Laura Whisenhunt, lead assistant for AdVance Dental

After attending Lawson state community college and UAB dental assisting school, Laura began her dental career at the VA in oral surgery. Norwood dental clinic (our practice’s original name when it was at Carraway Hospital) was her first private practice and she has been here ever since, which as of 2017 makes fourteen years.

In 2009 she moved with the practice to our current location here at St. Vincent’s. Laura is well versed in many aspects of dental practice including assisting, lab work (having trained in a denture lab), insurance, billing, sleep apnea, and much more.

In the summer of 2017 Dr. James Gillespie sold the practice to Dr. Marc Vance, and he merged his practice in Homewood with the St. Vincent’s location. Laura looks forward to taking care of patients for many years to come.
