Following graduation, Dr. Chartier qualified to practice in twenty-nine states, selecting Georgia as the place she wanted to live and raise a family. For her first two years, she participated in an advanced practice residency with Dr. James Kincaid at his office in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, Georgia, before joining long-time Decatur resident and Emory Dental School instructor Dr. George Slappey at his practice, which she now operates as Michele R. Chartier, DDS, PC.
Dr. Chartier and her team participate in regular professional education, including attending the prestigious Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida for advanced restorative education. Dr. Chartier completed all six of the continuums at the Pankey Institute in 2007.
Our practice has been serving individuals and families in the Decatur area for over 30 years. It was founded by Emory graduate and former adjunct professor Dr. George Slappey, who was joined in the practice by Dr. Michele Chartier in 1999, creating the Chartier & Slappey Dental Group. Despite all the fun they had together and all the great dentistry they did, George finally retired to his lake house at some point creating the opportunity for Dr. Greg Hayes to join Michele in practice at Michele R. Chartier, DDS. Dr. Hayes has now retired as well and Dr. Chartier and her team continue to provide exceptional dentistry to their family of patients.

Really outstanding! I've never been to a more welcoming dentist office. Both the staff and Dr. Chartier were very friendly, and I received a very thorough initial exam as a patient. Highly recommend!

Dr. Chartier and her staff are terrific. Beautiful office, no long waits, and congenial attitudes. I've been a patient for many years and drive about 30 miles to get to her office. I must pass 50 dentists on the way, but I'm convinced it is worth the traffic.

My family switched over to Dr. Chartier a little over a year ago and it is the best!! Everyone is so nice and makes you feel like you've been friends with them for years. They are all so efficient in everything they do and when I had to get a crown put on my front tooth, they were so quick to help because they knew a visibly chipped front tooth is not the look I wanted so they got me in asap. Definitely recommend going to them!!

Dr. Chartier and her team are the best! They are professional, knowledgeable, super kind and welcoming. Even my kids have always gone happily to their appointments because of how nice everyone is there and how well they are treated. We've always had a great experience! We've known them for over 15 years. Highly recommend them.
