About Carlla Franklin, DDS
Being a dentist means I am able to help people of all ages and backgrounds understand the importance of maintaining healthy dentition. We all need optimal oral health in order to talk, chew, and look presentable in public, at school, and in our professional lives! I am passionate about caring for patients as I would a family member: with love, respect, kindness, and empathy. I know each patient has specific desires and concerns, so I really listen and encourage them to tell me what they want out of care. By listening without judgment, establishing open and trusting communication, and genuinely caring for a patient, we build a relationship. It’s essential that people know I don’t just fix teeth; I care about the whole person and want to help them succeed. It is an honor to meet and spend time with people from different backgrounds, at different points in their lives. Each person has stories and experiences to share, and I enjoy learning who my patients are. Becoming a dentist means committing to constant learning. Oral healthcare is a fast-evolving field. The advances in techniques, materials, and technology lead to more accurate diagnoses, more comfortable treatment, and stronger results. I am committed to providing my patients with leading-edge dentistry, so each year I complete many continuing-education courses. This ensures I am up to date with the latest advances and current on changes. My patients can be sure they’re receiving the best care.
