Blue Heron Dental Implants and Oral Surgery Meet Dr. Overbeck Hello, dr-overbeckLet me introduce myself. My name is Cara Overbeck, and I’ve been a practicing, Board Certified, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon since 1988. My practice is in Venice, Florida and focuses primarily on dental implants and third molars, or wisdom teeth. Below, you will find my educational and professional background, training and affiliations, but I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you my feelings about my practice. Our goal at all times is to provide the highest quality, state of the art care and personal service to our patients. We make every effort possible to ensure that your experience with us is easy and comfortable, from our office environment, to our technology and training, to the selection of our staff. Nothing is more important to me than the good treatment of our patients. We know that going to an oral surgery office is a new experience, and possibly a bit scary to some. We try very hard to dispel that apprehension. I can not imagine doing anything other than practicing dentistry. I feel that, in many respects, dentistry is about more than teeth and involves other areas of peoples lives. When you think about it, it involves helping, coaching, teaching and motivating. We get to know many of our patients quite well and they sometimes tell us about the impact that we have had on their lives. For instance, one gentleman told us that the dental implants we placed helped give him the confidence to propose to his girlfriend. They have been married for eight years now and have two children. We feel we have a great rapport with our patients and we find that hugely rewarding.
