Delivering a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Smiles

Growing up, I knew I wanted to do something in the health field to help people improve their lives, and I knew I wanted to work with people on a one-to-one basis. My dad is a general dentist, and after seeing the relationships he developed through his work and how he has been able to positively influence the lives of his patients, I knew the dental field was right for me. It’s the ideal combination of healthcare, personal connections, and improving quality of life.

I love getting to know each patient as a person, and I particularly love seeing a person get excited about their transformation. I love watching our patients move through their treatment and become more confident and happy as they see the change in their smile. 

Education and Continuing Education

• Degree in Dietetics from the University of Georgia
• Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the Medical College of Georgia
• Orthodontic Residency at the Medical College of Georgia

It’s important for me to constantly improve my skills and knowledge to be the best possible orthodontist for my patients. Technology is constantly improving and new techniques are continually emerging. I need to know the newest modes of treatment for my patients’ oral health, so I complete many hours of continuing orthodontic and oral health education each year. I’m also an active participant in several study clubs.

Beyond the Office

I grew up in Stone Mountain and now live in Buford. My husband, Brian Dempsey, and I met at the University of Georgia. He’s an optometrist and practices in Loganville. We have two beautiful daughters, Caroline and Victoria. When not at work I’m usually playing with my girls. I also enjoy exercising, spending time outdoors, traveling to Seaside, FL, Disney World, or any national park, and I am very active in my church, St. Columba’s Episcopal Church.
