Anne-Ashley Compton, DDS, MS
Precision, Patience, and the Art of Making Kids Comfortable
Dr. Ashley has wanted to care for children for as long as she can remember. Born and raised in Southern Virginia, she completed her undergraduate degree at North Carolina State University and went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
She then moved to Chicago to complete a two-year specialty residency program in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she also earned a Master's degree in Oral Sciences.
Dr. Ashley really enjoys being able to create a positive, comfortable experience for each child in need. Helping them think of the dentist's office as a fun place is a great feeling! She also enjoys volunteering to provide oral care to kids in underserved areas and countries around the world. In her spare time, Dr. Ashley enjoys traveling and spending quality time with friends and family. She's also an avid sports fan!
“When a child leaves my chair smiling, not just because we are done, but because it really was not bad at all, that is the moment I live for. That is what this career is about.”
