Our Team

Dr. Aiken is a native of North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. Dr. Aiken practice in Rockingham, North Carolina, with his father until the senior Dr. Aiken retired. Dr. Aiken moved to the beach four or so years ago and came on board with Dr. Jones and Dr. Munson. Dr. Aiken loves to spend time with his wife, son and family when he is not working hard here at the office. Our favorite thing about Dr. Aiken is that he plays guitar, and if you are lucky enough to have a late Thursday afternoon appointment, you may have the pleasure of hearing him play his guitar for the staff at the end of the day.

Dr. Jones, or “George” as he is known to most of his patients, friends and family, completed his training at the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2003. He graduated at the top of his class and served as class president during his junior and senior years. After graduating, Dr. Jones immersed himself in his new career and tried to learn everything he could about the latest techniques and materials.

In fact, he completed over 220 hours of continuing education last year alone (over 10 times North Carolina’s state licensing requirement). Dr. Jones is a fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (the largest dental implant organization in the world), a diplomate of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy, and a member of both the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and the Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Jones has a passion for dentistry and continuously seeks out the latest techniques and procedures.

As he has become recognized as a clinician who is familiar with the latest in technology and materials, Dr. Jones has recently become a product evaluator and consultant to several dental manufacturers.

On a personal note, Dr. Jones was raised in Wheeling, West Virginia, and graduated from Wheeling Jesuit College with a bachelor’s in chemistry. After graduating, he relocated to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he met his wife, Holli, a Wilmington native.

After working in pharmaceutical and medical equipment sales for nine years, he was hired as a regional sales manager for a dental manufacturer. After three years of spending 30 to 40 hours a week in dental offices, he knew he had found his true calling. With his wife’s support, he quit his job, sold their house and enrolled in dental school. They decided to relocate back to North Carolina to be closer to both their families.

When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Jones is busy raising three daughters, two dogs, a cat, a guinea pig and a lizard. As time permits, he enjoys fishing, traveling and photography.

After graduation from dental school in 2003, Dr. Munson was stationed at Great Lakes, Illinois, before being transferred to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Dr. Munson deployed to Al Asad, Iraq, in February of 2005, where she oversaw the dental clinic. Her duties also included dental care for all military, contractors and third-country nationals. Dr. Munson gained valuable knowledge while in the military. Afterwards, Dr. Munson worked in group practices and private practice while in North Carolina. She moves to New Orleans in 2015 but returned to North Carolina in 2017. When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Munson enjoys spending time with her family at the beach, riding bicycles, or enjoying a great book.
