At the heart of my practice is building lasting relationships with my patients. My approach to dentistry is personal, focused on comfort, care, and clear communication every step of the way. I strive to ensure each patient feels heard, valued, and relaxed, knowing they are receiving customized, thoughtful treatment.
I specialize in general dentistry, dental surgery, sedation dentistry, extractions (including third molars), and implant dentistry. Over my career, I’ve placed and restored over 1,000 dental implants.
I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia with degrees in Biology and Psychology, before earning my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. During my dental training, I served as a teaching assistant in the Department of General Dentistry, honing my skills in clinical excellence and patient care.
After dental school, I advanced my expertise in surgical dentistry by completing a residency at Georgia Regents University in Augusta, one of the top surgical-based general practice programs in the country. There, I gained proficiency in dental surgery, advanced sedation techniques, and complex patient management. I continue to serve as a part-time clinical instructor in the Department of Oral Rehabilitation.
I am skilled in IV conscious sedation, oral surgery, and implant placement, with extensive experience treating complex cases and ensuring patient comfort through sedation dentistry.
I hold a Mastership with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and am pursuing a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry.

I grew up in Atlanta and now live in Brookhaven with my husband, Justin, and our goldendoodle, Buxton. Outside of dentistry, we enjoy outdoor activities, spending time with family and friends, playing pickleball and golf, and cheering on our Georgia Bulldogs and Minnesota Vikings!
