Dr. Andy Kragor is a Georgia native. He grew up in Fayetteville, GA. He completed four years of undergrad and received his BS at the University of Georgia, studying Biochemistry and graduating with honors. He went on to an additional four years of dental graduate education at the University of Michigan, where he graduated in the top of his class and earned his DDS. After this, he continued with three more years of advanced specialty training at the University of Michigan obtaining a MS in Orthodontics. Upon graduation, he moved to Georgia to be closer to home and start his family with his wife, Ambre.
His extensive education stems from his passions and desires to provide his patients with the highest level of excellence in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. He strives to create beautiful smiles while making sure his patients have a fun atmosphere in the process. One unique fact is he has a twin brother Dr. Chris Kragor whom is also a dental specialist — specializing in oral surgery and facial trauma. His father is a Delta pilot and mother was a microbiologist and in medical sales, but he and his brother are the first dentists in their family. In his free time, Dr. Kragor enjoys spending time with his wife Ambre, son Rhett, daughter Claire, family, and friends. He will never pass up an opportunity to go hunting or fishing. He strives to be active in his community, is faith centered, hopes to coach a baseball team soon, and loves being outdoors. He is a diehard Georgia Dawgs and Denver Broncos fan. His son Rhett and daughter Claire have no choice but to cheer these two teams too! He loves being back in Georgia and is thankful for the opportunity to practice so close to home.
