Giving Back
Serving Our Community with Purpose
At Modern Dental, caring for people goes far beyond dentistry. Serving others is at the heart of who we are. Whether we’re helping patients feel confident in their smiles or supporting families through difficult seasons of life, our mission is simple: use our gifts to make a meaningful impact in the world around us.
For Dr. Steven Beard, giving back is deeply personal. His faith and life experiences have shaped a commitment to compassion, empathy, and uplifting those who need hope the most.
Our Partnership with Carrywell
Modern Dental is honored to partner with Carrywell, a Christian, faith-based nonprofit organization that supports couples struggling with infertility. Carrywell provides emotional encouragement, counseling, community, and financial support for families walking through fertility treatments.
Whether a couple is navigating medicated cycles, IUI, IVF, or the unknowns of unexplained infertility, Carrywell stands beside them with prayer, resources, and support—reminding them they’re not alone.
Why Carrywell Matters to Us
For Dr. Beard and his wife, the journey to parenthood was filled with obstacles, unanswered questions, and emotional ups and downs. After years of unexplained infertility and multiple treatments, they welcomed their daughter, Nora, through IVF.
Their experience ignited a passion to help others experiencing the same struggle—to be a source of hope, light, and support.
By partnering with Carrywell, Modern Dental contributes to a mission that aligns with our heart for families, faith, and compassion.
Faith in Action
Our values at Modern Dental are rooted in kindness, integrity, and service. These are not just words—they guide everything we do.
Dr. Beard serves as a worship leader at Church of the Highlands (Greystone campus) and believes that serving others is a natural extension of his faith. Whether through dental care, community involvement, or nonprofit partnerships, we aim to reflect Christ-like compassion in meaningful, practical ways.
