Dr. Holmes is a highly skilled general dentist with a strong foundation in comprehensive patient care, known for her compassionate approach and commitment to excellence. With advanced training in both dentistry and public health, she brings a unique, whole-body perspective to private practice—focusing on the connection between oral health and overall well-being.

Dr. Holmes earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine and master’s in Public Health from A.T. Still University, graduating with honors and receiving numerous leadership awards. She completed a rigorous Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency through NYU Langone Hospital, where she gained extensive experience in advanced restorative, surgical, and digital dentistry.

Her career has provided hands-on exposure to a wide range of clinical settings, including tribal, public health, and underserved communities, where she developed a strong ability to manage complex care patients. These experiences have polished her skills in prosthodontics—such as crowns, bridges, implant restorations, and removable dentures—as well as oral surgery procedures including extractions, ridge preservation, and soft tissue management.

Dr. Holmes believes great dental care starts with listening. She is passionate about creating a welcoming, trust-based environment for her patients and believes in individualized care that considers each person’s lifestyle, needs, and long-term health. Whether it’s relieving pain, restoring function, or enhancing a smile, her goal is always to help patients feel confident and cared for. Outside of the office, she enjoys singing, Pilates, trivia nights, pottery, and exploring Arizona’s beautiful outdoors.
