About The Office

We Create Radiant and Healthy Smiles

Welcome to Richard Hardt, D.D.S., your family's dental home. Led by Dr. Hardt and Dr. Cruz, our team is dedicated to nurturing the smile of every patient who visits the office.

While helping you maintain your oral health is job one, we also specialize in making restorations that are just as good or better than your natural teeth. That’s why we offer checkups, same-day emergency care, and professional cleanings, as well as restorative and cosmetic services like crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, and clear aligners. Moreover, if you suffer from sleep apnea or TMJ disorder, our specialists can diagnose the condition and recommend treatment.

With cutting-edge technology and a heartwarming touch, Dr. Hardt and his team cater to patients of all ages and have turned the practice into an extension of their homes. Visit our office for a dental experience like no other.
