Achieving treatment excellence is my goal for every member of this great community, which my family and I are proud to call home.”
Waugh earned his Doctorate and Masters degrees in Oral Biology from the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry. Later, he received his Certificate in Orthodontics and Masters degree in Oral Biology from Baylor College of Dentistry.

Patient Reviews
“Absolutely love Smile Doctors. There is no other Dr. Waugh period! The pioneer of orthodontics in Athens, GA and still the best in Bussiness. I am a dentist myself and make sure I m getting the best possible dental care when it comes to myself and my family. I made the best decision when I chose them for my orthodontic needs two years ago. Today my braces came off and I m ecstatic about my results and my smile. I can’t stop smiling. The dental assistants, the hygienist and front desk staff are extremely helpful and polite and very professional. Now my daughter starts her treatment here. Highly recommended!”
“Awesome office! Amazing experience!”
“Wonderful! Most caring orthodontist. He listened to all my problems and requests. He is extremely intelligent. The rest of his staff are just as wonderful! Best experience! I 100% recommend this practice.”
“I have had such an amazing experience here! Everyone has been soo wonderful and helpful. They explain in detail anything they do and answer all of my questions. I highly recommend them!”
“We are really happy with our experience with Dr. Waugh and the staff at Smile Doctors. An appointment ran (much) longer than expected as a new appliance didn’t fit as expected for my daughter, and they were really apologetic and even sent us off with a gift card. They went the extra mile to let us know that they cared about our time and orthodontic care. We believe it speaks volumes and we are grateful for a practice that cares.”
