Meet Your Dentist
When asked why I chose to become a dentist, the answer is simple — I enjoy helping people and working with my hands. Dentistry allows me to combine these two passions in a meaningful way. Every day, I have the opportunity to positively impact my patients’ lives by improving their oral health and their smiles.
At South Peters Dentistry, I believe in treating every patient like family. I take a straightforward approach to dentistry, ensuring you always understand your oral health status and treatment options. I aim to work with you to understand your dental needs and help you achieve your oral health goals.
I specialize in a wide range of dental procedures, with a particular focus on crowns and anterior root canals. As we look to the future, I’m excited about expanding our services to include implant dentistry, which will allow us to offer even more comprehensive care to our patients.
To provide the best possible care for my patients, I am committed to ongoing professional development. I complete 40 hours of continuing education every two years, staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in dental techniques and technologies.
At South Peters Dentistry, we’ve invested in state-of-the-art equipment to enhance your dental experience. Our office is equipped with digital X-rays and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me on the golf course or enjoying vacations with my family. These moments of relaxation and connection are essential to maintaining a balanced life and returning to the office refreshed and ready to provide the best care possible.

Tina was the dental assistance who provided the cleaning of my teeth. She was like no other I have had before.She was excellent at her job and I was so glad I had her, she kept my mind off of the sensitive area of my mouth. She was great and my teeth look and feel fantastic. On a scale of 1 to 10 I believe she is an 11.
