Meet the Dr. Justin Groody

Dr. Groody (AKA Dr. G) started his road to become a dentist right here in Wilmington at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He graduated with honors, earning a degree in Biology. He later attended the UNC School of Dentistry and discovered his passion for helping patients improve their self-confidence. This revelation led him to continue his studies in the field of orthodontics at the coveted Virginia Commonwealth University Orthodontic Residency in Richmond, VA.

Dr. G underwent the rigorous process of becoming one of the few orthodontists in the area who is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. He is proud to have earned the distinction of being a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics, an honor held by only 33% of practicing orthodontists! This distinction is the highest accreditation awarded to orthodontists and demonstrates his commitment to providing the highest standard of care to his patients.

Orthodontics means so much more than just straight teeth to Dr. G. He is passionate about helping his patients improve their confidence through their smiles and is grateful for the opportunity to build lasting relationships with his patients throughout their smile journeys, a truly transformative experience!

When Dr. G isn't creating amazing smiles for his patients, he loves to spend his time staying active with sports and daily workouts, cooking new foods, and traveling the world. Dr. G is newly married to his high school sweetheart, Nicolette, and they are expecting their first child in January! The couple, along with their two kitties and rescue dog, Dahlia, are thrilled to be a part of the wonderful coastal community.
