Meet Your Dentists

Dr. Lake Garner, DMD, and Dr. Taylor DeHaven, DMD

Dr. Lake Garner attended the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry in Jackson and has practiced dentistry since 1996. He chose the profession for the chance to work with his hands and spend his days with people, and he built Garner Dental Group from a single small practice. Away from the office he is active in the Hattiesburg community with his wife, Michelle, and their three children.

Dr. Taylor DeHaven earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical University of South Carolina after completing her undergraduate studies at the University of South Carolina. Originally from Northern Virginia, she now calls the Gulf Coast home. Her clinical philosophy centers on patient education, trust, and helping each person feel confident and at ease, shaped by international dental mission trips and Remote Area Medical clinics during her training.

"We want to make your child's first trip to the dentist one that is fun and comfortable."

Gautier Family Dental is at 2805 Highway 90, Gautier, MS 39553, serving Gautier, Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, Moss Point, and Vancleave.
