Abby Headshot

Abby

Dental Assistant

Hey friends - I’m Abby. I graduated from dental assisting school in Charlotte NC in 2004 at Central Piedmont Community College. My husband and I moved to Greenville SC in 2007. We have been blessed with twin boys Mason and Talen who keep us very busy and I would not have it any other way! When I am not at the dental office you can find me crafting home decor pieces from vintage items with my aunt or at some ball field with my kiddos. I enjoy Clemson football, cooking, and time with family. My career in dentistry has brought me so many fulfilling moments but nothing fills my heart more than to see a patient smile with confidence!
