Family-friendly dentists serving the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry for over 35 years.

From the moment you walk into Howard Family Dental Rincon to the moment you head out the door, you’ll be treated like family. The team not only provides dental care, they care about their patients and putting confident, happy smiles on their faces.

The two-doctor practice is led by the dynamic duo of Dr. Robert Robinson and Dr. Karen Goulden and is open Monday through Friday and select Saturdays each month.

Dr. Robert Robinson hails from St. Bernard, Louisiana and completed his undergraduate studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. He went on to complete his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. He is proud to be the first African American male dentist from his hometown county of St. Barnard Parish.

“I aspired to become a dentist at a young age after suffering from severe burns and receiving treatment from an oral surgeon,” said Dr. Robinson. “Though it was under traumatic circumstances,

I was inspired by this oral surgeon to serve others in a similar way by helping patients achieve a confident and healthy smile in an approachable and comfortable environment.”

Dr. Robinson cares for patients alongside Dr. Karen Goulden who brings over 25 years of experience and a wealth of knowledge to the practice. She attended the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene and then went on to get her Doctor of Dental Science (DDS) degree. An Invisalign® Preferred Provider, she is a member of the Academy for Clear Aligner Therapy, the Dawson Academy Alumni Association and the Academy of Laser Dentistry. 

“One of my favorite parts about practicing dentistry is establishing a relationship with the patient and following along in their life and dental health care journey,” said Dr. Goulden. 

“Whether they are in for their routine cleaning, or visiting us for more extensive treatment, it is always a treat for me to connect with them while working toward their oral health goals.”

The team at Howard Family Dental Rincon is committed to offering services to meet every dental care need. Their services cover the spectrum from a simple cleaning to cosmetic and restorative dental procedures such as crowns, bridges, root canals, fixed/removable dentures, veneers, Invisalign® and more.
