Dr. Molly Burton, DMD
Owner & Lead Dentist
Dr. Molly Burton grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, and earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky before completing her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. Since graduating, she has completed more than 500 hours of continuing education at world-class institutions, including the Kois Center in Seattle and Austin's Spear Study Club.
Dr. Burton believes dentistry is the perfect blend of art and science, and she brings that philosophy to every patient interaction. She's known for her warmth, patience with anxious patients, and commitment to co-diagnosis, helping patients truly understand their oral health so they can make confident, informed decisions about their care.
Outside the office, Dr. Burton is married to Gregory and is mom to two daughters, Lucy and Elizabeth, and their mini Aussiedoodle, Weller. A creative at heart, she loves painting, crafting, sewing, and embroidery, and is always dreaming up her next project. She also enjoys baking, hiking, camping, and traveling with her family. With loved ones spread across Louisville, Chicago, Boston, and Austin, she has plenty of reasons to travel, but she's proud to call Austin home and considers herself a Longhorn by adoption and by heart.
