S
ome might say Dr. Esther Vice-Hanson was born to be a dentist. “As my mother worked as a dental hygienist, I was sitting chair-side, nudging patients from within my mother’s womb.” Dr. ViceHanson’s mother, Dr. Dinah Vice, served as a mentor thought her life, inspiring her to graduate with honors from the UNC School of Dentistry. One of her most significant academic and clinical achievements was being nominated by faculty as an alumni member to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society. This honor was awarded to only nine graduating seniors from her class. Dr. Vice-Hanson believes dentistry is not just about dental tools or methods; it is a part of something bigger. “Dentistry offers me a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact on so many lives, to connect with others and tenderly care for them to help create and maintain a healthy, happy smile. I have always believed that a smile truly can say a thousand words.”
