John D. Massey, DMD

Chief Dentist

Dr. John Massey founded Augusta SmileCare in 2004 after completing dental school and General Practice Residency for advanced dental training at the Medical University of South Carolina. As his practice grew, he developed interests in dental implants and sedation dentistry as well as a keen interest in more complicated and comprehensive cases.

In short, he enjoys the inner workings of how teeth, muscles and joints work together, as well as impacting patients lives by transforming their smiles and improving their oral health. He has continued his education by studying under the Dawson Academy, Spear Education and the Misch Institute for Dental Implants.

From Dr. Massey:

“Welcome! I am so thankful that you’ve come to our practice! I began Augusta SmileCare in 2004 with the vision of caring for my patients for life. Relationships matter and general dentistry is a wonderful vehicle to enjoy the privilege of seeing patients for years, developing a unique rapport with them, and to care for their dental needs.

I want your experience here to be one where you feel truly cared for, thus the name ‘SmileCare’. My philosophy of practice is rooted in my belief that all people are created in the image of God and therefore have inherent value. My desire is to treat the whole person, as my team and I work to restore smiles to be beautiful, the way they were designed to be.

Outside of work, I am blessed to be married to my beautiful wife, Jen, and am ‘Dad’ to Mary Rushton, Jack, Luke and Nathan. Yes, we are busy but they truly give me a lot of joy! I look forward to getting to know you as a patient and a friend! ”
