Chelsea Watkins, DDS
Dr. Chelsea Q. Watkins is originally from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Growing up with a lot of dental struggles of her own, she developed a passion for dentistry at a young age and upon graduating from high school, she was accepted into an accelerated seven-year dental program at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry in 2016 and her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2020.
Dr. Chelsea is constantly looking for ways to bring the latest and greatest research to her patients and has spent countless hours attending continuing education courses. She has done a lot of her continuing education with the Kois Center in Seattle, Washington and has had the opportunity to work there alongside one of her mentors for the past couple of years. She is a proud member of the American Dental Association, Michigan Dental Association, and American Academy of Facial Esthetics. Dr. Chelsea enjoys all aspects of general dentistry but has a love for complex restorative and esthetic cases.
Dr. Chelsea has a strong understanding of the oral-systemic connection and has spent time expanding that knowledge at functional and integrative medicine meetings. In addition to working as an associate dentist in Bloomfield Hills and East Tawas, Michigan - she also works for the Wellness Dentistry Network helping develop protocols and practices for dentists to implement wellness concepts into their offices.
When she isn’t thinking about teeth, Dr. Chelsea enjoys spending time outside, baking, running, and spending time with her four dogs. She has spent a lot of her free time in the past couple of years training for various marathons and even a 100-mile ultra-marathon! The loves of her life are her three French Bulldogs (Paloma, Tonic, and Rifle), her Bernedoodle (Cypress), and her two cats (Spritz and Mezcal) – who constantly keep her on her toes at home!
Dr. Chelsea’s goal is to develop exceptional relationships with her patients. She strives to make patients feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for alongside Dr. Thompson and the rest of the team at Integrative Oral Medicine.
