Dr. Greg Ayers, Clinical Director co-founder of ProGrin Dental.

He was born in Indiana and married his sweet southern belle. He’s been a true southerner ever since. He has four grown boys and one granddaughter. They enjoy spending time fishing, playing golf, chilling with the family on the lake.

Dr. Ayers began his practice in 1983 in Greenville. He was a graduate and teaching mentor at the NASH institute for cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Additionally, he co-authored the book called The Service Prescription, and he enjoys sharing his passion for delivering service excellence.

He has lectured on the magic of service excellence across the country. He loves getting his team involved in community events around the upstate and giving back to the community. For example, Dr. Ayers hosts a Leadership forum every year called Live 2 Lead with the John Maxwell company.

His passion is to be more than just a dentist. His passion is to develop tomorrow’s leaders in the community, and his employees — one smile at a time. (One of Dr. Ayers’ favorite sayings because he loves to smile himself).
