Dr. Bryant

Dr. Kristy Bryant, DMD

A proud native of Jacksonville, NC, Dr. Kristy Bryant grew up along the scenic Crystal Coast, where the sounds of the Atlantic and the small-town charm of places like Emerald Isle and Swansboro shaped her values and sense of community. Her early life near Camp Lejeune instilled a deep appreciation for service and resilience—traits that continue to influence her patient care philosophy today.

Dr. Bryant pursued her undergraduate degree at East Carolina University in Greenville, where her academic achievements and passion for helping others earned her entry into ECU’s School of Dental Medicine. She graduated with Honors in 2019, earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and becoming a double Pirate.

Following dental school, Dr. Bryant broadened her expertise through an intensive residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at UT Health San Antonio. There, she honed her surgical skills and expanded her knowledge in complex cases, with a focus on comprehensive, patient-centered care.

Her dedication to service has been nationally recognized; she was awarded the International College of Dentists Humanitarian Award for her commitment to outreach and compassionate care. Dr. Bryant brings that same heart for service back to North Carolina, where she is thrilled to now care for the communities of the Triangle, including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding areas.

Whether she’s exploring the greenways of Raleigh, enjoying local eateries in Durham, or taking a quiet stroll through the historic streets of Chapel Hill, Dr. Bryant embraces the culture and vibrancy of the region she now calls home. Outside the office, she finds joy in outdoor adventures, plant care, and spending time with her two beloved dogs—Wolfsbane and Stevie Licks—who often join her on nature walks and weekend getaways.

Dr. Bryant is committed to continuing education and staying at the forefront of dental innovation. Her patients benefit from her advanced training and gentle approach—grounded in both technical excellence and a deep-rooted desire to help others.

“Staff is amazing. So gentle but very knowledgeable. Great experiences so far with cleanings and filling replacement.”
- Trish M.
★★★★★
“I had neglected my dental care for over 20 years due to fear of the whole process. I took a leap of faith and went to this office and I am so glad I did. They understood my situation and moved forward without making me feel bad. It was an 8 month marathon of dental work. I had fillings, cleanings, wisdom teeth removed, an extraction and a wonderful implant put in. I was a hard patient to work with and the whole crew was nice to me every step of the way. Years from now when I still have my teeth I’ll have this place to thank. They fixed me up now and destroyed my fear of the dentist office for the future.”

The Latest in Aligner Technology

What Is Invisalign?

Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners custom designed for each patient’s individual treatment plan. The aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth so they don’t interfere with your normal activities or your speech. Because they are clear, they are hardly noticeable and provide the utmost discretion during treatment.
