Hi, my name is Maranda! I grew up in Manchester, TN, where I later went on to college at Middle Tennessee State University. In 2011, I graduated from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dental Hygiene. I have been working in the dental field for over a decade and started working with Dr. Petty in January 2022. I am also certified to administer nitrous oxide and local anesthesia. As a dental hygienist, building relationships with each of my patients is just as important as keeping their smiles healthy and beautiful. I strive to make each dental visit a positive and comfortable experience, no matter what the patient’s needs may be. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, biking, kayaking, and doing all things outdoors with my husband, Matt, and our three children, Rhodes, Max, and Lucy.
Hello! I’m Logan from Manchester, TN and a dental hygiene graduate from Remington College. I am passionate about dental hygiene because I love having a positive impact on my patient's lives and helping them maintain a healthy & beautiful smile for a lifetime. I love getting the opportunity to have relationships built on trust with my patients, from dental hygiene education to impactful life chats. I love Jesus, spending time with my family and friends, the beach and anything outdoors. In my spare time you can find me at the lake with my husband, Chad, and our three dogs- Annie, Bella & Hank- and of course our families. Use your smile to change the world!
Hi! I am Shelby. After graduating from high school in Manchester, I played softball on a scholarship at Motlow State Community College. I went on to Remington College in Nashville, where I received my degree in dental hygiene. I have been working in the dental field for over a decade and have been with Petty Dental since 2015. I am certified in nitrous oxide and local anesthesia. I love the relationships I build with my patients and getting to care for their oral health. I have also enjoyed working at our local free dental day each year. I love spending time with my family and friends, and there’s never a dull moment with my husband, who is a row crop and cattle farmer, our daughter, and our two dogs. We live on his family’s farm, and in my free time, I enjoy helping in the fields, cooking, baking, being outdoors, and spending summer weekends tractor pulling with loved ones.
My name is Maryjane, and I’ve been working with Dr. Petty since July 1996! I started in dentistry as a dental assistant and then pursued a degree in dental hygiene from the Community College of Baltimore, being a native of Maryland. I also earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Health Education from Tennessee Technological University. I have been working in the dental field since 1970 and will be celebrating 30 years with the practice in July of 2026. My experience has included private dental offices, corporate dental offices, hospital settings, and international outreach work as part of a dental team with Project Concern, including service in Grenada and Dominica. I continue to complete continuing education requirements for both Tennessee and Maryland, often exceeding the required courses. When not working with patients, I love traveling or being outdoors, whether it’s gardening, fishing, or kayaking. I am passionate about serving others in many ways, including through volunteering with Isaiah 117 House, as well as cooking, sewing, and helping others whenever needed.
Hi! I am Alysha. I grew up in Las Cruces, NM, and later attended Vista College, where I earned my dental assistant certification. I began working in the dental field in 2020 and have experience assisting in both corporate and private dental offices, as well as working as a dental lab technician. I joined Petty Dental in February 2026. I value being part of a team where coworkers feel like family and appreciate the opportunity to support patients and contribute to the flow of the office. Outside of work, I focus on health and wellness and spending time with my husband and our two young boys. In 2023, I moved to Tennessee after visiting only once!
Hi! I am Kailah. I grew up in Lacey’s Spring, AL, and have been working in the dental field for a few years. I joined Petty Dental just a few weeks ago as a patient scheduling coordinator. I value being part of a close-knit office where I can build meaningful connections with patients and contribute to an environment that feels welcoming and comfortable. Creating positive experiences and seeing familiar, smiling faces each day is something that makes my role especially rewarding. My family is the center of my life. I have been married to my husband, and together we have two wonderful boys. Away from the office, I stay active in ministry at my church, where I sing and play piano. I also spend time outdoors working in my flowerbeds, riding four-wheelers, and playing volleyball. Traveling with my family, whether to the mountains, the beach, or to watch minor league baseball, is something I truly value. One unique skill I have is typing at 220 words per minute!
