It is with heavy hearts that we have to share with the Wilhite Orthodontics community that our leader and friend, Dawn Wilhite, passed away early Tuesday. We are devastated at what her loss means to our community and her family. Please join us in positive thoughts and prayers for her family, especially for her daughters whom she adored, Hannah and Kaleigh.

Please rest assured that Dr. Wilhite had a plan in place to ensure that her patients would be well cared for in her absence. We have been overwhelmed by the show of love and support from her patients and the professional community. Many in the dental community have volunteered their time here in our office as we strive to provide the care that you have come to expect from our team. Unless you hear from us otherwise, please plan to come to our office at your appointed time.

Dr. Wilhite’s personal representative has stepped in to assist in the effort to continue patient care and will be in the office most days we’re open over at least the next few weeks. We are working diligently towards a long-term plan for the practice and will share with you the details of that plan as it comes together. Know that our first priority is for the care of your family. We ask for your patience and understanding as we all navigate this difficult time together. We will do our best to minimize any disruption to your care.

Thank you for your understanding and support. While we grieve deeply for our loss we are comforted by the expressions of love and compassion we have felt from all of you who have reached out.

Grieving as one,
The Wilhite Orthodontics Team
