Dr. Briggs, DDS is an experienced endodontist dedicated to providing precise, compassionate care focused on helping patients preserve their natural teeth. She earned her dental degree from West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 2006 and completed her endodontic residency at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 2008. She was also inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society, recognizing dental students who demonstrate academic achievement, ethical character, professional potential, and leadership.

Dr. Briggs chose endodontics after discovering during dental school that she genuinely enjoyed endodontic treatment. Encouragement from her endodontics department chair, who recognized her talent in the specialty, further inspired her to pursue advanced training. She particularly enjoys challenging cases, including root canal retreatments, locating missed canals, navigating difficult curves, and treating highly calcified teeth. She finds great satisfaction in giving patients the opportunity to save their natural teeth whenever possible.

Patient comfort and trust are central to Dr. Briggs’ approach to endodontic care. She believes every patient deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and attention to their individual concerns. Her philosophy is simple: she treats every patient as she would a member of her own family, prioritizing comfort, careful treatment, and what is in the patient’s best interest. As she puts it, “I do my best to make sure my patients are heard, understood and as comfortable as possible, before, during and after providing endodontic care.”

Originally from West Virginia, Dr. Briggs was raised in a small town in the northern part of the state near the Ohio and Pennsylvania borders. Outside of dentistry, she enjoys spending time with her family, baking decorated royal icing sugar cookies, and making sourdough bread. She is also a proud pet owner to Saggy, her three-year-old English bulldog, and Lola, her 18-year-old Quaker parrot. Saggy has a special family connection, as she was named after her late father’s favorite thoroughbred horse, Saggy’s Boy, which he rode during his career as a jockey.
