Happy Monday! Comcast is doing “network enhancements” today, which means our phone and internet will be sketchy all day. If you have a dental need and can’t get ahold of us you can reach us at 912-713-3344. Sorry for the inconvenience.

✨ Caricature Spotlight: Dr. Jay Melvin ✨

When he’s not helping patients smile at Melvin Family Dentistry, there’s a good chance you’ll find Dr. Jay Melvin cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, watching the Atlanta Braves, or spending time outdoors camping with his three boys and his awesome wife, Tricia 🏕️⚾🐶

A proud UGA graduate and serious sports fanatic, Dr. Melvin brings the same energy and dedication to the office that he brings to game day. Whether he’s talking football, baseball, family adventures, or helping patients feel comfortable in the chair, he’s always all in.

Patients know him for his caring personality, attention to detail, and ability to make people feel at ease the moment they walk through the door.

We’re pretty sure if dentistry didn’t work out, he could have been a full-time sports commentator… especially during football season 😄

✨ Meet Our Most Consistent Visitor… ✨

If you’ve ever been sitting in one of our chairs near the outside window, chances are you’ve met this little guy.

He has been part of Melvin Family Dentistry for years. He shows up daily, checks on our patients, and keeps a very close eye on office activity… especially when a fresh batch of corn is involved. 🌽

We like to think of him as our unofficial mascot.

His official title?
Head of Window Security & Corn Quality Control.

He works hard, stays alert, and is always on time.
His payment arrangement is simple: 100 percent corn based compensation. No insurance claims required.

So next time you’re in the chair by the window, look outside. You might just see our favorite furry team member clocking in for the day.

Drop a 🌽 if you’ve spotted him before!

✨ Caricature Spotlight: Carol ✨

If you’ve ever had a question about insurance, chances are Carol has already handled it before you even had to ask.

She manages a huge part of our insurance claims process and let’s just say… she is one tough cookie 🍪💪 But she does it all with a smile that never quits.

Coming from a military family, Carol knows how to run the show. Organized. Disciplined. Detail oriented. Behind every smooth appointment and processed claim is Carol making sure everything adds up just right. We are so thankful for her steady leadership and can-do attitude.

Drop a ❤️ for Carol and all the behind-the-scenes work she does to keep Melvin Family Dentistry running strong!

✨ Caricature spotlight: Tricia Melvin ✨

If there’s a beach involved, that’s Tricia’s happy place 🏖️
If there’s a campsite, she already has her coffee cup in hand ⛺
And if Georgia Tech is playing… you already know she’s cheering on the Yellow Jackets 🐝💛 because she’s a true Helluva Engineer.

When she’s not camping or soaking up beach time, Tricia is the co-owner of Melvin Family Dentistry and the friendly face you’ll often see at the front desk keeping everything running smoothly. She also jumps in as a dental assistant whenever needed, because teamwork is kind of her thing.

Smart, organized, and always ready to help, Tricia keeps our office moving and our patients smiling. We’re lucky to have her 💙🦷

✨ We’re officially jumping on the caricature trend ✨

Meet Natalia, one of our amazing dental hygienists, reimagined in caricature form and honestly… this could not be more her 😄

From caring for smiles in the dental chair to loving on her pups, plants, and a little baking magic on the side, this artwork captured her personality perfectly 💙🪴🐾🧁

We’re having way too much fun with this trend, and this is just the beginning…
👉 Stay tuned to see the rest of our team’s caricatures because more smiles are coming soon!

Drop a ❤️ if you love this one as much as we do!

Welcome to the team, Alex! 🦷✨

We’re so excited to introduce Alex, our newest dental assistant here at the office. Alex is a mom of two, originally from Indiana, and has called our area home for about five years after spending time living in South Korea, where her son was born. Talk about an amazing life story already.

Alex recently earned her dental assisting certificate from Savannah Dental Assistant School and is eager to begin her career in healthcare. We’re thrilled to have her compassion, energy, and enthusiasm joining our team.

When she’s not at the office, Alex loves spending quality time with her kids! 🧒 Be sure to say hello and help us give Alex a big welcome when you see her! 😁
