After graduating from dental school in 2013, Dr. Wright served as a missionary dentist for Samaritan’s Purse in Curahuasi, Peru. During his time there, he gained extensive experience in tongue-tie revisions, acquiring more knowledge in a few months than he had throughout his previous four years of dental education and two years of pediatric dental residency.
At Hospital Diospi Suyana, Dr. Wright collaborated closely with missionary doctors, where he first learned to perform revisions using traditional clamp and scissors/scalpel techniques. Upon returning to the United States, he joined a progressive pediatric dental practice in Hilton Head, SC, renowned for pioneering diode laser technology in tongue-tie procedures. It was in this advanced setting that Dr. Wright refined his skills and mastered the latest techniques.
Inspired by his experiences, and his desire to raise his kids where he grew up he and his family returned to Chattanooga, where he established the Chattanooga Tongue Tie Center. His unique background and extensive expertise have made him one of the most trusted providers in the Greater Chattanooga area.
