NYU-trained, hospital-residency-refined, and fluent in three languages — warm, modern dentistry for Heath, Rockwall & Forney families.
Dr. Karina Bartz was born in Brazil and grew up in New Jersey before making her way to Texas — first Dallas, and now Heath, where she and her husband, Kyle, have put down roots. She earned a Business Management degree with a minor in Biology from William Paterson University, then went on to graduate from the New York University College of Dentistry, one of the country's foremost dental schools.
After dental school she completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn — a hospital-based program where she sharpened her clinical skills and, just as importantly, learned to build patient relationships rooted in trust and compassion. Fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish, she brings genuinely personal, welcoming care to families across Heath, Rockwall and Forney.
That warmth is the whole idea behind KB Dental — a practice she built to feel calm, modern and personal, where state-of-the-art technology meets the highest quality dentistry and no one feels like just another appointment.
Every detail below is drawn from Dr. Bartz's verified education, training and professional background.
An active member of the Heath community, Dr. Bartz lives locally with her husband, Kyle, and their dogs — and loves being the neighborhood's dentist.
Away from the office she paints and is drawn to art and culture, with a love of decorating and making spaces feel beautiful and welcoming.
She recharges with yoga, reading and travel, and is forever on the hunt for a new restaurant to try around the Dallas area.
