About Us
Changing Dentistry
MINT dentistry was founded with one goal in mind: to improve everything about going to the dentist. And we have. From our luxurious, spa-like dental offices — including massaging dental chairs, Beats headphones, and Netflix — to our modern dental techniques and training with the use of only the latest technology and materials. It’s no surprise that MINT dentistry is one of the fastest-growing, dental practices in the United States today.
Our Story
MINT dentistry - We look different because we are different.
Since opening our first office in 2009, MINT has been at the forefront of transforming bland, outdated dental appointments into an insanely enjoyable experience for both patients and dentists. We were the first to provide luxurious dental appointments (that are actually affordable), the first to introduce the team of doctors approach (so a second opinion is right down the hall), the first to offer FREE custom teeth whitening (with PPO dental insurance), and the first to bring the price of veneers down to earth. It's our goal to get people to LOVE going to the dentist – and because of the MINT DIFFERENCE, they actually do.
Our Founder
The Man Behind It All.
Dr. Field Harrison is passionate about taking people out of pain. Whether it is dental pain, spiritual pain, mental pain, financial pain, or even loss of dignity pain, Dr. Harrison has built a life around relieving the suffering of others. Even before he graduated from dental school, Dr. Harrison was traveling to Romania with other doctors and dentists to end a village's suffering from tooth and jaw pain. He spent many dental school weekends assisting other dentists in providing free dental care to underserved communities in Dallas. In 2009, he founded MINT dentistry with the conviction that outstanding dental care should be affordable to everyone.
Today, Dr. Harrison has established MINT dentistry as one of the fastest-growing dental companies in America. The company currently has locations in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Maryland, DC, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Florida, with a goal to be in every major city throughout the U.S. soon! Dr. Harrison is the founder and owner of several companies, including: MINT orthodontics, Pure Dental Assistant Academy, PURE Oral Surgery, MINT Dental Assistant Academy, MINT insurance services, and True Music. He recently wrote and released his first book, Golf Proverbs –– a book of spiritual metaphors that combines his passion for the game of golf with his love for business, family, faith, and Jesus in short one-liner life lessons full of wisdom, wit, and inspiration.
While an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and dentist by trade—above all, Dr. Harrison is a devout Christian, a devoted husband to his beautiful wife, Sabrina, and a proud dad to two incredible children named Christian and Camila. He is passionate about God and giving back to his community. Since founding MINT dentistry, Dr. Harrison has used his business as a platform to support many local churches and numerous other philanthropic endeavors financially. The Harrisons also privately assist MINT employees experiencing financial hardship through their internal charitable program, MINT Cares.
"MINT dentistry’s success is nothing short of a miracle and I refuse to take any credit for it. The amazing people God brings to us are the biggest miracle. We collaborate with the best dentists in the country to develop better techniques and pick materials that significantly reduce complications for our patients. When you’re the best in the world at something, it’s never kept a secret."
