Dr William Axtell

Dr. William Axtell is a dedicated family and general dentist who combines advanced training with a compassionate approach to care. After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, he completed a General Practice Residency at Augusta University and The Dental College of Georgia, where he received advanced training in comprehensive dentistry, hospital-based care, and sedation techniques. He has extensive training in both oral and IV sedation dentistry, and sedation care has become a cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Axtell understands that dental anxiety is common, and he takes pride in offering safe, comfortable options that help patients receive the care they need with confidence and ease. Dr. Axtell is also comprehensively trained in dental implant therapy, ranging from single-tooth replacement to full-mouth rehabilitation. His expertise includes implant-supported fixed prostheses (All-on-X) as well as implant-retained overdentures, giving patients a wide variety of solutions to restore function, comfort, and confidence in their smiles. In addition to caring for patients directly, he has also trained other dentists in advanced and complex implant procedures through specialized courses. Beyond implants and sedation, Dr. Axtell provides a full scope of general, restorative, cosmetic, and surgical dentistry, including crowns, veneers, root canal therapy, aesthetic restorations, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, and Invisalign® care. His comprehensive training allows him to provide nearly all aspects of dental care under one roof. He also has a strong commitment to service, having volunteered his skills to treat patients with a history of substance abuse, providing compassionate dental care to underserved populations. Outside the office, Dr. Axtell loves to ski, travel, and spend time outdoors. He also enjoys being with his family and staying active in the community. His philosophy is simple: treat every patient like family and create lasting relationships built on trust, honesty, and excellent care.
