Dr. James was born in Saint Lucia and grew up in South Carolina where he was an athletic and social kid. He has always been interested in art and the medical field. It wasn’t until his senior year of college studying Biology at the University of Georgia that he realized he could pair his love of art and medicine with dentistry.

After the University of Georgia, Dr. James attended medical college in Augusta, Georgia.

Having seen first hand the traditional method of doing dental implants and how long that can take, he loves that he can now help patients receive permanent teeth in 24 hours instead of waiting what may be 10+ months before getting them. You can now find Dr James at Nuvia’s Atlanta clinic, changing lives as a dental implant doctor.
