledgeable as he is and I believe his manner of explaining every step of the way what and why he is doing things helps them to be the professionals that they are. I just can’t say enough about this experience they all work together as a team to make this a more pleasant experience. As you can tell I highly recommendDr Tharp.

Besides exceptional service the entire office staff was very friendly and engaging..Dr. Tharp explains in detail what hes doing, not only is his work very, very good but he tries to make sure you are completely satisfied once the work is done. The hygienist that I saw on my last visit was also very good at her job explaining in great detail what she was doing and why and also what I needed to be doing in terms of maintenance on my teeth ( the few that I have left anyway ).I would highly recommend them to anyone

Excellent. I couldnt recommend this office enough. I came in to have my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Tharp and his staff were more than patient with explaining things, and making me feel comfortable about the procedure. The procedure itself was a cake walk and he made sure I was more than numb so that I didnt feel a thing. Gentle hands and an overall kind and gentle staff all around. You wont regret going here for your dental needs!

The man, Dr Tharp, is amazing. He spoke with me in a way that wasnt hard to understand, he outlined a treatment plan that was tailored for my particular mouth issues. He showed passion for his craft. I listened carefully as he instructed his staff about every phase of what was going on with my treatment. I only wish I had found out about him sooner.Thanks Dr Tharp.

Review №34

I got my first mini implant here 5 years ago. At that time I couldnt find any other dentist who would do a mini. Dr. Tharp was the only one doing mini implants, so I took my chances since it sounded so easy and cheaper ( half price of a regular implant). I was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethics. The extraction of the old tooth and implant placement took what it seemed like only minutes and no pain afterwards. Now I tell everyone about minis and recommend Dr. Tharp to anyone who needs dental work. Just few weeks ago he saved me again when I was in dire pain from an absested tooth. He was able to take me in the next day and I walked away with the new implant.

Dr Tharp might be a good doctor, but I would urge everyone to be aware of their insurance process corrupt practice. Have all the fees in print and then check with your in-network dentist office for a second estimate.

I accompanied my mom here for a free consultation regarding some dentures. My two front teeth has been chipped for quite some time which alters my smile. I asked Dr Tharp if he could fix them, he said can you take a free x-ray? I had the x-ray done and he pointed out to me some additional things that needed attention. One was a tooth that needed a filling. Had I not went to him I would have had that tooth pulled. Thank you Dr Tharp and your staff for such professionalism and politeness. My mom and I look forward to seeing you soon. May God continue to pour out HIS blessings on you and yours. 😎😇 Sherron Walker

I can not adequately express my gratitude for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Tharp. I had very extensive dental procedures done yesterday (including extraction & implant placement) and yet, less than 24 hrs. later, there is only minimal discomfort! This is because Dr. Tharp uses cutting edge dental techniques to maximize both patient comfort & positive results. His manner is friendly, and knowledgeable with a calm and reassuring demeanor. The extremely pleasant staff has been well trained and high standards of care are maintained. All of my questions were answered thoroughly and respectfully. Both Dr. Tharp & his assistant saw to my comfort in every phase of the treatment. I willl highly recommend Dr. Tharp to friends & family and know that they will receive outstanding care & tratment . Thank you for all you’ve done for us Dr. Tharp!😄
