Meet Dr. Christopher Joy


In practice since 1981, Dr. Joy combines experience with a passion for excellence. He and his seasoned team strive to provide the best possible care in a comfortable and fun environment. Dr. Joy has extensive experience in full mouth reconstruction providing the best esthetic and functional outcomes. He continually strives to improve his knowledge and skills by pursuing post-graduate continuing education in all aspects of aesthetic and restorative dentistry, averaging 150 hours a year.

He incorporates the latest technology in all aspects of his treatment and works with a talented team of specialists to ensure the best long-term outcomes for his patients.

Dr. Joy and his dental assistant Cammie enjoy volunteering at CDA Cares which provides dental services at no charge to an average of 1,950 people at each event.  CDA Cares serves as a safety net for many people needing relief from the pain and infection of untreated dental disease. It is a very worthwhile and fulfilling cause.

In his spare time, Dr. Joy enjoys playing recreational and competitive tennis, squash, skiing, and hiking. Photography is a passion he shares with his patients by displaying his National Geographic quality photos on monitors in the office.
