MEET DR. BAILEY

Dr. L’Tanya Bailey retired from her position of Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill-School of Dentistry in August 2005. She received her BS degree in Basic Medical Sciences from Winston-Salem State University, her DDS degree from Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville, Tennessee. She completed an MS degree in Orthodontics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

She remained on the UNC faculty for four years upon completion of her graduate residency, leaving to teach for three years at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr. Bailey returned to North Carolina in 1992, and was a full time faculty member in the Department of Orthodontics upon her return. She taught in both the graduate and undergraduate programs, while also actively participating in the intramural faculty practice.

Dr. Bailey’s research interest included Stability of Orthognathic Surgery, and she has published extensively in this area. She became the principal investigator of a National Institute of Dental Research Grant for which her department had held in this area for the past twenty-six years, at that time relinquishing her responsibilities as Graduate Program Director.

Dr. Bailey actively served on many committees within her institution, including the Search Committee for the Dean of the School of Dentistry, while also maintaining membership in numerous dental organizations. Dr. Bailey is also a graduate of the Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine course, which only accepts a select number of applicants each year. She has received several teaching awards, including the National Dental Association’s Colgate Palmolive Award for Excellence in Teaching and Research. Finally, Dr. Bailey is a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists, and most recently has been inducted into the Angle Society of Orthodontics.

She is the mother of two boys, Jordan and Jacob Jefferson, who are 15 and 14. She has recently moved to the Triad to establish a private practice limited to Orthodontics in High Point, while remaining as an adjunct faculty member at UNC. Dr. Bailey is a lifelong member of Saint Philips Moravian Church in Winston-Salem.
