Our story

A practice built her own way

Dr. Portia Grayson Williams trained in hospital dentistry, then set out to build the kind of office she'd want to be a patient in — unhurried, honest about money, and genuinely gentle. Eleven years later, that office is still hers.

  1. Tupelo, MS

    Where it started

    Dr. Grayson trained in hospital dentistry before moving to Atlanta — a background that shaped a calm, careful, patient-first approach.

  2. ~2014

    Her own practice, in Buckhead

    She opened Buckhead Smile Center in the heart of the neighborhood — a women-owned office where anxious patients feel looked after by name.

  3. Today

    Families who stay

    Patients cite 4, 8, even 11-year tenures. The through-line in the reviews: gentle cleanings, a warm front desk, and pricing told to you straight.

  4. 4.3★

    750 Google reviews

    A decade of Buckhead families — and an owner who reads and responds to reviews personally.
