Do you remember your childhood dental office? Hopefully, it was a place where you were known by name. Maybe it was a practice where generations of your family had gone with a provider you could trust and a staff that laughed and joked and always seemed thrilled to see you. In this age of big-box dental practices, Dr. Karen Williamson thinks it should still be that way. When you make an appointment at her Rockwall practice, you can be sure of a few things.
You know you’ll see her smiling face in the office. Your appointment time will be respected. Dr. Williamson will take the time to talk to you and discuss what’s most important to you about your smile and dental as well as overall health. A member of her team will clearly present your treatment costs prior to scheduling your procedure and simplify the payment process for you. They’ll see you for same-day emergencies whenever possible, maintain their office with high standards of cleanliness and safety, and remain at the cutting-edge of dental breakthroughs and technology.
Dr. Williamson can’t imagine running her practice any other way. It’s no wonder generations of Rockwall families — and many from outside our area — are happy to call her practice their dental home.
Pioneering the Latest and Greatest
When Dr. Williamson opened her practice, it was with a commitment to continually reeducate herself, as dental technology advances. Since that time, she’s exceeded 200 hours of continuing education each year, searching out on the latest dental breakthroughs and discoveries. Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics (CEREC) is one such technology. CEREC uses CAD/CAM technology, incorporating a camera, computer, and milling machine. That means no more gooey, bad-tasting impressions or bulky impression trays.
In short, the CEREC same-day crown restoration system at Karen Williamson, DDS means:
- Most procedures can be done in one visit
- The restoration is less time-consuming
- No more bulky, messy, bad-tasting impressions
- No need for unreliable temporary crowns between visits
- Metal-free restorations
- Natural, beautiful, functional teeth
Paying it Forward
Dr. Williamson and her team love doing good through Smiles for Life, a nationwide charity that enables dentists to help children while also giving locally to the charity of their choice.
“We offer our patients professional whitening with donated proceeds going directly to charity,” Dr. Williamson said. “Half of the money collected goes to Smiles for Life to help seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children, and half goes locally to our chosen charity, PATRIOT PAWS, who train and provide service dogs to disabled veterans with mobile disabilities and PTSD. It’s such a win/win. Our patients get gorgeous white teeth and, at the same time, donate to two very worthy charities. Thanks to everyone who participated this year and in the past.”

“Awesome, as usual. Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating. Dr. Williamson is so knowledgeable about so much and I learn something that will better my and my family’s health at practically every visit. Also, today, Dr. Williamson worked us in for two fillings for my son who is heading back to college. We would still use this place even if the only good thing about it was Dr. Williamson’s exceptional talent, but all the extra things that make this office great make it worth every penny.”

“The best Monday morning visit! When you have a super-early dental visit on a Monday morning, and you walk into so many smiles and warm welcomes, you just know the week will be bright! But take my word for it, this happens at Dr. Karen Williamson’s office regardless of the day or time. Attention to even the smallest details and excellent care and customer service across the board. I tried several dental practices in Rockwall before finding this hem. Highly recommend this practice for any person, any age. This team is special – give them a try and I’m certain you will agree. Thanks so much, beautiful people, for all you do!”
