NEWEST PARTNER
DR. KAREN
JOHNSON
I
f you’re an existing patient of South Hills Dental Arts, you
probably already know Dr. Karen Johnson. While she’s been on
site since 2013, she only became a fully-vested partner recently,
officially adding herself to the team of the most advanced dental
professionals in Pittsburgh.
Dr. Johnson graduated dental school from the University of
Michigan in 2011, and while residencies are not required of doctors
of dental medicine, it was important to Dr. Johnson to seek one out
to further expand her knowledge in the field and gain the experience
only a residency can provide.
“That brought me to Pittsburgh to the Veterans Affairs Hospital,
where I was in residency for a year,” she said. “I was able to learn
about all the different specialist procedures—cosmetic dentistry, root
canals, implant surgeries, TMJ to name a few—and was introduced to
advanced comprehensive care dentistry while there.”
That experience translated directly to South Hills Dental Arts,
where Dr. Steven Crandall, lifelong Upper St. Clair resident, founded
a dental practice dedicated to being on the cutting edge of the field
while providing unparalleled personal care to its patients.
“I met Dr. Crandall about a year before I joined the practice,” Dr.
Johnson said. “I knew his style of practice was very different and
more comprehensive than what people usually expect or receive. It’s
focused more on the patients and dentistry that holds up over time.
South Hills Dental Arts also performs all dental procedures on site,
so patients don’t have to leave the building regardless of whether
they’re having a crown made while they wait or having dental
implant surgery.”

Dr. Johnson said that patients see right away how different South
Hills Dental Arts is compared to other dental offices. The most often
received compliment the practice receives is about how personalized
the care is for the patients, she said.
Because everyone at the practice wants to maintain a high bar
when it comes to personalized care and technological offerings, the
practice has close ties with the Pankey Institute and Spear Education
- two of the most respected advanced dental education providers in
the nation.
With second-to-none technology, South Hills Dental Arts can do
3-D scans of patients, print 3-D models to map out dental work, have
crowns made in one day without having patients wear a temporary,
and analyze bite forces for tmj helping patients feel better from
headaches, broken teeth and jaw pain that the condition is known for.
They’re on the forefront of veneers and cosmetic dentistry with the
skill to reverse the ravages of time and restore a beautiful smile.
“We try to be right on the cutting edge, 100 percent,” Dr. Johnson
said. “The technology we have is amazing and we have everything
that you could ever need for any dental situation.”
The practice also gives back to the community through events such
as their Freedom Day, a day set aside each fall where they open their
doors to offer free dentistry for veterans and their families.
