Dr. Jaclyn Johnson
Owner and General Dentist
Dr. Jaclyn Johnson has an inspiring origin story when it comes to dentistry. In 2004, she was the front desk receptionist for Dr. Naylor and Everett, PLLC, a time during which she admitted she knew nothing about teeth and hated her smile. However, she quickly soaked up all the available knowledge and information like a sponge and became deeply connected with the dental office's team and patients. When she moved from the front desk to the treatment rooms as a dental assistant, she got "bit by the dentistry bug" and fell in love with everything about clinical dentistry. It wasn't long before Jaclyn started imagining herself sitting on the other side of the chair, so she decided to go back to school to become a dentist!
Dr. Johnson received her doctorate at WVU School of Dentistry and has been a practicing dentist since 2015. In 2017, she bought Dr. Naylor and Everett, PLLC and rebranded it as Preston Dental Care, where she and Dr. Ashley Helfer now lead our dynamic team. Dr. Johnson's goal as a dentist is to help people from all walks of life maintain their smiles and keep those pearlies looking great. She firmly believes in helping people overcome their fear of dentists and educating them to confidently and happily participate in their dental care.
I love that every patient brings a new challenge and perspective to the table (or chair, I suppose). I enjoy getting to know them, and my favorite moments are when a patient says they are no longer afraid of going to the dentist. I love being a part of making that possible for them, but I couldn't do it without the help of my wonderful team, who always go the extra mile to help make patients comfortable. There is always laughter in our office, and it makes spending time with my patients and team so enjoyable. —Dr. Jaclyn Johnson
Dr. Johnson is unafraid of a challenge and craves adventure. Traveling is one of her biggest passions; she loves seeing new places and making memories with her family. Her travel bucket list is seemingly never-ending, as she's always thinking of new and exciting corners of the world to explore.
Patients may not know that Dr. Johnson is very active outside of the dental office. Some of her hobbies include training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. She also has a background in drama and dance, and those who have seen our Facebook videos might not be surprised by this. If you follow Preston Dental Care on Facebook, you will likely see Dr. Johnson cut a rug for our team and patients' entertainment!
