About Cardinal Family Dentistry

Meet Dr. barker

dr. sarah barker, dds

Dr. Barker grew up in Cary, just a few miles away from the Cardinal Family Dentistry office. Since she was young, Dr. Barker has been passionate about both science and art. After volunteering in the UNC Hospital Dental Clinic, Dr. Barker realized that a career in dentistry would allow her to combine her passion for science with her artistic abilities, and the rest is history! She went on to graduate from UNC Chapel Hill with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery with Distinction.

Dr. Barker’s hard work and commitment to compassionate care has earned her many awards for academic and clinical excellence, and her research on dental implants has recently been published in the journal of Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research.  When not in the office, Dr. Barker and her husband, Will, enjoy cheering on UNC to national championships, heated jeopardy competitions, and spending as much time as possible with their family, including their children, Emma and Wyatt, and two beloved felines, Cheddar and Bo (named for her favorite Bojangles biscuit).

You’re in good hands with Dr. Barker at Cardinal Family Dentistry. Dr. Barker is highly skilled and professional, and has a way of making patients feel like friends. If you’re looking for an honest, friendly dentist in Apex, Cary, New Hill, or Holly Springs, we can’t wait to meet you!

Dr. Barker is an accomplished Apex dentist, having received the following accreditations:

  • Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists
  • Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine

She received her undergraduate degree in Chemistry with minors in Biology and Psychology from The College of New Jersey and later earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree (D.D.S) from New York University College of Dentistry.
