TRANSCENDENTAL SMILES OF GEORGIA - Key Persons

Dr. Ahna Kelley is overjoyed to be re-joining the team at Transcendental Smiles of Georgia. She prides herself on having a caring heart and gentle hands, which makes her a perfect fit for the care team. She says her life's purpose is to heal those who need healing by developing and sharing the gifts and talents she's been given. Dentistry has allowed Dr. Kelley to use her hands to remove sickness and disease from the oral cavity of her patients, thereby healing her patients, bringing them closer to complete oral health. Dr. Kelley received her bachelor's of science in Biology from the University of Georgia in 2012. After graduating from UGA, she joined Transcendental Smiles of Georgia as an assistant where Dr. Stephens, Dr. Burrell and Ms. Sadie Taylor mentored and groomed her to become an excellent chair-side assistant. From there, she spent a year working as a highly-requested temporary assistant, temping for dozens of dentists around the metro Atlanta area. She says working with so many different dentists taught her that each one has his or her own philosophy and standards for practice. It was at this time she began to develop her own practice philosophy and standards. After four years of assisting, Dr. Kelley took her talents to Washington, D.C. where she earned a Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from Howard University College of Dentistry. Dr. Kelley, an Atlanta native, is happy to return home to the office where her career in dentistry began. She believes the best doctors listen to their patients and learn from their patients to better serve their patients. She is dedicated to understanding the concerns and goals of each patient in order to provide the best comprehensive care possible. Schedule your appointment with Dr. Kelley without delay - she is ready to take great care of you!

I have been practicing dentistry for 39 years, and feel truly blessed to have found the profession I was meant to serve in early in life. I knew after my personal smile transformation that I wanted to do that for others as a dental professional.
