Hi! I'm Dr. Lizzie
Creating healthy smiles has always been my passion
With over a decade of advanced education, I hold both Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Oral Health.Though I originally hailed from Prattville, Alabama, my heart found its home in West Virginia when I met my husband, Dr. Matt O’Dell (O’Dell Orthodontics). He swept me off my feet and into a life full of “Wild and Wonderful” things. Since 2013, I’ve been honored to serve the children of West Virginia with compassion, creativity, and clinical excellence.A Few Fun Facts About Me
- I’m married to Dr. Matt O’Dell, and we have a sweet daughter named Emory, who is the sunshine of our lives.
- Outside of the dental world, I love to sew, ski, cook, and go on travel adventures.
- I consider myself a bit of a jetsetter–some of my favorite places I’ve traveled include Norway, Vietnam, and Chile.

Your Child Deserves the Best
At Creative Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that every child deserves exceptional care–delievered with compassion, creativity, and purpose. It’s our honor to serve this community because our children–and our families–deserve nothing but the best.Advocating for Children with Special Needs
Dr. Lizzie is especially passionate about advocating for children with special needs. One way she does this is through a partnership with Autism CARES, a program dedicated to supporting children on the autism spectrum.To better serve these amazing kids, Dr. Lizzie created a signature 6-step behavior therapy program designed to help them feel safe, supported, and successful during their dental visits.Committed to Education and Collaboration
Dr. Lizzie believes that education is empowerment. She stays on the cutting edge of pediatric dentistry so that she can provide the best possible care–and then shares what she’s learned with others. Whether it’s speaking at local dental meetings or mentoring colleagues, she is proud to be an educator and advocate for new behavior management therapies and evidence-based treatment modalities.Every child is a dreamer, a doer, and a light in the world. At Creative Pediatric Dentistry, it’s our privilege to help protect their smile, their confidence, and their future.Continuing Education
To say that Dr. Lizzie is “dedicated” to her patients is truly an understatement. Her mission is to provide not only the highest quality dental treatment but also the most positive and personalized experience for every child who visits our office.While she’s honored to be recognized nationally and proud to be a member of several respected professional organizations, her greatest reward is the trust you place in her to care for your child.
