For over a decade, The Dental Retreat has been a place where thoughtful care and lasting relationships go hand in hand. Patients have come to trust the practice for its expertise and the welcoming environment it creates. Now, as the new owners of The Dental Retreat, Dr. William Boyd and his family are bringing fresh perspectives and youthful energy while continuing to honor the tradition of care that has defined the practice for years.

The Dental Retreat’s name, thoughtfully chosen by Dr. Jon Julian when he founded the practice in 2011, reflects his vision of creating a place where patients feel truly cared for—a vision Dr. Boyd is honored to carry forward as he takes on the leadership of the practice. Since their first visit, Dr. Julian and his wife Karen have warmly welcomed the Boyd family, making them feel at home and affirming their decision to join such a close-knit community. Dr. Boyd and Dr. Julian have truly enjoyed working side by side, blending their shared dedication to exceptional care. Dr. Julian will continue to be an integral part of the team, providing the personalized and compassionate service that patients have cherished for years. Together with the incredible staff, they are preserving the heart of The Dental Retreat while embracing its bright future.

For the Boyds, the move from Arizona to South Carolina was about more than a change of scenery—it was a chance to embrace a slower pace and be closer to family on Lake Keowee. They have cherished the opportunity to spend quality time together, creating new memories and soaking in the beauty of the area. Their days are filled with simple joys: their daughter learning to ride her bike, her younger brother eagerly following her lead, and the family exploring all the region has to offer. These moments have made settling into Greenville even more meaningful.

Dr. William Boyd brings over a decade of experience in dentistry and a genuine passion for helping others. For him, dentistry isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about listening, building trust, and improving lives. Lauren, with her extensive background managing her own business, has joined the practice as office manager, ensuring that the patient experience remains at the heart of everything they do. Their two children, along with their 8-year-old rescue dog Lilly, have quickly embraced their new home, welcomed warmly by neighbors and community alike.

Today, The Dental Retreat continues to offer a comprehensive range of dental services, from preventive cleanings and restorative treatments to implant dentistry and clear aligners. Backed by a dedicated team of professionals, every patient can expect personalized care tailored to their unique needs. The Boyds are also committed to becoming an active part of the Travelers Rest community, building meaningful relationships through local events and initiatives that bring families together and strengthen connections.
