Dr. Ann Bynum

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist

2026 Kumar Patel Prize Recipient

Dr. Ann received the Kumar Patel Prize in Laser Surgery from the American Laser Study Club (ALSC) in 2026, honoring her exceptional contributions to education in pediatric dental laser surgery.

Education and Expertise

Now a familiar face in the greater Greenville area, Dr. Ann Bynum first moved to Simpsonville and opened Holly Tree Pediatric Dentistry in 1997. Originally from Ocala, Florida, Dr. Ann completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology at Florida State University. Attending the University of Iowa, she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and met her husband, Dr. Matt Bynum. She completed two further years of training in pediatric dentistry at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, and is a Board Certified Pediatric Dentist.

Dr. Ann is passionate about pediatric dental care. Drawn to pediatrics in large part because of the unique educational opportunities the field affords, Dr. Ann sees her office as both a clinic and a classroom. She considers every visit, no matter how routine, an opportunity to teach and motivate her patients.

Home Life

When not in the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Matt, and their three boys: Matthew, Luke, and John. She loves cozying up with a good book and hot coffee, traveling to new destinations, and biohacking to optimize her health.

Fun Fact: Dr. Ann was a terrible dental patient as a child, but she loved her hygienist. She helped her with her many science fair projects on teeth and inspired her to become a dentist.
