Dr. Depp was born in Lakeland, Florida and developed a surprising interest in dentistry at the age of five. Her delight in driving two hours to Jacksonville every six months for her check-up’s led to a life-long interest in helping people achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. As a PK (preacher’s kid), she moved around as a child, eventually landing in Owensboro, KY where she spent most of her youth. She attended undergrad at Georgetown College, where she met her future husband, Rob. She attended the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. Dr. Depp graduated in the top 10% of her class in 1993. Her early commitment to dental health came to life in her founding of the Delta Dental Oral Cancer Screening Program at the Kentucky State Fair, which currently screens thousands of fair-goers for this serious disease. This program has been in existence for 25 years now and is a legacy she is very proud of. She continued her education with a general practice residency at the University of Kentucky Medical Center where she cared for emergency and indigent patients across Central and Eastern Kentucky. Dr. Depp moved to Northern Kentucky in 1994 to join a practice as an associate dentist where she developed an affinity for the Greater Cincinnati area. She started her own practice in 2001 to provide her patients with the dual benefit of general dentistry for healthy smiles as well as aesthetic dentistry to provide cutting-edge smile design. Dr. Depp is active in the state dental organization, serving as President of the Kentucky Dental Association, a past president of the Northern Kentucky Dental Association and member of the Kentucky Dental Association Executive Board. She is also a member of the AGD, the Academy of General Dentistry, and has achieved her Fellow Accreditation in 2007. She is currently working on her Masters Accreditation with the AGD.
