Debra S. Zombek, D.D.S.

Dr. Zombek began her career shortly after high school in 1978. She became a Certified Dental Assistant for seven years before leaving the dental industry to raise her two children. Once they were old enough to go to school, Dr Zombek went back to college to pursue a degree in Environmental engineering. Along the way she said, “I got side-tracked with dentistry, so I never finished out the engineering.”

In 1998, she enrolled in the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Chapel Hill where she wanted a career that would allow her to work more independently, graduating May 2000 as an RDH. In August 2000, Dr. Zombek entered the school’s Doctorate of Dental Surgery program, a nontraditional student, she proudly completed the program in 2004 at the age of 43.

William Brant Arnold, D.D.S.

Dr. Arnold is a 2008 graduate of UAB School of Dentistry in Birmingham AL and spent 5 years serving in the US Air Force Dental Corps. His time in the service garnered his extensive surgical experience and included a residency gaining him outstanding training in IV & oral sedation and oral surgical procedures. Dr. Arnold has been offering IV sedation to patients since 2008 and continues to provide this beneficial service to patients of this region. Dr. Arnold travels from Sparta, NC on selected days to perform Oral Surgery & IV Sedation Dentistry at our office.

Dr. Arnold has gained skill and proficiency in sedation and oral surgery as these areas have become his most rewarding to perform. His fervor for these treatments began early in his dental school training when he went on his first of three mission trips to Peru with the Christian Medical Ministry of Alabama. Organized and supported by local churches, he and other dentists-in-training on the mission team performed hundreds of extractions for people who had little or no access to routine dental care. Dr. Arnold continues to provide volunteer services to those in need, volunteering time when available at Healing Hands in Bristol, TN.
