Dr. Penry brings 20 years of dental expertise and a genuine passion for patient care to our office. A proud graduate of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, she has spent two decades honing her skills and building meaningful relationships with patients from all walks of life.
Originally from Ohio, Dr. Penry relocated to beautiful Southern California 15 years ago when her husband completed his medical training and established his career in Orange County. She joined the HealthySmile 360 family in May 2025 and has quickly become a trusted and beloved member of the team.
Dr. Penry is known for her empathetic approach and her ability to put even the most anxious patients at ease. She believes that exceptional dental care goes beyond clinical skill, it’s about truly listening to patients, understanding their concerns, and treating every individual with the care and respect they deserve.
When she’s not in the office, Dr. Penry’s world revolves around her two kids — an 11-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter who keep her on her toes and always on the go. She loves soaking up every moment with her husband and children, and that same love of family and connection is something she brings with her into the office every single day. Family and community are at the heart of everything she does, and that warmth comes through in every patient interaction.
