Lara K. Worley, DMD

Dr. Kaitlin Worley is a Cookeville native. Her dad was in the Air Force, so she grew up in North Georgia but spent every school break in Cookeville spending time with her grandparents and extended family. 

Dr. Worley attended Shorter University in Rome, Georgia, and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry. From there, she spent one year teaching General and Physical Chemistry labs at her alma mater before continuing on to attend The Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University. While studying and excelling at DCG, Dr. Worley was the only one in her class to earn a Master’s in Business Administration simultaneously by taking 2 years of night classes. She also took the opportunity to take mission trips to Haiti and Romania to share the Gospel and provide dental services. 

After graduation in 2021, Dr. Kaitlin Worley was excited to return home and  join our practice. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Tennessee Dental Association, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Dr. Worley has continued her education by taking multiple courses to become proficient in endodontics and digital dentistry. She is also pursuing education in Implant dentistry by taking a year long course on Implantology at The Dental College of Georgia. Dr Worley loves dentistry, but even more so loves helping her patients achieve the smile they deserve. 

Outside of work, Dr. Worley enjoys spending time with her husband, Garrett, and baby boy. She enjoys baking, crafting, spending time outdoors, and helping her husband remodel their 1920’s farmhouse.
