I am very excited to be a part of such an outstanding dental practice. Our facility is state of the art, and our team is highly skilled and devoted to making our patients visits as enjoyable as possible. It is a great place to practice. Dr. Penterson has always been very supportive, and Lynn is a great asset with her personality and her dental abilities. Lastly, I am very grateful to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people as patients and co-workers.
Dr. Steve Booth was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and raised in Williamsburg. He received a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from the College of William and Mary, where he also played collegiate baseball. Following graduation, Dr. Booth attended dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he graduated magna cum laude.
Dr. Booth joined Dr. Penterson in 2005 and works part time as a dentist for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Presently, he is a member of the American Dental Association, the Virginia Dental Association, the Richmond Dental Society, and the Academy of General Dentistry.
I am enjoying working in a family practice with both my father and husband. We have the opportunity to pursue our individual interests within the dental field, which adds to the service we provide our patients. I enjoy working with children and believe we provide a fun, caring, and comfortable dental experience for them. I am also a Preferred Provider for Invisalign and enjoy using this tool along with other cosmetic procedures to satisfy patients desires and improve their smiles. A smile goes a long way, and it is extremely rewarding to me if I can be a part of making someone more confident about their smile.
