Raised in southern Idaho, comes from a proud family of dentists, with his grandfather being the second dentist in Mesa, Arizona. He earned his dental degree from A.T. Still University and completed his Pediatric Dental Residency at UNLV. A huge Star Wars fan, Dr. Williams also loves e-bikes and spending time exploring the outdoors. He is dedicated to providing compassionate and holistic dental care for children. Outside the office, he is a big DIY dad, and loves to explore the outdoors.
At Peak, we believe pediatric dental care should be gentle, honest, and empowering. We’re here to build lifelong trust with families by providing conservative, comfort-focused treatment in a warm, welcoming environment. We aim to educate, not pressure, and to guide children toward healthy habits using proven techniques and thoughtful prevention.
We blend old-school values—like empathy, integrity, and genuine connection—with modern tools and a minimally invasive approach. Our goal isn’t just to fix teeth, but to create positive experiences that help every child grow up confident in the dental chair and proud of their smile.

“We love Dr. Hardy. He’s fun and friendly and always puts my kids at ease! The office is nice, clean, and very family-friendly. I can take all 4 kids at the same time without any sort of wait or delay. A perfect place for us!“
Dr. Hardy is AMAZING! His staff & hygienists are so kind, gentle & knowledgeable at what they do. My kids LOVE the beach theme & movies they get to watch. This is the first dental office they have been to that my youngest hasn’t had a complete meltdown at. I’ll never go anywhere else!!!
We were in the market for a dentist closer to our home. My daughter was having some tooth pain and I was contacting some dentists to get her taken care of. Most dentists wanted to do a cleaning first, then a separate appointment later on to fill the cavity. The staff at Hardy Smiles got her in the same day and was able to work in my other children for cleanings. They were so helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful. Wow! I couldn’t be more impressed. Upon arrival, they had fun activities for the kids to do and open space for them to play. My daughter had to get a filling and I think the thoughtful room arrangements helped put her at ease. He also prioritized our care, told us which fillings were more urgent and which ones could be postponed. The office staff, hygienists, and dentist were all great with our kids. When my daughter got nervous, the dentist took the time to talk with her, to calm her, then proceeded to work with no further worries. The secretary was great about working with our insurance and helping us out. We LOVE, Love our new dentist.
