In these days of progress and growth, it's becoming rare to find a family-owned practice that truly considers itself a family. Hardy Webster Dental is one of those gems. This close-knit practice began in 1985, when Dr. Hardy first took the reins of what was Kate Burrow's practice in the historic heart of Humble. Their practice stands as a testament to tradition meeting innovation. In 2010, Dr. Kirk Webster joined the team, and has since taken over as the new owner, furthering their legacy of compassionate care. Aside from being colleagues, Dr. Kirk and Dr. Hardy are also friends outside of the office and enjoy a yearly trip together to further their comradery.
Dr. William Kirk Webster, or Dr. Kirk as his patients know him, graduated from dental school in 2010, and joined the practice fresh from graduating after meeting Dr. Hardy by chance at a gym during a powerlifting competition. Dr. Hardy had taken the practice over from one of Humble’s first dentists. “Dr. Hardy is this legendary figure around here,” enthuses Dr. Kirk about his partner and mentor. He credits Dr. Hardy’s genius and painstaking care for guiding him through all the aspects of dental care, from the mundane to the truly intricate. Dr. Hardy will be celebrating 40 years of dentistry in 2024, and the practice plans to have a big party for him to celebrate this amazing milestone.
Hardy Webster Dental has a stellar reputation in their community, which truly sets them apart from other dental practices. Dr. Hardy has created and maintained a business that puts the patient first above profits and everything else. Hardy Webster Dental has a saying, ‘The patient knows before they owe." They feel patients should know upfront what everything is going to cost, no sticker shock or extra fees added in.
Dr. Kirk grew up in New Caney and met his wife while in high school. “She’s been my rock, steering me towards dentistry- blending my love for science, business, and hands-on work.” He had always wanted to own his business rather than work for someone else and considers himself a science nerd at heart. He recalls spotting a rare mouth cancer early on and how his patient was able to get it removed... and still thanks him for catching it at every visit.
Having experienced for himself the life-changing benefits of dentistry after enduring a major maxillofacial surgery in college, Dr. Kirk became a true believer in his future craft. “It changed my life, literally. From a ‘guarded smile’ to being confident - it’s a transformation I wish for my patients. There’s real power in a confident smile, and I get to help people find that.”
Dr. Kirk enjoys time outdoors: hunting, fishing, and backpacking. Although he still has a passion for fitness, he has gotten into more functional fitness, such as yoga, saunas, etc. He says it gives him the necessary energy to keep up with both his job and his four daughters, who are all into dance. On the other hand, Dr. Hardy is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting and fishing. He has a ranch in Montgomery, TX and another in Colorado where he likes to indulge in those hobbies.
Hardy Webster Dental is big on educating patients. Dedication like that is what makes this practice a true institution in the community it has been passionately serving for many years.
