You can learn more about our friendly team below.
Our practice has been blessed to have Candy as an integral part of our team for over 25 years! Candy does an amazing job taking care of our patients’ oral health, which leads to better overall health. She is fun, energetic, and knows everyone by name. She loves sharing stories with families and developing lifelong relationships with her patients.
Candy and her husband David have two children, as well as two fur babies. She really enjoys traveling in her spare time, especially to unique places where she can stay in one-of-a-kind accommodations (tiny houses, tree houses, containers, etc). Staying in a secluded cabin on a mountain in the fall or winter is one of her happy places! She also spends plenty of quality time with family and loves to ride motorcycles.
Keri is a Registered Dental Hygienist with nearly three decades of experience in the dental field. She loves being able to help our patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles while also sharing a laugh or two.
Keri has lived in Rome since 1994. Her family consists of her husband Matt, her three grown children (Brittany, Maci, and Dastyn), and her two (adorable by the way) grandsons. As for hobbies, she spends most of her free time traveling. Beach locations are her favorite, but she also loves the mountains and exploring new cities where she can soak up the culture and try plenty of new restaurants!
Autumn started her career in dentistry with the inception of Weldon Dental in 2021. She has been specially trained by Dr. Weldon in implant placement and restorations and has completed her expanded duties certification with the Georgia Board of Dentistry as well. As one of our chairside dental assistants, what she enjoys most about her work is seeing the amazing transformation of each patient’s unique smile!
Away from the dental office, Autumn spends her time with her young daughter Presley and her close-knit family. Some of her favorite hobbies include riding ATV’s, drag racing, and seeing her beautiful daughter on stage in pageants.
Ashley joined our team in 2022 and has over a decade of experience in the field of dentistry. She completed her training to become a dental assistant at Columbus Technical College and has also completed additional certifications in nitrous oxide sedation, coronal polishing, dental sealants, and has her expanded duties certification with the Georgia Board of Dentistry
Known for her warm smile and endless compassion, it always makes Ashley’s day when she sees our patients smile on the way out of their appointments due to the care she has provided. She is always there to provide our patients with a warm blanket, a word or reassurance, or a hand to hold if they are feeling anxious.
Originally from Lafayette, Georgia, Ashley is married with one son who keeps her very busy! She spends most of her free time at his sporting events, including football, baseball, and basketball. When she isn’t spending time with family, she likes to travel and enjoy the great outdoors.
Raised in Summerville, Georgia, Allie has been working in the dental field since 2021. After graduating from Chattooga High School, she went on to study at Columbus Technical College to earn her certification in dental assisting. She is also certified in a wide variety of tasks, including X-ray safety, coronal polishing, and expanded functions courses 4-6, which involve certification in nitrous oxide sedation, sealant placement, fluoride applications, impressions, denture repairs, and more.
As our in house pediatric specialist, her favorite part of her job is helping kids (and parents!) relax and have fun while getting the dental care they need! Quick with a puppet show or help selecting their favorite toothpaste flavor, Allie loves coaching new or anxious patients through their first appointments and seeing their happy smiles when they are done.
At home, Allie loves spending time with her family and loved ones. She also likes doing outdoor activities like kayaking, watching Georgia Bulldogs football, and seeing her little brother playing sports. One cool fact about her: her first time on an airplane was also the first time she went skydiving!
With nearly a decade of experience in the dental field, Tabitha joined our team in 2023. She attended Northwest Florida State and began her career as a Certified Dental Assistant with Expanded Functions. As our Treatment Coordinator, Tabitha is known for being extremely patient and thorough. She is always happy to help patients schedule appointments, discuss treatment plans, or navigate insurance coverage. For her, the best part of her job is showing each patient that she understands and that she cares.
Tabitha is married, has one child, and has several animals – including cats, dogs, and ducks! She and her husband are also Youth Pastors at their church and they enjoy riding their motorcycle in their free time
Originally from Douglasville, Georgia, Christi has two decades of experience in the dental field. She joined our team in August of 2023 and loves being a part of helping people get the dental care that they need. She also serves as our hospital coordinator for our pediatric sedation cases and works closely with the Surgery Center of Rome.
Christi and her boyfriend, Mike, have six kids together that range from ages 23 to 5 (and they also have a dog!) If their family didn’t keep them busy enough, they also just completely remodeled their first house and are looking forward to starting renovations on their rental properties.
