Detailed Introduction
Hearn Dental Care, operating under the name Hearn Dentistry, is a well-established dental clinic located at 1811 Dogwood Dr, Kokomo, IN 46902. The practice has a rich history, having been founded in 1962 by Dr. Hearn's grandfather and later continued by his mother, making Dr. Thomas C. Hearn, DDS, a third-generation dentist. This legacy emphasizes a blend of traditional, trusted service with modern dental care.
The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of dental services for the entire family, focusing on gentle, compassionate, and judgment-free care. Their offerings include general and family dentistry (new patient exams and cleanings, dental fillings, gum disease treatment, children's dentistry, oral cancer screenings), cosmetic and restorative dentistry (porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, dental crowns, dental bridges, full & partial dentures, All-on-4 dental implants, full mouth reconstruction), and specialized treatments like TMJ treatment, sleep apnea treatment, night guards, mouth guards, and Invisalign clear aligners. They also provide emergency dental services, accommodating short-notice appointments and addressing urgent dental needs like cavities, toothaches, and lost fillings/crowns.
Hearn Dental Care prides itself on investing in industry-leading technology to ensure patient comfort and high-quality diagnostics. This includes digital X-rays (offering up to 90% less radiation), intraoral cameras, and digital impressions (eliminating messy molds). They also utilize advanced equipment like 3D digital imaging, laser detection for decay, and soft- and hard-tissue lasers. The clinic is committed to patient comfort, offering amenities like cozy blankets, comfortable chairs, and TV in private rooms.
Their philosophy centers on providing the "best dental experience," characterized by pain-free procedures, pricing transparency, patient empowerment in treatment decisions, and a commitment to continuous improvement and a "squeaky clean office." Dr. Hearn is noted for his dedication to continuing education, completing at least twice the required amount, and personally placing all restorations, using top-tier materials and partnering with a local lab. They accept all insurance plans, offer flexible financing options, and have a VIP Club for patients without insurance. While some reviews mention Dr. Hearn being direct or "all business," many appreciate his professionalism, efficiency, and the positive outcomes of procedures like wisdom tooth extractions, as well as the friendly staff and welcoming environment.
