In June 2014, she successfully earned a post-graduate Certificate in Advanced Education in General Dentistry by completing a 12-month residency program (coincidentally, this is the same program Dr. Montz completed in 1997). This residency program afforded her extensive training in cosmetic dentistry, implant restorations, dentures, and much more.

Dr. Dunwody first became interested in dentistry at the young age of 9, which she knocked her front tooth out while playing on a set of monkey bars! This event, which seemed dire at the time (and for the next 15 years!), inspired her ambition to become the best dentist she can be, and to strive to treat her patients as wonderfully as she was treated throughout her tough dental journey. Dr. Dunwody knows the importance of staying up-to-date with the ever-evolving field of dentistry, which is why she is very connected and involved. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the Greater Houston Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Dunwody volunteers her time with events such as Give Kids a Smile and Project Saving Smiles, both which are dedicated to providing to children who would otherwise have no exposure to dental care. She has also attended Texas Missions of Mercy events, and plans to serve at many more. Since moving to Friendswood, she has become an active member of her new church family, as well as her Crossfit family, where she exercises several (okay, usually only 2-3) times a week.
