It is my belief that dentistry is not only about helping you maintain the best dental health possible, but also about encouraging your overall health. Because of this, I practice mercury-safe, biological dentistry in accordance with the standards of health and safety as outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, along with other medical professionals committed to whole-body health.
WHAT IS BIOLOGICAL DENTISTRY?

Biological dentistry recognizes the negative impact that many materials commonly used in dentistry can have on a patient’s oral, physiological, and overall health. As such, biological dentistry is focused on the integrity of teeth and the oral cavity and uses materials and procedures that are safe for the body.

I am from Boonville, NC, one town over from our office in Yadkinville. My interest in dentistry began at an early age, as my mother was a dental assistant and I was frequently at her office as a child. As I got older, I became involved in volunteering at dental clinics with some of our local dentists. Following high school graduation, I attended Wake Forest University where I played volleyball and received a degree in biology. I received my dental degree from UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry in 2016. It was my desire to serve others locally that brought me back to Yadkinville, NC and I am so happy to be providing dental care in my own community.

As a dentist, I am passionate about education and prevention. The mouth is the door to a healthy body! I work diligently with my staff to give our patients the tools to take care of and maintain their teeth for a long, healthy life. I want my patients to feel confident and proud of their smile and to be comfortable at their dental visits. My favorite thing about dentistry is the relationship I have the opportunity to build with each of my patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering both locally and abroad, combining my love for travel with my passion to serve others. In my free time, I enjoy pursuing further learning through continuing education courses and hiking. I am also very passionate about food—growing, cooking, and eating it! My husband, Corey, and I live in Winston Salem with our dog, a Belgian Malinois named Finn.

Overall, I feel very blessed in my practice and home life, and I feel a great deal of gratitude for my patients, as I learn new things from you all each and every day. I look forward to an opportunity to help you achieve the beautiful, healthy smile you deserve!

Services

Sedation Dentistry

If you or someone you know, finds going to the dentist one of the last things they would think to do, then they could be a good candidate for a very easy and successful technique. We are talking about conscious sedation. The idea of going to the dentist is enough to keep most patients from visiting. However, with oral conscious sedation, patients can obtain cosmetic and general dentistry services without feeling frightened or nervous. Oral conscious sedation utilizes medication that is prescribed to patients to relax and calm them. It is given to them before their appointments and should be taken approximately one hour beforehand. Then, the patient arranges for transportation to their appointment, and will arrive conscious but very comfortable and calm. Patients will be awake during their dental appointment, and will be able to answer Drs. Mary Katherine Taylor and Mark Shircliffe, and the dental hygienist when questions are asked.

Biological Pediatric Dentistry

General dentistry describes techniques to keep the mouth healthy, and procedures to correct dental problems that do occur. Holistic pediatric dentistry marries the best of conventional dental care with an approach that considers the overall wellness and long-term effects of every treatment.

Mercury Safe Dentistry

At Virtue Dental Care, our patient’s health and well-being are very important to us. This is why we provide mercury safe dentistry as well as safe mercury removal in our general dentistry practice.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is a popular way for patients to improve the appearance of their smiles. Many patients believe that they are unable to change what they were naturally born with. Thanks to improvements in dental technologies, materials, and techniques, patients of all ages can enjoy positive changes to their smiles. Patients can straighten, whiten, and improve the alignment of their teeth with all of the various cosmetic procedures and treatments available.
