Our Team Is The Heart of Smoky Mountain Dentistry

Dr. Elizabeth Ferguson was born and raised in Waynesville. She graduated from Tuscola High School. She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she excelled in Art and Biology. After graduating with a degree in Biology, she worked at Duke University in genetic research before entering Dental School at UNC. While at UNC, Dr. Ferguson gained experience in all aspects of dentistry but excelled in cosmetic dentistry and prosthodontics.

While pursuing her dental degree at UNC, she met her future husband, Dr. Jed Lambert. They moved back to Waynesville and joined the practice of Dr. Milas Ferguson, making Smoky Mountain Dentistry a family affair.

Dr. Elizabeth Ferguson enjoys the outdoors, hiking and traveling. Her free time is spent on ‘Fergerbert Farm’, where she and her husband care for their collection of animals; 6 alpaca, 1 llama, 5 goats, 1 cow, 2 dogs and 2 cats! She too, like the rest of her family, is a huge Tar Heel fan!

While at UNC, Dr. Lambert gained experience in all aspects of dentistry, but excelled in prosthodontics and implant dentistry. He completes over 40 hours of continuing education annually, specifically in the areas of Implant Dentistry and CAD CAM Dentistry (same day crowns). Dr. Lambert is currently an adjunct faculty at the East Carolina School of Dentistry. He is a member of the Western North Carolina Dental Society, the First District Dental Society, the North Carolina Dental Society, and the American Dental Association.

Dr. Lambert enjoys the outdoors and along with Elizabeth, likes to spend time hiking and traveling. In his free time, you can find Jed on ‘Fergerbert Farm’ taking care of his many animals.

Her commitment to high-quality dentistry was evident when she received The Clinical Excellence Award in her graduating dental school class. This dedication to her craft stems from early experience in high school. Her interest in dentistry began with the completion of a dental assisting program at a vocational high school, where she was exposed to patient care, sparking her desire to make a difference in others’ lives through improved oral health. Patient-centered care has since been a hallmark in her clinical practice.

Dr. Jackie has crafted a professional career that inspires others. Dr. Jackie practices dentistry with heart, developing meaningful relationships with patients to personalize their care. Dr. Jackie is energized by the restorative aspects of dentistry and the puzzle solving aspects that exist with each case, bringing innovative solutions.

When she’s not practicing dentistry, Dr. Jackie prioritizes quality time with her family, immersing herself in nature, and looking for new adventures. Alongside her husband and energetic three-year-old daughter, she delights in North Carolina’s scenic hiking trails and uncovering new experiences together.

Jordan started her dental education with dental assistant as well and loves it so much she returned to AB Tech and continued her studies in dental hygiene. When Jordan isn’t behind the chair taking care of our patients smiles you can find her hanging with her family, camping at the lake, singing in her church’s worship band, or hanging outside.

Bio Coming Soon!

Dr. Ferguson misses his patients and friends, but his granddaughters and fishing are keeping him busy and out of trouble.

I spend my time painting furniture, cleaning (there isn’t a surface in our home that has not been touched), working in our yard, cooking (which I have become quite accomplished at), and I’m learning how to sit down with Jeff and our sweet puppy Eleigh, and simply BE!

All in all, I’m just trying to keep my hands so busy that my heart will not hurt as bad!

P.S. I forgot to mention I’m also devoting one day a week to my little antique booth at Maddie’s on Main.
