Dr. Scott Scharnhorst

Hi, I’m Dr. Scott Scharnhorst. I’ve loved helping people feel confident about their smiles ever since I graduated Cum Laude from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 2012. For more than a decade, I’ve been dedicated to providing gentle, patient-focused care to families here in Northwest Georgia.

Caring for the Community I Call Home

I grew up in Idaho but found my way to Rome, GA through my wife, Carol, who is originally from Chattanooga. We’ve put down roots here, raising our five amazing kids and becoming a part of this wonderful community. Caring for neighbors and friends feels like more than a career. It’s a privilege.

My Approach to Dentistry

I understand that going to the dentist isn’t always easy, so I do everything I can to create a calm and comfortable experience for every patient. I enjoy a wide range of dental care, including cosmetic bonding, crowns and bridges, root canals, and extractions. Continuing education is a big part of my life, and I’m proud to offer many treatments right here in our office, so patients don’t have to travel elsewhere for care.

Beyond the Office

When I’m not working with patients, you’ll probably find me in my workshop. Woodworking is a favorite hobby of mine and gives me a chance to slow down and focus on detail, something I also bring to my dentistry. Most of all, I love spending time with Carol and our kids, whether we’re outside exploring or just relaxing at home.

Here to Help You Smile with Confidence

Whether you’re coming in for a routine checkup, a smile makeover, or to fix a dental concern, I want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident every step of the way.
