How D. Casey Hart, DDS Continues His Father’s Legacy Of Heartfelt Care By Marie Muir
Casey Hart, DDS never thought he would become “that guy” – the one that remembers when Shallowford and Sandy Plains was a four-way stop where people sold firewood in the winter and fruit in the summer. But deep-rooted memories of East Cobb are a key part of Hart Family Dentistry’s story.
This year marks 45 years for the practice located at 3735 Canton Road in Marietta. Casey’s father, Tim Hart, DDS, first opened Hart Family Dentistry in 1978. Following Tim’s example, Casey operates Hart Family Dentistry with consistent and trustworthy patient centered care.
Simply put, The Harts provide the kind of dental care they want for their own family. Casey and his wife, Megan Hart, have three children – daughter Sloane, 9, son Carter, 6, and daughter, Collins, 3. They live in Jefferson Township – the same neighborhood Casey grew up in.
Hart Family Dentistry serves approximately 1600 to 1800 patients. Casey is accustomed to bumping into old classmates in and out of the dental chair since attending Garrison Mill Elementary School, Mabry Middle School, and Lassiter High School. He chose a career in dentistry because of the heartfelt relationships that develop with patient families over time.
Casey obtained a Bachelor of Arts at Duke University and earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was ready to return home after eight years in North Carolina and some time spent on the West Coast for rotations. In 2004, Casey joined his dad at Hart Family Dentistry.
Tim’s impact is still felt in East Cobb, even after his retirement from the practice in 2012. He occasionally covers for his son, like the time when Casey’s young est daughter was born. In fact, Tim got “bored” in retirement and opened Marble Hill Dentistry in Jasper, Georgia, where he currently resides with his wife Alice Hart.
Outside of work and school, Casey and his family can often be found playing at Mabry Park. They also enjoy frequenting their favorite local breakfast spots – Biscuits And More, Ray’s Donuts, and last but certainly not least, Waffle House.
Hart Family Dentistry cherishes old patients and welcomes new patients. The practice is open Monday-Wednesday from 8am to 5:30pm, Thursday from 7am to 4:30pm, and is closed Friday-Sunday. Dental services range from general and complete, to surgical and cosmetic.
Hart Family Dentistry wants “going to the dentist” to be an easy and relaxing experience. For people who suffer from mild to severe anxiety while undergoing dental treatments, Casey is able to offer sedation dentistry – approved medication that helps patients safely relax. Different levels of sedation are available to assist patients based on their anxiety level and dental procedure. Hart Family Dentistry takes pride in helping people achieve their healthiest, brightest smiles with the highest quality of dental care.
According to Casey, his dad Tim said it best, “If you take care of the patients, then everything else will work out.”
