About Medgaus Dental Care

Dr. Carl Medgaus has been practicing state-of-the-art dentistry for over thirty years! He still gets excited when presented with the opportunity to help someone achieve a beautiful smile. Dentistry has evolved from past decades. Dr. Medgaus has been a pioneer of change, treating his patients with the most advanced techniques and technologies. Additionally, his staff of professionals is equally enthusiastic about the modern possibilities of dentistry!

  • Invisalign® - the invisible way to straighten teeth.
  • Lumineers® - the painless and drilless way to make teeth absolutely gorgeous!
  • Empress® Veneers - The standard ceramic covering by which all other ceramic coverings for the teeth are measured.
  • Root-form Titanium Implants - to have permanent teeth where there are no teeth in your mouth now!
  • Advanced Micro-surgical techniques to either lift the gums where it is too thick, or to bring the gums over the exposed roots where it has receded. The technique exists to achieve the ideal tooth length.

Dr. Medgaus is a certified provider of all of the above.

When Dr. Medgaus talks with you about what you want to achieve with your smile, he brings with him those thirty years of experience and continuing education, to help design your smile! And design it he does, as you can see by all of the dramatically beautiful before and after photos of his happy patients.

The Medgaus Staff

Melanie Gearhart
Senior Dental Assistant
There is no bigger reward than seeing a patient that is frightened and in desperate need of dental work be transformed into someone with an outstanding smile & sense of peace in the dental chair. Dr. Medgaus always strives to be on the cutting edge of dentistry and he is willing to accept any dental challenge. His dedication and commitment to providing superior quality dentistry makes me feel honored and privileged to be part of this dental team for the past 28 years!

Denny Waronsky
Chief Lab Technician
I have worked for Dr. Medgaus as a part time lab technician for the past 28 years. My skills as a jewelry metal crafts teacher facilitated the transition from teaching to the high standards of Dr. Medgaus' dental lab. I am proud to be a member of a team that strives for perfection in every aspect, and which has the mission and passion to aim for and achieve excellence through aesthetic beauty.

Janet Bealko
Dental Assistant/ Orthodontics
I've worked for Dr. Medgaus for 27 years. Every day is a new experience with new patients and new problems. I love seeing the results of Dr. Medgaus' artistic work in giving patient's improved, more functional smiles. I love to be part of orthodontics because I make a patient feel better about his or her smile, which can be a life-changing experience. When you see the same people over a period of time, you form a lasting bond. Helping TMJ sufferers is also rewarding because you can take away daily pain with a simple appliance. Patients are always amazed!

Patti Sue Ball
Senior Dental Assistant
I've worked for Dr. Medgaus since July 1st, 1980, and I have always been so proud of his dentistry. He is an amazing clinician! 20 years ago he veneered my front teeth and, as you'll see when you meet me, I've been smiling ever since!

Annie Clark
Hygienist
I have been a hygienist for over 20 years, (6 with Dr. Medgaus!) I can honestly say he cares about the health of all aspects of the mouth, not just the teeth. Dr. Medgaus recognizes the importance of having a healthy foundation in the tissue so the dental work can last a lifetime. I'm still amazed at how generous he is to offer our Whitening for Life program to our patients for a one-time fee of $99!!!!

Becky Blackburn
Office Manager
I've worked for Dr. Medgaus for over 5 years. I love the experience and knowledge Dr. Medgaus brings to the field of dentistry. My favorite aspect of my job is getting to know our wonderful patients and seeing how happy they are after their treatment is delivered!

Julie Starkey
Office Coordinator/ Dental Assistant
My relationship with Medgaus Dental Care began while I was a patient. I was always so impressed with the level of skill of the entire staff, which makes me honored to have been part of the team for the past two years! Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am to work with Dr. Medgaus and how much I look forward to my job everyday! All our patients get excited about coming into the office. Only Dr. Medgaus could make people look forward to visiting the dentist!

Melanie Medgaus
Hygienest
2 years: As a hygienist in both offices, I get to meet all of our patients and interact with them on a regular basis. It feels so good to educate people about caring for their smiles, and knowing I help them live a healthier life!
