Name of Practice:

David Nepa General Dentistry

Education:

DMD, Rutgers University School of Dental Medicine


Why She Was Nominated:

A full-time mother, wife and dentist, Dr. Cleary is adding to her responsibilities by opening her first practice later this year. She’s active in the American Dental Association, the Southern Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Spear Club and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Fully trained in Botox injections, she is currently training in CAD/CAM and intraoral scanning to advance her new practice.

Why She Became a Dentist:

“The flexibility dentistry offers to all professionals, but especially women.”

Tool She Can’t Live Without:

“A gold-handled curved hemostat.”

Exciting New Trend:

“I recently became certified in Botox and dermal fillers. Adding Botox is a service that patients are excited about.”

Biggest Challenge:

“A healthy life balance. I’m married to a wonderful man, and we have two small children. Being a wife and mother, working as a full-time dentist and taking on a new adventure as a small-business owner is time-consuming. I’m grateful for my husband, my mother and our babysitter for helping take care of my kids, and for my awesome team of coworkers.”
