Dr. Courtney Ann Dunn, DDS

Courtney A . Dunn, DDS, MS
“I’ve enjoyed science ever since I was a child. This, along with my desire to help make a positive difference in people’s lives, led me to the field of orthodontics. I went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree — and postdoctoral degree in orthodontics — from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Today, I really enjoy working with patients on a daily basis and enhancing their smiles using today’s most innovative orthodontic solutions and technologies.  I always keep in mind that orthodontic treatment is usually new to patients. So I take the time to explain everything in simple, easy to understand terms so they are fully informed about their care.”
