Dr. Paul earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Furman University where he was a member of the varsity men’s golf team. He earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the Medical College of Georgia followed by a certificate in Advanced General Dentistry from the University of Mississippi. Dr. Paul completed his education by earning his specialized orthodontic certification from The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University (formerly MCG).
Dr. Paul is honored to work with his father providing excellent orthodontic care to their patients. Paul continues to hone his skills with 40-50 hours of study a year around the latest in orthodontic procedures and patient care.
