In addition to serving on the Board of Dentistry, Dr. Stiehl is also a board examiner for the Central Regional Dental Testing Service. CRDTS is a testing service made up of State Boards of Dentistry who have joined forces to develop and administer fair, valid, and reliable examinations of competency to practice dentistry and dental hygiene.

Continuing education is important to Dr. Stiehl. He has received a Fellowship Degree from the Academy of General Dentistry. His areas of focus are occlusion (the way teeth fit together), Cosmetic dentistry, and oral sedation.

Dr. Stiehl lives in Newnan with his wife Dawn and son Blake. He is a local boy who remains active in the community. In his spare time, Dr. Stiehl enjoys being outdoors driving his tractor, and spending time with his family. As an avid sportsman, he’ll bend your ear with tales of “the one that got away” and hunting stories about bird dogs. Mention turkey hunting or Montana and it may take a while before you can get away.
