Office Closure Notice: We’ll Be Back Soon
We wanted to let our patients and friends know that our offices will be closed June 2–June 8 while Dr. and Mrs. Kurti travel to California for a very special family celebration.

Their granddaughter Mila is graduating from 8th grade, and they are so proud of her. They are looking forward to celebrating this milestone with her and cheering her on as she begins her high school adventures.

Our Murphy office will reopen on Tuesday, June 9, and our Franklin office will reopen on Wednesday, June 10.

Thank you for your understanding while we take this time to celebrate with family.

Happy birthday to Carol Kurti! 💕

Carol is Dr. Kurti’s wife, a registered nurse, co-founder of Kurti Orthodontics, and truly part of the heart of this practice from the very beginning.

Through the years, Carol has been an encourager, organizer, steady presence, and helping hand in so many parts of the practice. She helped shape the caring, family-centered spirit that patients and families have felt in our offices for decades.

Carol’s fingerprints are all over the story of Kurti Orthodontics, from the early days of building the practice to the culture of care that still matters so much to us today.

Please join us in wishing Carol a wonderful birthday. We are so grateful for her life, her love, and the legacy she continues to be part of here at Kurti Orthodontics. 💙

Today we took a little time to celebrate Emily with a baby shower as she prepares to welcome her second child next month. 💕

Emily is such an important part of our Murphy office. Many of our patients know her from the front desk, but behind the scenes she also steps in chairside and helps wherever she is needed.

We are so excited for Emily and her growing family, and we are grateful we still have a few more weeks with her before she begins maternity leave. Please join us in wishing her a peaceful final stretch and a sweet welcome for this new little one!

With love from all of us at Kurti Orthodontics 💗

We’re continuing the celebration for Debbie Farmer and her 20 years with Kurti Orthodontics!

Debbie officially joined the practice on May 1, 2006, bringing years of experience as a cosmetologist and a lifelong interest in dental assisting. She laughs now about how much there was to learn in those early days: teeth numbers, brackets, wires, instruments, and all the little details that make orthodontics work.

That perspective is part of what makes Debbie such a gift to our team. She remembers what it feels like to be new, and she has helped train and encourage many of the newer assistants along the way.

Over the years, Debbie has seen a lot change, from traditional impressions to digital scanning, but she says the heart of the work has stayed the same: caring for patients, working carefully, and getting to see each smile come together.

One thing Debbie said in her interview really stuck with us: “Beautiful smiles come out of this office.”

They sure do, and Debbie has been part of so many of them.

Debbie, thank you for 20 years of steady hands, patient care, practical wisdom, and loyalty to this practice. We are so grateful for you!

Twenty years of dedication and commitment, Debbie is a true asset. Wishing you a happy work anniversary.
