Michaela McKenzie Obituary
Michaela will be remembered with love by her many friends in the Atlanta area, as well as numerous others around the country due to relationships established within the dentistry community. She also developed many friendships through her long time membership and participation in the Buckhead Business Association.
Many counted her as a friend due to her cheerful demeanor, and her kind and compassionate attitude toward others. Michaela knew what it meant to be a true friend and was always available to help others in times of need.
Dr. McKenzie was born in London, England on February 7, 1966 to parents, Mr. Lynton McKenzie, and Mrs. Pamela McKenzie. Michaela took great pride in the fact that her father, Lynton McKenzie was widely recognized for his work as a Master Engraver, specializing in artistic engravings on the world's most valuable firearms and other objects of great value. He was commissioned by many famous people to do unique engravings, with clients including Saudi Royalty, and the British Royal Family.
Dr. McKenzie was a life long lover of horses and enjoyed riding and horse shows. She was also active in Equestrian Rescue efforts.
Dr. McKenzie operated her dental practice, known as Dazzling Smiles, Buckhead, Atlanta, GA for many years and recently moved her practice to Roswell, GA. She was well known for her expertise in holistic, cosmetic dentistry, and attracted patients not only from GA, but other states as well. Michaela was a graduate of the University of Arizona, with a degree in Biochemistry, and earned her DDS degree at Creighton University, Omaha, NE.
A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Mansell House, 1835 Old Milton Pkwy., Alpharetta, GA on Sunday 2/12/2023.
Donations may be made to Dr. Michaela McKenzie Fund for Equestrian Rescue

My goodness, I just found out today and I am so saddened by this news. Dr McKenzie was so much more than my dentist. I always loved going to see her. We had such lively conversations and I would always leave with more knowledge.
To her family and close friends my condolences during this still difficult time of mourning. She is such a treasure!

To the Friends and Family of Dr. McKenzie,
I am so sorry and shocked to hear of her passing. I didn´t just consider her my dentist, but also a friend. She was such a nice person and went out of her way for her patients. She was so knowledgeable about natural dentistry. And those are few and far between. I drove 3 hours from South Carolina to come to see her. She will be greatly missed. I pray for her family to know the Peace of God and may He surround them with His comforting Presence.
Blessings,
Heidi Dodd

I have so many fond memories of Dr. Michaela McKenzie. Not only was she my Dentist at three of her office locations for over 13 years, she also became my friend. She always would say you are my best patient, and I always said you are my best Doctor. She had such a caring attitude towards me and my family. She even referred me to Dr. Corke in Fort Myers because she knew my son with special needs needed help with a lip-tie and tongue-tie procedure with eating problems. Dr. McKenzie literally helped my son thrive because of her recommendation. She always made her patients feel so comfortable. She provided the grounding blankets, gave foot exercise instructions to take your mind off of the numbing shot she was about to give. She let you get refreshed with ozone water and her relaxing infrared sauna after the dentist appointment. Dr. Michaela McKenzie is truly missed by so many because of the one of a kind wonderful person she is. Dr. Michaela loved plants they were her babies and I know now she is in peace walking in paradise up in heaven.
Love Always, Jacqueline McLarin

Dr. McKenzie I will always remember the years I worked with you. Us sharing lunch on the back deck of the office, you bringing me coffee and always forgetting I couldn´t have cream (lol), you bringing in beautiful pink peonies, going across the street to have wine & tapas after work- these are memories I´ll keep in my heart along with your infectious laugh. You lived life to the fullest and brought joy to those around you. Rest in heaven beautiful friend. I´ll see you when I get there. Love you Xoxo

Michaela was our neighbor and friend - she was a life force! Michaela has gone home to our Father - to the comfort of His love. She can walk in His perfect garden, lulled by heavenly music. Such a comfort to know she is at peace and at home. I miss her beautiful smile and our chats. I'm thankful to have known and loved her.

I love Dr. Mckenzie and am sad to hear this news. Once on a dental business trip very soon after my father passed I brought my mom with me. Dr. Mckenzie was there and we enjoyed the conference together that week and she met my mom. Before we left for home she brought us a both a dozen beautiful roses in condolence for my dad. It was the kindest thing she could have done. She was always like that. I will miss her smile and kindness the most. God speed till we meet again my friend.

Dr. McKenzie was a pleasure to work with and always kept me smiling. Her passion for dentistry and living a holistic lifestyle allowed her to treat and service her patients in a unique and special way. She will truly be missed.

Michaela was not a poem; she was not a book or even a movie. Michaela was an "Experience". A force of nature, like a Hurricane...and like all storms that pass, there are always Blue Skies and Rainbows that follow. She always searched for those Skies and Rainbows for herself and wanted the same for others. She was one of the finest people I have ever known, my friend and family.
May our Lord open his arms and welcome her into his kingdom. ( Because if he doesn't, he's going to get an ear-full! )
Love and Prayers Always

I will always love and cherish my memories of Dr. Michaela whom I met at my first biological dental meeting. Her smile, her laugh and her complete lack of any ego entranced me, and from that moment a great friendship was born. Michaela gave herself to anything and anyone she cared about, and we are many. This wonderful fellow human being I adore so much, opened her office early for me one morning when I´d overnighted in ATL and lost a cap on landing the night before. Michaela had me fixed and like new within a hour and refused me paying. That was only a small feature of this extraordinary woman, friend, doctor, equestrian and adventurer. You will never be forgotten, Beautiful Michaela. You live in our hearts forever. Seth and Fiona Quinto
