Mr Julia N. Wheeler

Being a dentist is something I have worked toward my entire life. I love what I do and feel blessed to be able to help people – whether alleviating pain, restoring the ability to chew, brightening a smile and a person’s confidence, or providing a worry-free exam – I have the opportunity to truly touch others’ lives. That is especially meaningful to me as I serve my hometown community. I grew up in Martinez and attended both Augusta State University and The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University (previously known as the Medical College of Georgia School of Dental Medicine). I care about our community and am honored to see and care for so many wonderful people: neighbors, friends, and friends-to-be! I work hard to form a one-to-one connection with each person, based on open communication, respect, and compassion, and always treat individuals as part of my family. Dentistry is a personal space for many people and being in a comfortable, reassuring, and calm environment can diminish a person’s anxiety. Some of my patients have started with me experiencing fear at the thought of a procedure, due to traumatic past experiences. My team and I make it our mission to help such people overcome their anxiety through coaching, sedation, and painless injections, along with personalized care. My team is exceptional and the strength of this practice. Together we have created and maintain a positive and healthy environment for our patient family and ourselves.
