As an orthodontist, I have the unique opportunity to change people's lives by improving their smile and their self-esteem. I love knowing that I impact the children and adults of our community by enabling them to feel confident as they pursue their dreams.
My highest goal professionally is to provide the most effective, efficient and comfortable treatments for my patients. By learning about the latest orthodontic treatments and technology, I am able to ensure that my patients will always receive the best care available.
As a part of my continuing education, I am a member of the Hinman Dental Society, which holds numerous seminars as well as a large annual meeting in Atlanta. I also participate in Dawson Academy courses and attend yearly conferences in orthodontics and other dental specialties. By studying the latest orthodontic research and proven methods, I know my patients will attain beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.
My patients come to me because they want a beautiful new smile. I enjoy getting to know each patient personally, and make sure they also get a wonderful orthodontic experience. After all, getting a new smile should be enjoyable! Of course, the best part of what I do is seeing the final results, and how happy my patients are. Not only does their appearance improve, but they are often much more comfortable than before treatment, and their teeth are much easier to clean. Lives change in our office every day, and I'm proud of what I do for our patients.
Braces are not just for kids and teens, and I love working with people of all ages. Everyone benefits differently from his or her orthodontic experience, and personally knowing each patient and how orthodontic treatment affects their lives is my greatest reward. Excellent patient care is the center of our daily focus, and my team and I love what we do!
I grew up in Covington, and love serving the people of my hometown. My husband, Allen, and I have three wonderful sons named Brody, Harrison, and Parker. When I am not in the office, you can find me spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, or exercising. I also travel weekly to the Children's Hospital of Atlanta, where I work in the Craniofacial Clinic providing orthodontic care to patients with craniofacial anomalies.

Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.
For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:
The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:
Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
