Dr. W. Palmer Westmoreland is originally from LaGrange, Georgia but has lived in Augusta for over 20 years. He was encouraged by his father to build a future using his hands and after shadowing a dentist he found his calling. Dr. Westmoreland received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia before attending the Medical College of Georgia (now the Dental College of Georgia) to complete his DMD in 2003. Dr. Westmoreland and his wife found the big city/small town feel of Augusta to be a good fit for their family so he established his dental career here. In 2018, his office moved into their newly completed building; the practice was rebranded as Westmoreland Family Dentistry to better reflect the population he serves, families.

What he enjoys most about dentistry is helping patients achieve the smiles they have always wanted, particularly through fashioning crowns, and helping patients who are in pain. Dr. Westmoreland and his family are involved in their local church. He has been part of a volunteer team of dentists, treating patients in Peru, Ecuador and Trinidad, just to name a few. When not busy at work, he enjoys spending time with his three very active boys and his one very active dog.
