Dr. Jeon's Bio:
I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. There seemed to be something magical, gratifying and even self-healing in the opportunity to help someone feel better when something didn’t feel right. As I grew up watching my father helping and treating his patients through acupuncture, I wanted to do something similar with my hands. Ironically, dentistry was not in my
future plans due to a personal traumatic childhood experience at a dentist office in South Korea. After I graduated from North Carolina State University in 2006 with Magna Cum Laude in Microbiology and minors in genetics, psychology, health, medicine & human values, I was on my path to pursue medicine. As fate would have it, I landed a short-term job as an office intern/dental assistant during this time while preparing to apply to medical schools and the rest became history. Attending UNC Chapel Hill Adams School of Dentistry was definitely a dream come true. After graduating with DDS in 2012, I worked as an associate for 3 years in different areas of the triangle until I found Dr. Morehead’s office in Wake Forest in the summer of 2015. She was ready to pass on the torch and I was grateful to continue caring for her family of patients. These patients have accepted me with kind open arms and they have become part of my own. I appreciate and enjoy their every visit, family updates and wonderful comments/treats they bring to the office. I truly consider and provide treatment for them as I would for my own and I’m sincerely grateful for their trust and smiles. When I’m not working at the office, I spend all of my free time being a mom and wife. I live in north Raleigh with my husband James (my high school sweetheart from Broughton High School) and our 3 children: Zoe (11), Noah (9) and Isaiah (3). We also have a tiny fur ball named Teddy, who is a poo-chon. We love trying out different restaurants in town and just spending time together as family.
