Meet Dr. George Dula

With more than 30 years of orthodontic experience, board certification, and membership in multiple professional organizations, Dr. George Dula brings world-class training, proven clinical expertise, and small-town values to the families of southern Oklahoma. Dr. Dula has spent more than three decades helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles through thoughtful, individualized orthodontic care. Known for combining advanced clinical skill with a practical, down-to-earth approach, he believes successful orthodontic treatment begins with careful diagnosis, clear communication, and a genuine relationship with each patient and family he serves.

Dr. Dula’s roots run deep in southern Oklahoma. Raised in Marietta, he graduated from Plainview High School in 1986, where he was quarterback of the football team, a two-time state finalist in the 100-meter dash, showed cattle, and was active in numerous school organizations. He is also an Eagle Scout. Those early experiences helped shape the work ethic, sense of responsibility, and love of the outdoors that continue to guide him today.

After high school, Dr. Dula attended Oklahoma State University, where he was a member of the President’s Leadership Council and the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and earned his undergraduate degree in Physiology. His interest in science and service led him to pursue dentistry at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society. He later completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where advanced specialty training refined the clinical skills and treatment philosophy that would define his career.

In 1997, Dr. Dula opened his private orthodontic practice in Frisco, Texas. Over the next 24 years, he built a reputation as a trusted, board-certified orthodontist serving families throughout North Texas. Known for both his clinical expertise and his practical, common-sense approach, he helped thousands of patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.

In 2021, Dr. Dula and his wife, Kelly, returned to Ardmore. Together they share a blended family of six adult children who now live in multiple states across the country. Outside the office, Dr. Dula enjoys spending time at the gym, staying active in the community, and anything that gets him outdoors, especially time spent working on his land.

Today, Dr. Dula is proud to bring more than three decades of orthodontic experience back to the region he has always considered home.
