Dr. Tara Hardin

Dr. Tara Hardin developed a passion for dentistry by watching her dad at a young age, and has since taken over the practice. Dr. Tara graduated from Furman University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1996 and then received her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2000 from The Ohio State University. She continued her pursuit of advanced training at The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies earning a fellowship with LVI. Hundreds of hours of continuing education each year keep Dr. Tara Hardin and her team among an elite class of dentists who provide exceptional esthetic and restorative dentistry.

This hard work and commitment to staying knowledgeable in the industry also earned her the honor of Accredited Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, an honor not many receive. In fact, she is the only female Fellow in the state of Ohio.

Gina Roberts

Gina grew up just across the river in Indiana. Her passion for dentistry brought her to Ohio over 20 years ago. With more than 15 years of experience as a chairside assistant, Gina went back to school to get her EFDA license. This has allowed her to stay chairside and be more involved in caring for her patients one on one. Gina has been with our practice for 16 years and would tell you that she knew nothing about dentistry until working with Hardin Advanced Dentistry. She works side by side with Dr. Tara Hardin caring for and designing healthy, confident smiles. Gina spends her free time and weekends back home in Indiana with her fiancé Bruce and her two boys, Noah and Owen.
