Dr. Thema Hepburn is a compassionate, gentle, and thorough dental practitioner. Her goal is to create a warm and pain-free environment. Dr. Hepburn’s holistic approach to dentistry incorporates a comprehensive assessment and desired aesthetics into individualized treatment plans tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Before attending the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Dr. Hepburn attained an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene and a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration from New York City College of Technology. She spent 10 years as a dental office manager and hygienist prior to attaining her dental degree, so she knows how to optimize the patient experience. After finishing her doctorate degree, Dr. Hepburn completed a general practice residency at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn. Her certifications include Invisalign orthodontic therapy, sleep apnea appliance therapy, aesthetic and TMD injectable therapies like Botox, and dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm. She does it all! Dr. Hepburn gives her time to many good causes as well as being profiled in the Academy of General Dentistry’s national publication. Her volunteer work includes providing free dental treatment of survivors of domestic violence and residents of impoverished communities, mentoring and teaching STEM disciplines to underrepresented children, and conducting free oral health screenings at a variety of health fairs. She also volunteers annually for the Greater New York Dental Meeting and the Academy of General Dentistry. When not dedicating her time to the office, Dr. Hepburn loves swimming, running, and snowboarding. Her cat, Khloe, and dog, Alexa, also keep her very busy!
