Contact: (877) 532-2123 www.kettenbach-dental.us Webshop: www.kettenbachusa.com About Dr. Delaney Spaulding: Dr. Delaney Spaulding is the proud owner of Ross Bridge Dentistry. She started her career in dentistry at the age of 15 working alongside her mother in a Fee for Service practice. After graduating from the University of Georgia with a Biology degree, she moved up north to attend the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University. Upon completion of dental school, she moved down to Alabama to put down some roots. Navigating the job market as a new grad associate was complicated enough without uncertainty caused by the COVID pandemic and the impact it had on dental offices across the world. While the dust was settling in the summer of 2020, she decided to take the leap and purchase an entirely PPO driven practice. Over the course of the next two years, she has transformed a small neighborhood practice with patients deeply tied to their insurance benefits into the Fee for Service office of her dreams.
