Creating the comfortable “at home” feeling of Petty Dental has been my job since we arrived in Tullahoma in 1984. I am Carol Petty, wife of Dr. John Petty and the mother of Dr. Jackson Petty. After spending many years both chairside as a Registered Dental Assistant and Treatment Coordinator, most of my work is behind the scenes supporting the team as we integrate new state-of-the art technologies to better serve our patients. Since I designed and contracted the construction of our office building, I continue to oversee building maintenance and decor. My interests include project management of any type; especially construction, cooking, nutrition, and alternative health. My most important focus is my family and honoring our Creator.
I am one of the voices you will hear on the phone as I work to help our patients utilize their dental insurance benefits. You will also see me chairside assisting Dr. Petty and other team members to help keep everything running smoothly and on time. I have worked with Dr. Petty for over 29 years. I grew up in Manchester but was able to attend the United States Air Force Dental Assisting Program while my husband was in the Air Force. I enjoy spending time with my family, three adult children, their spouses, and grandchildren while we share in church activities, singing, watching sports, and doing crafts.
Hey! I’m Summer and I’m originally from Winchester, TN. I’ve been in the world of dentistry for close to a decade now and I love every part of my job; from connecting with my patients to having the chance to help them feel safe and comfortable during their visits. Before joining the team, I studied at Tennessee College of Applied Technology where I received my license as a Registered Dental Assistant along with my certifications in dental radiology and nitrous oxide monitoring. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two sons, Oakley and Ozzy. I also like being on the lake, bass fishing, watching Alabama football, and seeing my kids play sports!
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 started working with Dr. Petty in January 2022. 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 patients needs may be. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and doing all things outdoors with my husband, Matt, and two boys, Rhodes and May.

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!
