Dr. Helton was raised in Greenville, South Carolina. She attended the University of South Carolina followed by the University of Kentucky where she pursued two separate B.S. degrees in Psychology and Biology.

After completing her doctorate, Dr. Helton and her family moved back to the Carolinas. She is an active member of the SCDA, NCDA, and ADA. She understands that dentistry is an ever changing and growing field, and that continuing education is an essential part of being able to provide the highest quality of care to her patients. As such, she is dedicated to life-long learning to discover the most superior dental materials, technologies, and procedures to provide her patients with their very best dental outcomes.
Dr. Helton’s goal is to supply her patients with the information needed to make informed decisions about their dental care and equip them with the tools necessary to maintain great oral health while in a comfortable, non-judgmental, and relaxing atmosphere. Her desire is to help her patients feel confident and happy with their smile.
In her spare time, Dr. Helton loves spending time with her husband and children. She enjoys baking, reading, music, going to the theater, art and traveling. She also enjoys all things Star Wars, including having epic lightsaber battles with her husband and kiddos.
