People often ask me why I became a dentist. Truthfully, it stems from a traumatic dental experience I had as a child. At just six years old, I endured a dental visit that left me terrified and feeling powerless. That moment stayed with me, but it also fueled my determination to create a better experience for others. I knew I could make dentistry different - caring, compassionate, and centered on the patient. Today, that commitment drives everything I do at Corydon Dental Wellness.
I’ve always had an insatiable desire to learn. From the very beginning of my career, I have pursued extensive continuing education courses to enhance my skills and broaden the scope of services I can provide. My certifications include SMART certification through the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), which ensures safe amalgam removal for patients seeking healthier alternatives. My approach is rooted in holistic, biocompatible dentistry. I carefully select materials and treatments that are gentle on the body, focusing on doing no harm while promoting optimal health.
At Corydon Dental Wellness, we aim to create a space where patients feel heard, respected, and cared for. Every patient’s story is unique, and we take the time to understand their individual needs, fears, and goals. Together, we navigate their journey to better health, building trust and confidence every step of the way. My goal is to help you move toward wellness, not just in your mouth, but in your overall well-being.
At Corydon Dental Wellness we will do anything to help her clients. Dr. Durbin had the privilege of sharing her story in an article published in the Journal of the Indiana Dental Association. The article illustrates the massive debt load that new dentists face and highlights the importance of financial freedom. Dr. Durbin shared her own journey to achieving financial freedom and how it has empowered her to prioritize patient care above all else. This freedom allows her to focus entirely on what matters most - your health and wellness.
Dr. Durbin has been a dentist since 1997, and has owned her practice in Corydon since 2000.
This is her story on why she chose to go into the field of dentistry.
