AFTER BEFORE

I can’t express my gratitude enough for the professionalism shown by Dr. Klaus and his staff. His work speaks for itself, and was the main reason I drove from Biloxi for my appointments. He pays attention to every detail, and it shows in my amazing results.

— Austin McMurphy, Pediatric Dentist

Surgeon and Restoring Dentist: Dr. Keith Klaus

AFTER

I have been a patient of Dr. Tharp’s since 1994. After several years, he finally convinced me to have my dental implant treatment. It is amazing how having a gorgeous new smile took years off of my appearance. Dr. Tharp does beautiful work and has a wonderful staff! I only wish I had done it sooner.

Dr. Cox received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry in 2002 and is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of University of Southern Mississippi. While in his third year of dental school, Dr. Cox was led to specific property on Lakeland Drive that had yet to be developed.

Dr. Cox is trained and skilled in all disciplines of dentistry, including dental implants, dental surgery, clear aligner orthodontics, root canals, and tissue grafts with 3D imaging. He attended the Global Institute for Dental Education and completed extensive training in implant therapy, bone grafting and sinus lifting procedures. His investment in CAM/CAD dentistry provides patients with same-day crowns, veneers, bridges, on-lays, and other prosthesis that offers better accuracy, reduces the need for referrals and is more convenient for patients’ schedules.

Dr. Cox has been married to his wife, Leah, for 24 years and has three sons—Jonas, Fletcher, and Asher. His family attends Pinelake Church where Dr. Cox leads a men’s Bible study. An avid cyclist and runner, Dr. Cox is a four-time Ironman finisher. He enjoys coaching his son’s baseball team and hunting in his spare time. Dr. Cox says that “dentistry is a calling, not only to help my patients with their dental needs, but I’m also there as an encourager of overall health and spiritual well-being.”
