Dr. Chelsea George became very interested in teeth at the ripe age of 6. It was then that she jumped off of a swing and landed face first, chipping her front tooth. Her family dentist was able to bond her tooth and it amazed her that he was able to make it look the same. In junior high she spent two and a half years in braces (and headgear) and during that time she was astonished by how much her teeth were able to move. While shadowing her family dentist in high school, he described dentistry as a great combination of science and art. Dr. Chelsea grew up drawing and painting and always enjoyed putting things back together. It was at this point that she realized that dentistry was her calling. While Dr. Chelsea loves rebuilding smiles, what she values most about her job is building trust with her patients. Dr. Chelsea believes theres a nothing more rewarding than alleviating ones fear of the dentist.

Dr. Chelsea grew up outside of Toledo in Maumee, Ohio. She and her husband, Jordan Brenner, have two daughters, Blake and Cameron, and are expecting another child in the fall. When shes not busy chasing around her little ones, she enjoys cheering on the Buckeyes.
