Dr. Justin E. Palmer

Dr. Justin E. Palmer didn't take the typical road to dentistry — which is probably why he approaches it differently than most.

He graduated cum laude from the University of Florida in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, then earned his DMD from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2014 — graduating summa cum laude and receiving the Alpha Omega Award, given to the #1 ranking student in his class of 117. He was also inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society that same year.

After dental school, Dr. Palmer entered the U.S. Air Force through the Health Professions Scholarship Program, serving as a Captain in the 1st Special Operations Dental Squadron at Hurlburt Field. In 2015, he was named Company Grade Officer of the Year — a recognition that reflects both his clinical skill and his character.

He joined Venetian Pointe Dentistry after his service, and quickly became one of the most trusted cosmetic dentists in the Dr. Phillips and Orlando area. His specialty is work that looks completely natural — porcelain veneers, crowns, and smile makeovers where the result is indistinguishable from someone's real teeth. Patients consistently describe him as meticulous, thorough, and — most importantly — honest. He's not going to recommend treatment to pad a bill. If something doesn't need to be done, he'll tell you.

Outside the office, Dr. Palmer is a Gators fan (naturally), a weekend golfer, and a father to three boys — Aiden, Reese, and Jackson. He and his wife Erin volunteer with Remote Area Medical, providing free dental care to underserved communities. It's the same kind of care he gives in the office — just without the bill.
