St. Marys Oral Surgeon

Unlike other local oral surgeons, Dr. Diane M. Pennington, D.M.D., M.D. is a board-certified oral surgeon. This means she graduated from an accredited dental school and is licensed to practice in Georgia. Being board-certified also means Dr. Pennington maintains the highest standards in oral surgery, including meeting additional standards beyond what standard licensing requires.

She practices exclusively in St. Marys, Georgia and focuses on wisdom teeth, dental implants, oral pathology, office-based general anesthesia, and intravenous sedation. She treats children and adults, as well as special needs patients. She continues to take advanced training in various aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to stay abreast of new developments in the field.
