and was inducted into the dental honor society, Omicron Kappa
Upsilon. Following dental school, she completed a residency in
General Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. After a year of private practice in Richmond, VA, she
returned to South Carolina, joining the team at White Knoll

Dr. Melissa Backman grew up in the Lexington area. She knew she wanted to return to her hometown to practice dentistry and in 2009 she opened White Knoll Dentistry.
Dr. Backman completed her undergraduate degree at Winthrop University and went on to receive her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. She completed a General Practice Residency after dental school at the Children�s Hospital in Oklahoma City where she received advanced training in treating children and patients with special needs.
She most enjoys working on very young patients and patients who have dental anxiety. She never wants anyone to fear or dread coming to the dentist and hopes that she can build trust with all patients, but especially patients who avoid the dentist out of fear. There is immeasurable satisfaction in turning fearful patients into committed ones with healthy teeth and gums.
Dr. Backman lives in Lexington with her husband, Dewayne, who is a Certified Public Accountant. You can often find Dewayne helping out around the office or upstairs working on tax returns.
Dr. Backman has two little ones, Daniel and Adelyn, so there is no such thing as �down time�, but she enjoys traveling with her family and capturing these memories on camera. They are excited to be a part of the White Knoll community!
