Dr. Carolyn Norton

Dr. Carolyn Norton is the creator and owner of Chrysalis Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry, a high-end dental practice in the heart of Odessa where Dr. Norton can practice the art she loves without compromising quality or time with her patients.

Dr. Norton believes that every patient can have a stunning, healthy smile that enhances their natural beauty, while prioritizing their overall health and well-being. She created this dental practice as a literal chrysalis for any patient interested in this type of transformative care, delivered with precision and passion.

chrys·a·lis, noun, pronounced /ˈkrisələs/

a transitional state, the hard protective layer encasing the caterpillar as it transforms into a butterfly

The life cycle of the butterfly is the perfect metaphor for the smile transformations we specialize in at Chrysalis Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry. Dr. Norton and her staff will guide and nurture your transformation so you can become the butterfly you were meant to be. Dr. Norton believes that the greatest gift you can give this world is to be totally, fully, and completely you. There is no greater joy to her than helping her patients do exactly that. Dentistry is personal, dentistry is transformative, and your smile is you.

Dr. Norton graduated from dental school at the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2014. She completed a general practice residency at The University of Chicago and has a bachelor's degree in neuroscience from The University of Miami. In 2022, Dr. Norton achieved the honor of Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, demonstrating her commitment to lifelong learning in dentistry.

Dr. Norton loves hot yoga, reading, and even has a book blog titled PulpFiction. She also loves the ocean and tries to touch it at least once a month. Dr. Norton has sweet girl bernedoodle named Bergie who is up-to-date on her dental cleanings and has no cavities. Other than dentistry, her favorite daily pleasure is espresso. Life is art, sunsets, and smiles.
