Julia Mikell, DDS, and her awesome Dental Team
Diamond Dental Studio is a cosmetic and family dental practice owned by Julia Mikell, DDS. Diamond Dental Studio opened in downtown Columbia in 1997 and moved to its current location in Forest Acres in 2003. In 2017, Dr. Mikell launched the name Diamond Dental Studio to represent the value, strength, and beauty that every tooth and every smile deserves.
During her career, Dr. Mikell has served as president of the South Carolina Dental Association, president of the Central District Dental Society, and president of the Palmetto Study Club. She also served for four years on the American Dental Association Council on Dental Practice. Dr. Mikell considers it a privilege and an honor to have been able to serve in these capacities, but her true passion is being side by side with her patients.
“Dentistry is rewarding to me both personally and professionally. My dental team makes me proud because of their commitment and care for our patients. My colleagues, and my profession as a whole, reinforce that dentistry is about a calling and commitment to serve our patients.
“My patients give me an opportunity to fulfill a purpose that I am grateful to have discovered early in my life,” she says. “Dentistry is art, science, and, most importantly, patient care. Our patients are our reason for coming to work every day. I love it.”
