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 - Driftwood Dentistry

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.
