Dr. Aja Nichols established Lifestyle Dentistry in 2016, where she embarked on the idea to practice dentistry a little differently than it has been done traditionally. She is continuously creating a spa-like atmosphere and a team who consistently delivers five-star experiences.

Before opening Lifestyle Dentistry, Dr. Nichols began her journey at Kentucky State University, where she majored in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry.

After receiving her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Indiana University School of Dentistry, Dr. Nichols served as an active duty officer in the U.S. Navy and worked alongside the U.S. Marine Corp for seven of her eight years. She enjoyed the broad experience she obtained in the military and is proud to be among the few who have served our nation. After she completed her time with the Navy, she relocated to Atlanta, GA and has enjoyed every minute of it.

Dr. Nichols has been featured multiple times as one of Atlanta’s Top Dentists, and in the Atlanta-based “People You Need To Know” Magazine.

When asked what a patient could expect at Lifestyle Dentistry, Dr. Nichols responds: “imagine going to your favorite hangout spot with good friends, we’ll just happen to check out your teeth, too.”
