There is no place like home, as Dr. Kaitlyn Anderson Spencer, a native of Ayden, well knows. When Dr. Spencer and her husband, Trevor, both graduates of D.H. Conley High School, married in 2015, they knew that they would return to the place they loved to pursue their passion for serving others. For Trevor, that passion includes coaching baseball and football at his alma mater and teaching English.
Dr. Spencer, also an athlete, played volleyball all four years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was voted team captain her senior year. After graduating with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science and a minor in chemistry, Dr. Spencer received her Doctor of Dental Medicine from East Carolina University, where she was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society. Following graduation in 2018, she received a coveted acceptance to the Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency at the Fayetteville VA Medical Center where she received further training in implant dentistry. She has also been working part-time at Harvey & Associates Family Dentistry in Kinston.
In her spare time, Dr. Spencer enjoys spending time with their son Cutler, watching her husband coach, cheering on the Tar Heels, and occasionally assisting her mom, Sandy, at Longstraw Farms in Ayden, NC. Dr. Spencer is excited to be able to serve her community with the most advanced dental technologies, and as we welcome her back home, she wants to invite the community to her new dental home, Beacon Dental.
Stephanie has been practicing as a dental hygienist since 2006. She was born and raised in Goldsboro. She has dreamed of working in the dental field since she was a little girl.

I love Beacon Dental. I can't recommend Dr. Spencer and her team enough. Her staff is kind and they treat you like they know you (which I always appreciate). The assistants are friendly, supportive, careful about explaining procedures - pros and cons - and Dr. Spencer calls to check on me. When was the last time any doctor called you on the phone to see how you were feeling after a visit? She's the best, and all of her wonderful assistants are a credit to the industry. I've been to about 6 different dentists over the course of my life, and I hated going to all of them. This is the first time I ever felt 100% sure I wouldn't get tortured or even made uncomfortable. I don't leave reviews often. Only when it matters!

Dr. Spencer is a true professional and it reverberates thru her entire staff. Excellent artistry with seemingly hopeless tooth repair. This particular Beacon Dental is a gem. Clean environment and never felt more comfortable at a dentist. Works with integrity and will not remove your wisdom teeth just to make a buck.
