Dr. Hammack credits his uncle, a dentist in Oklahoma, with inspiring him to consider dentistry, but volunteering on a medical/dental mission trip to Central America solidified his resolve to pursue it as a career. He explains, “I love the profession of dentistry, which allows me to establish meaningful, lifelong relationships with my patients, and I take great pride in helping them achieve a better quality of life through improved oral health and esthetics. It has always been my passion to provide outstanding dental care in a modern, patient-centered practice. I look forward to fostering lasting relationships with my patients for decades to come.”
