Originally from western Pennsylvania, Dr. Halle attended Washington and Jefferson College before receiving her doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Halle then had the honor of serving veterans during a residency at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System.
As a lifelong learner, Dr. Halle places great value on continuing education and regularly attends new courses and seminars.

After struggling with tethered oral tissues (TOTs) and airway issues with her own children, Dr. Halle sought out training and completed certifications in laser tongue tie and lip tie releases and airway centered orthodontics. She enjoys working together with local lactation consultants, chiropractors, cranial-sacral therapists, myofunctional and speech and language therapists to help children and their parents eat, talk and sleep better.
Dr. Halle also loves using her dental skills to help others and has gone on mission trips and volunteered with organizations like Mission of Mercy (MOM).

“I believe that an informed patient is an empowered patient. My goal is to ensure that every person who sits in my chair understands their treatment completely—from the ‘why’ behind my recommendations to every step of the procedure. When patients truly understand their care, they feel confident and comfortable, which leads to the best possible outcomes.”
