Meet Dr. Smith

I am from Jefferson, Georgia and attended Jefferson High School. I am the youngest of three girls and we spent plenty of time helping our father in his dental practice – filing charts, cleaning rooms and making art out of wax. We were members of the Methodist church and were engaged in the community with service projects and school activities. Weekends were spent having lake days at Lake Lanier or traveling to different sporting events.

After high school, I traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to attend Samford University and graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2007. I met my husband during our college years and moved to Clinton, Mississippi to achieve my Master of Science in Biology (Medical Sciences) at Mississippi College in 2008. From there, I came back to Georgia to the Dental College of Georgia (formerly the Medical College of Georgia) to obtain my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and graduated in 2012.

Once completing my studies, my husband and I decided to venture to Colorado as we both have a love of skiing. I worked in public health in Steamboat, Colorado then owned a private practice in Frisco, Colorado. Our oldest two children were born in the Rockies and after 5 years of living in Colorado, we decided to move back to Georgia to raise our family. Arriving in Greensboro, Georgia in 2017, I worked as an associate before joining Dental Partners of Milledgeville.

Right now, my free time is spent with my husband and our four children (Jackson, Emmy, Abigail & Tucker) from cheering them on in a game or play to coaching them on the court or field. I love being a mom and sharing my love of animals, the ocean & sports with my children. When they are all old enough, they want to join me scuba diving and snow skiing.

In my professional career, I enjoy giving back to the community with free dental care programs or with local and national mission work. My goal is to help others through my faith and my talents. I look forward to serving Milledgeville and making patients feel comfortable going to the dentist.
