As a Registered Dental Hygienist of 13 years, I work hard to educate patients on oral hygiene and home care prevention while also performing gentle dental cleanings. I truly delight in meeting new patients and being given the opportunity to become life long friends. The most rewarding part of my day is seeing patients smile. In my time off I look forward to spending every moment with my family and friends. We enjoy sports, camping, hiking, and traveling.
I am a dental assistant here at Premier Dental Health. I enjoy talking to our patients and making them feel comfortable about coming to the dentist while providing the best care to them. I love the friendships that are built with our patients and my goal is helping them achieve a beautiful smile while building confidence in themselves. Spending time with my family is my passion! I love my church, traveling, Braves baseball, and the outdoors.

Dr Wright is a miracle worker! He patiently worked with me to get a digital impression so I could finally get a partial after years with several missing teeth! I can finally smile and not feel self conscious - not to mention EAT a meal in less than an hour!!!

I saw Dr Wright to change a filling on a cracked tooth. He did a great job with this and prevented me from having to get a crown. The staff are also wonderful to work with.

My regular dentist was booked up, and I needed to use my benefits in a hurry, so they referred me to their friends at Premier Dental. The ladies at the front desk did a fine job reaching out to my dentist, and helped me get set up as a new patient. Insurance and billing was straightforward, registration was a breeze, and the wait wasn't long at all. Dr. Wright and his assistant Dana were very careful with drilling and filling my teeth, and I had no issues reinstalling my Invisalign retainers. Thank you to the whole team for the excellent work!

We are happy patients of Dr. Wright and have been for a few years. I have recently finished treatment for straightening my teeth using the Clear Correct System and I am totally delighted. Dr. Wright and his staff were so supportive and encouraging through this process, I can't say enough good about them. Biyearly exams are thorough and painless as well!
