Get to Know Dr. Melissa Warnick

Why Did You Become a Dentist?

Dr. Warnick chose to join the dental profession because she loves the overall idea of helping others maintain healthy bodies throughout life.

After growing up near Elkins, Dr. Warnick completed both her undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology and her Doctor in Dental Surgery at West Virginia University. In fact, she met her husband (Dr. Steven “Spike” Warnick) there! She also completed a General Practice Residency that focused on trauma and oral surgery. Today, she regularly pursues many hours of continuing dental education on a yearly basis in order to stay up to date with new developments in the field and provide her patients with the best care available. She is extensively trained in Invisalign, BOTOX, and Dermal Fillers. She is currently a member of the following dental organizations:

• American Dental Association
• West Virginia Dental Association
• American Academy of Facial Esthetics
