The first reason why I choose dentistry as my profession is because I wanted to make a difference in my patients' lives. I wanted to improve their smiles, their overall health and make them confident in their smile. Also dentistry, it's awesome profession. It offers a lot of satisfaction, not only to me, but also to our patients. The most rewarding part was pretty much seeing the patient's face. After the first appointment, after we change their smiles, when you see the look on their face, they are so happy. I guess, overwhelmed with the services that we offered. And it's also that feeling of satisfaction for me as a dentist and for them as a patient. I was born and raised in Romania, a small country on the Eastern Europe. While there, I've finished my dental training. I finish my dental education there. As I moved here, I had to start all over again. So I went to University of Pennsylvania, where I finished with the DMD degree.
Dr. Flavia Popescu, a native of Romania, became a dentist because she saw an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of her patients by taking care of their dental needs and helping them live a healthier life. She earned her Doctor of Dental Science degree in 2004 at University in Cluj Romania. Soon after graduation, she began her career as a full-time dentist at the county hospital in Cluj.
After meeting her future husband, a native of Atlanta, during a summer work abroad program, she immigrated to the United States. She was admitted to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 2007 and earned a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2009. Shortly after graduating, she and her husband moved back to North Georgia.
During her career, Dr. Popescu earned awards including the Achievement Award in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Excellence in Prosthodontics Award, and Prize in Radiology Award. Patients love that she makes their dental health her top priority and that care is given in a gentle and caring way. In fact, that’s Dr. Popescu’s favorite part of her job. She loves helping eliminate the pain of her patients and helping them reverse dental disease. She loves to create beautiful smiles.
Dr. Popescu loves her job as a dentist and feels blessed to be able to do this every day. She especially enjoys meeting new people and wants to make a difference in the lives of her patients. One of the ways she does that is by volunteering her time and skills to the MLK Free Dental Day every year.
She is board certified to offer Botox®, dermal fillers, and esthetic treatment options.
