Meet Dr. Watt
DDS
Dr. William Watt
Dr. William Watt was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where he spent most of his time with his two siblings on the soccer field and playing in the woods. After high school, he attended the University of Evansville in Southern Indiana, where he studied graphic design. During this time, he became aware of the world of dentistry and was intrigued by the “little art projects in people's mouths.” Realizing that dentistry was a combination of science, biology, art and personal interactions, he launched himself at the opportunity to study a profession that combined so many of his interests.
More About Dr. Watt
He attended the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, the top-rated dental program in the country, and then began his dental career with the United States Navy. Dr. Watt served at Camp Lejeune for four years, completing an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency, where he was able to learn from expert dental specialists to enhance the care to his patients. During the four years of treating Marines and Sailors, Dr. Watt fell in love with North Carolina and decided to stay in the Wilmington area.
Dedicated to all aspects of oral health, Dr. Watt especially values his time spent with patients. It is his goal to initiate conversations about dental health that make patients feel comfortable, allowing them to guide their own treatment with confidence. It is Dr. Watt's passion to combine art, science and experience to provide high-quality, aesthetic dental work that lasts.
In his spare time, Dr. Watt enjoys being outside. Surfing is his life outside of work. But he also enjoys seeing live music, playing pickleball and tennis, biking, and traveling. On quieter nights or rainy days, he enjoys watching a movie, housework and art projects.
Outside the Office
From Graphic Design to the Carolina Coast
Dr. Watt originally studied graphic design before discovering dentistry's blend of science, biology, and art — a combination that still shapes how he approaches every smile.
After four years treating Marines and Sailors at Camp Lejeune, he fell in love with the North Carolina coast and made Wilmington home. When he's not at the practice, you'll likely find him surfing, on the pickleball court, or catching live music.
