Dr. Sharon Dickerson is a trauma-informed biological dentist with over 35 years of experience, dedicated to transforming not only her patients' dental health but also their overall sense of well-being.

With a focus on TMJ/TMD treatment, mercury removal, and biocompatible care, Dr. Dickerson blends cutting-edge technology with a heartfelt commitment to personalized, patient-centered care. Whether restoring balance to a bite or addressing deeper systemic health issues, she takes joy in partnering with her patients to help them feel seen, valued, and supported.
