The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University

The DCG at Augusta University is so grateful for the support that our students and employees have received. From the Georgia Dental Association (see story below) to the American Dental Association to the Georgia Board of Regents—including our friends at Gordon State College—to local businesses, organizations, and individuals, AU dental students were well cared for.

We are so thrilled for the DCG alumni who were named winners and finalists for the Cyber City Community Choice Awards, sponsored by The Augusta Chronicle. DCG grads swept the Dental Clinic category. Jordan Family Dentistry, owned by Dr. Melissa Jordan (DMD, 2011), was named the winner of Cyber City's Community Choice for local dental clinic. In addition to Jordan, the practice employs several other Augusta University graduates, including dental hygienists Amie Thomas, Kristy Lewis and Sharon McGowan. The two runners-up, Serenity Dental and Summerville Dentistry, are also both owned by DCG graduates: • Dr. Eric Sterett (DMD, 2009) owns and operates Serenity Dental.

Bish (DMD, 2019) and Dr. Josi Giovinazzo (DMD, 2023). DCG alumni also dominated the Orthodontic Clinic category. Powell Orthodontics, run by a father-son team of dual DCG grads, clinched the winner's position for Cyber City's Community Choice for local orthodontic clinic. Dr. Steven Powell (DMD, 1981) is a triple Jag, having finished his B.S. in Biology at AU in 1977 and his orthodontics residency in 1988. Son Dr. Robert Powell (DMD, 2018) is a double-Jag, having completed an MBA at AU in 2014, and he also serves as a part-time Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthodontics.

Members of the Georgia General Assembly House Of Representatives (GA House) Health Appropriations Subcommittee and of the GA House Health Committee toured the Augusta University health sciences campus on Sept 17. Dean Nancy Young hosted the tour through The DCG, beginning with an introduction and question and answer session in the fifth floor conference room, then winding down through the Senior Clinic, the Thomas P. Hinman Simulation Lab, Sterilization, Dispensary, the Surgical Suite, and the haptic training room where representatives tried their hand at preparing a tooth. These in-person experiences let visitors receive a more complete understanding of what we do at The DCG, how our students learn and succeed, and what facilities, technology, and people power we need to provide the best educational experience we can for our students, residents, faculty, and staff. #Dentistry #DentalSchool #PublicService #PublicHealth #JaguarNation #LegislativeAgenda #ElectedRepresentatives #LikeNoOther
