Biologic Dentist in Mansfield, Texas: Inspiring Smiles

By Kim Blaise, Founder of OraBiologics and author of Before You Say Yes to Dentistry

Short answer: Inspiring Smiles, on Matlock Road in Mansfield, is a vetted biologic practice led by Dr. Toni Carr, DDS, a Meharry trained dentist who completed a hospital residency in New York and holds membership in the IAOMT, the Holistic Dental Association and the IABDM. For patients south of Dallas and Fort Worth it is the office to consider for SMART amalgam removal, biological extractions and ozone therapy delivered with a gentle, faith guided approach.

Who is behind Inspiring Smiles

Dr. Carr is a Houston native. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Prairie View A&M University, her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, and completed a General Practice Residency at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in New York, which is where most dentists learn to manage medically complex patients. She is SMART certified for mercury safe amalgam removal and a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine. Her practice is openly faith guided, and patients tend to mention the same two things: that she listens, and that nothing is pushed.

What makes this office different

Inspiring Smiles is a smaller, relationship driven office rather than a surgical center, and that is its strength. Dr. Carr does the work herself, from the comprehensive exam through the procedure. Materials are fluoride free and biocompatibility tested. Digital x-rays run on low radiation protocols. Airway screening is part of the exam, with TMJ therapy and sleep apnea treatment available for patients whose grinding, headaches or broken sleep trace back to the jaw. Sedation dentistry is offered for anxious patients. The office also offers EXION facial rejuvenation alongside cosmetic dentistry, an unusual pairing that reflects how much of her patient base comes for whole body wellness rather than a single tooth.

The procedures this office is known for

Three procedures define the biologic side of the practice. Mercury safe amalgam removal follows the full SMART protocol, with isolation, high volume evacuation and protective equipment for patient and team. Biological extractions remove the periodontal ligament and clean the socket with ozone before placing PRF, so the site heals as bone rather than a hollow. And ozone therapy is used throughout: in gum irrigation, in disinfection of surgical sites, and in support of periodontal treatment. Dr. Carr also offers PRF prolotherapy, which uses the patient's own platelet concentrate to support healing in the joint and soft tissue.

Her extraction technique is the one described in the OraBiologics explainer on why how a tooth is removed matters years later.

In Dr. Carr's words

From the Inspiring Smiles website:

"As a dentist, I have the privilege of working with an outstanding team to provide the ultimate dental care for our patients. I am passionate about dentistry and I believe that God has given me the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives."

Who this practice is a fit for

Patients in Mansfield, Arlington, Burleson, Midlothian and the southern Dallas and Fort Worth suburbs who want mercury out safely without driving into the city. Families who want one dentist for cleanings, airway screening and biologic care in the same chair. Patients who have been dismissed elsewhere for asking about materials. And anyone who wants a dentist whose faith is part of how she practices.

Inspiring Smiles is at 1900 Matlock Rd, Suite 600, Mansfield, TX 76063.
