OUR DOCTORS
Drs. Cole and Brooke Carpenter are husband-and-wife dentists and co-founders of Driftwood Dentistry, combining their shared passion for exceptional patient care with a commitment to creating a welcoming, relationship-focused practice where every patient feels like family..
Dr. Cole Carpenter grew up in Watertown, New York, a small city just 30 minutes from the Canadian border. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from SUNY Binghamton before attending the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he discovered both his passion for dentistry and met his future wife, Dr. Brooke Carpenter.
After dental school, Dr. Cole moved to Jacksonville and spent several years practicing and refining his skills before co-founding Driftwood Dentistry. His vision was to create a practice where patients feel comfortable, valued, and genuinely cared for—a place where relationships matter as much as results.
Outside the office, Dr. Cole enjoys spending time with his wife Brooke, their daughter Callie, and their two doodles, Moose and Louie. He loves working out, spending time at the beach, and cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles and Syracuse Orange.
Dr. Brooke Carpenter is a Northeast Florida native who was raised in St. Johns County. She earned her degree in Nutrition from the University of Florida before pursuing her Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where she met her husband and future business partner, Dr. Cole Carpenter.
Following dental school, Dr. Brooke returned home to Jacksonville and gained valuable experience practicing dentistry before helping launch Driftwood Dentistry. Her goal was to create a welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable, confident, and truly cared for throughout their dental journey.
When she's not in the office, Dr. Brooke enjoys spending time with her family, cooking at home, working out, and visiting the beach. A proud Florida Gator, she loves serving the Jacksonville community through the practice she and Dr. Cole built together from the ground up.
