Meet the Team

Wendy Wright is a dedicated hygienist at Decatur Comprehensive Dentistry. She rejoined the practice in December 2022 after a brief time away, bringing with her years of experience and a genuine passion for helping patients maintain healthy, confident smiles.

After high school, Wendy attended Calhoun to complete her basic coursework. She later married and moved to Decatur in 1996. Her journey into dentistry began as a dental assistant, where she quickly discovered how much she enjoyed working with patients, caring for their teeth, and making a positive difference in their oral health. That experience inspired her to further her education, and in 2003, she attended the ADHP program and began her career as a dental hygienist.

For Wendy, becoming a hygienist was a natural progression from the work she already loved. Her time as a dental assistant confirmed that dentistry was the right profession for her and motivated her to continue growing in the field.

Outside of the office, Wendy is a proud mother of two daughters and grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters, who are the loves of her life. She treasures spending as much time with her family as possible and enjoys making memories with them whenever she can.

Jacee loves that dentistry gives her the opportunity to continuously learn while building meaningful connections with both her patients and her team. She knew she had found the right profession when she realized how much she enjoyed helping others feel comfortable and confident in their smiles. She also appreciates that no two days are exactly the same, keeping her work exciting and rewarding.

Brittany attended dental assisting school at Calhoun Community College, where she prepared for a career in a field she found both interesting and rewarding.

Brittany was drawn to dentistry because she wanted to be part of helping people. During her time as a dental assistant, she especially loved working directly with patients and seeing their before-and-after results. Watching how a transformed smile could positively impact someone’s confidence confirmed that she had chosen the right profession.

One of Amy’s favorite parts of dentistry is helping transform people’s smiles. A particularly meaningful experience confirmed just how powerful her work could be when the team treated a patient who had struggled with drug addiction. After treating every tooth and reconstructing her smile, seeing the patient’s emotional reaction and renewed confidence was a moment Amy will never forget.

Outside of the office, Amy proudly describes herself as a “Mother to Many.” She has a one-year-old “mini me,” complete with plenty of sass, and loves spending time with her nephews and the rest of her family.

Roberta Pullen is a hygiene coordinator at Decatur Comprehensive Dentistry. She originally joined the practice in 2001 and, after an eight-year break to pursue other adventures, recently returned to the DCD team.

Throughout her career in dentistry, Roberta has found great fulfillment in helping patients make their dental experiences as comfortable and positive as possible. She enjoys using her communication and customer service skills every day and especially values the meaningful relationships she has built with patients over the years.

CJ knew she had found the right profession the first time a patient became emotional after seeing their new smile. Witnessing how much that transformation meant to the patient confirmed that dentistry was exactly where she belonged.
