Carol Ellens, DDS

Hi y’all. I’m Dr. Carol Ellens, a wife, mom, Air Force veteran (active duty), general dentist, and Arizona Native. My spark for dentistry began as I was completing medical check ups needed to finalize my separation from the military. I was ready for a new adventure, but undecided as to what I wanted to do when I “grew up” (military joke). As I was completing my final dental appointment, I asked my dentist (a cool, fun loving dude) if I could stick around to see what he did all day since it was clear that he loved his job. I ended up loving the experience. With the encouragement of my husband and kids, I completed the remainder of my undergrad degree in South Carolina and dental school at the University of Minnesota.

I believe in a personalized approach to dentistry, taking the time to listen to my patients and tailor treatments based on their individual needs. Whether you’re in for a routine check-up, a cosmetic procedure, or a complex dental issue, my goal is to ensure you leave with a healthier smile and have an ‘as enjoyable as it can be for dentistry’ experience. I’ve been on both sides of the chair, so I understand.

Outside of the office, I enjoy 10-pin bowling, books, traveling, and spending time rooting/cheering for my kids’ sports teams.

Thank you for choosing Isanti Family Dental for your care, and I look forward to seeing you and your teeth.
