The artistry of dentistry is a constant source of fascination and satisfaction for Dr. Johnson. "In a lot of areas of medicine there is a disconnect – you can’t see hypertension, for example," she said. "In dentistry, there is a direct tie between what the patient knows and how the patient feels. If their tooth hurts, I can make it better. If their tooth is chipped, I can make it pretty. There’s a real chance to talk to people in concrete terms about what it is that makes them happy — and then deliver in concrete terms. There is always a way to improve your smile and when you are happy with your smile, it changes your whole life."

A graduate of North Farmington High School, Dr. Johnson received her BS in Chemistry with a Molecular Biology focus from Florida A&M University and her DDS from Howard University in Washington, D.C. She completed a two-year General Practice Residency working with an under-served population at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in New York City, which inspired her ongoing lessons in Spanish.

Dr. Johnson’s practice includes all aspects of general dentistry, including implant restoration, cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign orthodontics. After most recently practicing in Woodhaven, she is enjoying getting to know Franklin. "It's such a close-knit community, and we are such a close-knit team on the staff,” she said. “We try to make it really inviting and comfortable for everyone coming in."
