About Us
Meet Dr. Ponnie D. Poisal
As the owner of Loganville Family Dentistry, established in 1995, Dr. Ponnie is thrilled to practice on the very land of her great-grandparents’ home place. When creating the practice of her dreams, she ensured its foundation was – and will always continue to be – warmth, a welcoming inviting atmosphere, compassionate, and professional with a family orientation. Along with her team, every day Dr. Ponnie uses the WIDIOM rule … Would I do it on me? You are in good hands at Loganville Family Dentistry!
Education
Dr. Ponnie received her bachelor’s degree form the University of Georgia and then in 1994, she achieved her Doctor of Dental Medicine from The Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry. A firm believer in lifetime learning, Dr. Ponnie and her team are committed to regularly attending courses, workshops, conferences, and lectures to increase their knowledge and skills so that you will directly benefit from the most up-to-date dental care. It was a true honor when she received the 5-Star Dentist award and was designated Loganville’s Best for 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Family Life
Dr. Ponnie is married to David. They have two adult children – Priscilla (a teacher) and Zachary (in college learning to be a teacher) – and are the proud grandparents of Gloriana. When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Ponnie likes to read, sew, swim, work in the yard, exercise, and spend time with family. Whenever they can, pooches Ben and Mick (a standard poodle and a labradoodle) like to tag along for the ride!
Volunteer Work
Because there’s always time for more … Dr. Ponnie is a volunteer adjunct professor at the Dental College of Georgia in Agusta. She also gives her time to the FISH Dental Clinic, Georgia Mission of Mercy, and Special Olympics to provide dental care to those in need. Also, the Loganville Family Dentistry team volunteers at the Brighter Smiles for a Brighter Future fund raiser for the Gwinnett Hospital System Foundation.
