I have been practicing dentistry for 33 years, and feel truly blessed to have found the profession I was meant to serve in early in life. I knew after my personal smile transformation that I wanted to do that for others as a dental professional.
Taking care of the needs of my patients is a privilege I dont take for granted. Meeting so many wonderful people and being a small part of their lives is the best part by far. Helping people smile with confidence, educating them to be able to enjoy their teeth for a lifetime, and protecting their overall health by achieving optimum oral health is my goal!
I love providing comprehensive care for my patients. Guiding them through the progression toward complete oral health is exciting. Participating in a partnership with them to achieve the smile they want and deserve makes my job fun and rewarding. I love using my mind, my hands, and my heart every day on each patient.
Being in a profession that is always changing and progressing keeps the work fascinating as new technology is introduced and adopted. I actively take continuing education courses in orthodontic treatment with Invisalign and Fastbraces, smile makeovers, and implant dentistry. I am also a certified sedation dentist, which allows me to care for patients who may have anxiety or even a phobia associated with dental care.
I was married 39 years to my late husband, Gregory. We have two biological children, Clarissa and Brandon, both independent adults enjoying their chosen professions and raising children of their own. We have a third child, Joy, our niece, a professional chef. I am blessed to enjoy two grandsons, Dylan and Adisa, who keep me on my toes.
When Im off from work, I enjoy reading and traveling. Some of my most fun-filled moments occur just sitting in the family room with my very opinionated and animated family, talking, watching movies, or playing games.

She is very active in her community and shares her love of dentistry at career days with local schools. Dr. Burrell has also been involved with missionary work in Peru. She is married with three children.

Dr. Ahna Kelley is overjoyed to be re-joining the team at Transcendental Smiles of Georgia. She prides herself on having a caring heart and gentle hands, which makes her a perfect fit for the care team. She says her lifes purpose is to heal those who need healing by developing and sharing the gifts and talents shes been given. Dentistry has allowed Dr. Kelley to use her hands to remove sickness and disease from the oral cavity of her patients, thereby healing her patients, bringing them closer to complete oral health.
Dr. Kelley received her bachelors of science in Biology from the University of Georgia in 2012. After graduating from UGA, she joined Transcendental Smiles of Georgia as an assistant where Dr. Stephens, Dr. Burrell and Ms. Sadie Taylor mentored and groomed her to become an excellent chair-side assistant. From there, she spent a year working as a highly-requested temporary assistant, temping for dozens of dentists around the metro Atlanta area. She says working with so many different dentists taught her that each one has his or her own philosophy and standards for practice. It was at this time she began to develop her own practice philosophy and standards. After four years of assisting, Dr. Kelley took her talents to Washington, D.C. where she earned a Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University College of Dentistry.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Ive been married for 31 years to my husband, a UPS tractor-trailer driver. We have two children and one son-in-law; our oldest daughter is a high school science teacher, our youngest is in dental school, and my son-in-law is a professional football player/engineer. I like building things, reading, watching a good movie, and working with my hands.
I enjoy helping others and making a difference, which is exactly what I do here at TDSGA. Since earning my A.S. degree in dental hygiene in 2002, I have worked to promote optimal oral health by providing prophylaxis, patient screening assessments, taking X-rays, applying preventive materials, and educatingpatients. I love encouragingpatients to take control of their oral health, and feel so rewarded when I see my patients health improve.
I graduated from Wayne County Community College with my dental assistant certificate in 1996 and then continued on to attend Jamestown University where I became certified for radiology. I love putting a smile on patient's faces by providing hope for a healthier mouth and brighter smile! Both doctors are great teachers and every day is an adventure.

Everyone on the team is skilled, compassionate and thorough. How rare to find a professional yet personable staff. This was not only my experience but I witnessed the staff showing a great deal of care and patience with an elderly patient. It made me certain I was in the right place for my dental care. Oh, pain free too!

Let me first say how much I hate going to the dentist. I've been in and out of a dentist office for the most part of my life. It started with an abcess and before I knew it, my front teeth were affected. Thus began my dental journey...I w was s referred to Dr. Burrell by a friend of mind and I must say it's been a great experience. She's an amazing dentist and her assistant Wendy is such awesome lady. Not to mention Kenyatta at the front desk. She's always been very helpful with the best customer service. Thank you all for everything you've done so far. Oh! The whole team is great but I just had to mention the ones I worked closely with.

I was completely upset about the billing, however, one of the owners called (after reading my original review) was apologetic and we came to an agreement on the billing. I'm updating my stars.

I want to give a shout out to Marisa who went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND for me. I was in need of picking out the best coverage for myself and Marisa was very patient in assisting me with this task. She took the time to listen to what my needs were and made phone calls to make sure the plan I selected would be accepted by Dr. Burrell's office. As a business owner in search of health coverage the extra steps that Marisa took is priceless. Thank you Marisa for your exceptional customer service!!! Vanita Johnson

After carefully searching for a dentist in my area , I chose these two ladies, only to be met with an intern or new dentist who only wanted to sell mouth pieces and drill into my mouth on the day I was only to have a comprehensive exam and cleaning. The dental hygienist didn't do my cleaning, and Dr. Miller only took 2 minutes ( maximum) to clean my teeth. She barely cleaned my teeth. I won't allow them to barely do my fillings nor anything I might need. It was a strange visit. Ilk make the trip back to my old dentist...God Bless..

Not a good choice for new patients. I would have to wait a whole month before I could even get an appointment. The person who answer's the phone is great, very friendly and helpful and I can't blame her for the weird policy they have for new patients who can only been seen during certain times.
