Dr. Julia Vance, DDS

Meet Dr. Julia Vance, DDS

Dr. Julia Vance became fascinated with the field of dentistry after undergoing orthodontic treatment at just 13 years old. Growing up in Upstate New York, she volunteered in local dental offices through high school and undergrad. She developed a love for the field's unique blend of medicine, art, and attention to detail. She attended Rochester Institute of Technology and earned a bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences with highest honors. She was fortunate to have been accepted into several dental schools and chose to attend her state school, University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Here, Dr. Vance's passion for dentistry truly flourished. She had the opportunity to participate in several outreach groups, where she provided free dental care in upstate New York, as well as other rural areas of the country through Remote Area Medical. Upon graduating Cum Laude, Dr. Vance was honored to receive the Academy of General Dentistry Award which recognizes a student with exceptional clinical experience and knowledge in all aspects of general dentistry.

Dr. Vance moved to Greenville following her family, having fallen in love with this beautiful and upcoming area. She worked in group practice for 2 years, during which time she had the opportunity to continue her education through courses in Invisalign, endodontics, laser therapy, oral surgery, and restorative dentistry. Dr. Vance met Dr. Hapney through the Dawson Study Club, and jumped at the opportunity to join the practice as her associate. She shares Dr. Hapney's vision for providing beautiful and functional dentistry at the highest standard. She is excited to be a part of the team at Five Forks Dental Care and looks forward to providing compassionate life-long care to her patients. Dr. Vance enjoys all aspects of dentistry, especially endodontics and cosmetic procedures. She is passionate about building relationships with her patients, educating them to make informed decisions about their oral health, and always aspires to provide a comfortable and gentle experience.

She and her husband, Stephen, a native of the area, reside in Simpsonville with their 3 cats, Willow, Meadow, and Oliver. In their free time you can find them at home cooking and gardening, exploring Greenville's newest places or spending time with their church small group. You can also spot them at Clemson games cheering on the Tigers in the fall with their friends and family!

  • 5.0 star rating Continued Awesomeness! Five Forks Dental continues their stellar service! I've now had more than a couple of visits to Dr. Hapney at Five Forks Dental Care, and let me just say... I'm still very pleased. If you're wondering why I've had to go a few times, it's due to the prior "dental professionals" that I've dealt with. Dr. Hapney is correcting some of their "work," to put it nicely. She shows me why particular procedures are necessary, and explains them to me. She doesn't just tell me and then do it. I'm very interactive in my treatment, which I appreciate. And even though I know she's very busy, she takes an extra moment when I have a question so that she can thoroughly answer it, and addresses any of my concerns. I truly appreciate her patience and kindness. I wasn't sure that places (or people, for that matter) like this existed anymore, but I suppose this is my dental unicorn! Seriously, you should go check it out for yourself. You may find that you yourself want to write a great review about your new dentist at Five Forks.
