The Accreditation process has become recognized as the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry. It
represents an intensely calibrated measurement of those specific clinicians that have applied themselves
to a vigorous level of examination and evaluation of their skills and knowledge relative to cosmetic
dentistry by a jury of their peers. The acknowledgement of this credential is beyond reproach and
identifies those leaders in the field of cosmetic dentistry.* If you are in need of smile enhancement
and believe that it is important to choose an experienced doctor with exceptional credentials, you are
invited to visit Dr. Scharf’s website, or call for a personal consultation.

“My family and I have been with Dr. Hillyard

making the switch was the best decision.
My fear of the Dentist and needles are no
more. My kids even love a trip to the dentist.
Dr. Hillyard & Dr. Monroe go above and
beyond with visual and verbal explanations
on the procedure during your visit. I recently
had implants. Dr. Monroe was nothing short
