For Dr. Stephanie, the idea to open a dental practice began while she was still in dental school. At the time, students had to create a business plan for an assignment. Somewhere along the way, the idea of starting a practice became more than just a graded exercise. While in her pediatric residency, Dr. Stephanie decided to purchase the property that would eventually become West Haven Pediatric Dentistry.
Did you know the name West Haven has sentimental value? In 1992, Dr. Stephanies mother and grandmother started a daycare in Evans, Georgia and they named it West Haven Preschool and Learning Center. She basically grew up at the daycare and even had her first job there at the age of sixteen. When it came time for Dr. Stephanie to name her practice- it was a no brainer!
Here at West Haven Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to specialize in pediatric dentistry. We truly believe in starting children off right when it comes to their dental health.

Dr. Stephanie started her dental career working as a dental hygienist at a local pediatric dental office. There, she quickly realized her passion for working with kids and decided to further her education. She went on to receive her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Augusta University and was then accepted into their pediatric residency program. She completed two years of specialty training while there which focused on treating children, adolescents, and those with special needs.
