meet your doctors

Drs. Devin and Alex are committed to excellence in serving their community. They are members of the Capital District Continuum for Advanced Dental Education and believe in life long learning to provide the best possible care for their patients. Their inspiration to practice dentistry began with a desire to serve others. Both doctors were awarded the American Dental Association’s Certificate for International Volunteer Service in 2018. They served as leaders of Stony Brook University’s School of Dental Medicine's Dental Mission to Madagascar for many years. These varied experiences in dental education and service have shaped them into caring and experienced practitioners who are excited to serve their local communities in Saratoga Springs and Gloversville.

Your First Appointment

What You Can Expect

From your first visit, we want you to feel like part of the family. Our team prioritizes your comfort, and you can have 100% confidence in the quality of our services. Our comprehensive exam is extensive and includes an in-depth interview of your history as well as detailed intraoral photographs. We do a treatment planning conference with each new patient to discuss findings including risk factors for disease, worn dentition, home care, function and esthetic concerns. From there our front desk can set up future appointments and answer any questions!

An Office For Everyone

When it came to the design of our office, we considered each step of your appointment. We offer a welcoming waiting room with a dedicated play space, spa-like comfort items for treatments, and most importantly: a caring team!

Technology For A Healthier Mouth

At Harrison Family Dentists, we’re excited about and invested in advancements in dental technology. We keep patient records on a secure, digital platform, so you can access your appointment and treatment history from the comfort of your home. We also utilize digital radiography so images of your teeth and gums go directly to your patient profile. Additionally, we use CBCT technology to capture detailed visuals of your mouth. CBCT stands for cone-beam computed tomography. An imaging device rotates around you, capturing data using a cone-shaped x-ray. In less than a minute, about 150-200 images are taken from a variety of angles. The data captured are then used to reconstruct a 3D image of your teeth so we have a precise, high definition picture of your mouth. Our office also has two cutting-edge intra-oral scanners, the iTero and Medit. Both of these scanners capture digital images of your smile, so you can say goodbye to goopy impressions!

let's see that smile!
