Meet Our Dentist

​​​​​​​A Note from Dr. Woodyard

I lOVE what I do. Having the privilege of being a dentist in the community in which I was raised, is such an honor, and it is a responsibility that I do not take for granted. Growing up in Livingston County, KY, I always knew that I wanted to help people in the health field, but I never considered being a dentist. Once I discovered the joy of blending art and science to perform modern day dentistry, and help improve the health, confidence and quality of life for my patients, I knew I had found my professional calling! It really is a gift to be part of the community in such a positive way. What I love about great dentistry is that it changes people’s lives in many exciting ways. My team and I get to help people look better, feel better, eat better and live better. We get to help people overcome crippling fear that has led to neglect, discomfort and pain. What could be better than that? With the advent of modern technology like CAD/CAM and digital impressions, I get to use amazing tools that let me deliver all of these things in less time and more comfortably that ever before right here in Paducah, KY. The work we are able to provide is better quality and more pleasant to accomplish that it was even a few years ago when I started practicing in 2009. It is personally an exciting time to be a dentist and I could not be more pleased to be practicing in the community I have called home most of my life.

Thanks for your interest in our practice and we welcome you to join us as a patient,

Jonathan Woodyard DMD
