Karen Crews, D.M.D.
With more than 35 years of experience, Dr. Karen Crews emphasizes that oral health is an essential component of overall health and wants people to know that teeth are just as vital as any other organ in the body.
“A healthy smile is important for self-esteem, speaking, and
is the first step of the digestion process,” she says. “Always remember, you only have to brush and floss the teeth you want to keep.”
She added that tobacco product use causes a lot of problems throughout the body, especially the mouth. “It is our role to educate patients about these effects and help them to stop using these products,” she said. “To see someone years later who still thanks me for helping them to quit is humbling.”
Loggan Malone Weihe, D.M.D.
Dr. Loggan Malone Weihe has a passion for transforming how people view dental care and believes in a preventative approach to dentistry, aiming to reduce the need for extensive treatments by focusing on early care and education.
The Gulf Coast native is known for creating a comfortable and reassuring environment and finds great fulfillment in helping patients feel at ease in the dental chair. Practicing along the Gulf Coast is especially meaningful to Dr.
Weihe, who values the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. Building lifelong relationships with patients and their families is both a joy and a privilege, and something she considers a cornerstone of their practice.
