Dr. Grant always strives to provide a comfortable and fun experience for patients during their visits. She is passionate about education and prevention, and hopes to inspire families to embrace healthy habits beyond the dental office. She believes every child is unique and deserves an individually tailored approach. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” technique. She treats every patient like she would her own family, and loves to make people smile!

When she’s not in the office, she’s usually busy chasing after her very active young son! And even though she grew up by the beach, she’d choose forest trees over ocean waves any day. She and her husband love hiking, camping, and have managed to adventure their way through a majority of the country’s National Parks. Dr. Grant is also an avid home cook, and enjoys creating and sharing meals with her loved ones. She’s always looking for new recipes and restaurants to try, so send any recommendations her way!
