Having grown up in Hillsborough, Dr. Latta couldnt think of anywhere better to start a dental practice! She completed her undergraduate studies in Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University and then made the long trek 8 miles down the road to attend dental school at UNC. After obtaining her DDS degree, Dr. Latta moved to Portland, Oregon to complete a 1-year general practice residency at the Veterans Affairs hospital expanding her skills while treating former military members. While the Pacific Northwest is gorgeous, North Carolina was calling her home and she has been practicing in the Triangle ever since!
When not at the office, Dr. Latta can be found exploring everything the Triangle (and the world) has to offer. She adores her two mischievous cats, Maverick and Ragnar, who were definitely dogs in their past life. Dr. Latta also has a knack for puzzles, baking, and hand-lettering.
Dr. Latta has many fond memories of her hometown from Hog Day to adventures at Camp Chestnut Ridge, eating at the Colonial Inn to ice skating (somewhat poorly) at the Sportsplex. She has enjoyed seeing the influx of new local businesses and restaurants to Hillsborough and is excited to become an integral part of the local community! These days youll likely find her walking along the Riverwalk, downing some food at Hillsborough BBQ, or catching a beautiful sunset at Maple View (okay, shes there for the ice cream too).
While our office is stunning (we are slightly biased but see below for proof), what we pride ourselves on the most is our emphasis on bettering the local community. We recognize that our local businesses and residents are the heartbeat of our community and none of us can thrive if we fail to support each other! Were always looking for ways to collaborate so if you are a local business, reach out to us wed love to meet you!
Dentistry has come a long way in the past few decades! Were easily able to take low-dose checkup x-rays and 3D images. With our intraoral cameras, were able to show you exactly what we see with our crazy-looking glasses so you can see what we see, for better or for worse. No interest in what your teeth look like? No problem, weve got ceiling TVs to keep you distracted! We could go on and on, but come see for yourself what sets us apart from the rest.
