Dr. Maxie Combs has had a passion for dentistry since the age of four when undergoing extensive dental work due to trauma. Even at such a young age, her mother remembers her smile as being very important to her. Often embarrassed before and very proud after the work was completed, she understands the emotions that can arise from the embarrassment of an unhealthy smile.
Dr. Combs believes no one should suffer embarrassment or ridicule due to lack of dental care. She understands the fear and anxiety that can arise from dental neglect. This is why she has dedicated her career to helping people overcome and work through these anxieties.
She focuses her practice on the treatment of the entire mouth and the overall health of the patient. She is a highly trained clinician who always exceeds continuing education requirements. Her dedication to continuous learning and new advancements has allowed her to offer a wide range of services. Dr. Combs is a general dentist who provides total dental care for both the young and old.
Dr. Combs grew up in Eastern Kentucky and attended Morehead State University before going on to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry where she earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). Today she and her husband Greg of six years are very proud to call Lexington their home.
