Dr. Katherine A. Paulett, DMD, joins practice founder Dr. Michael J. Scherb as partner at the established Jupiter, Florida dental practice.

JUPITER, Fla., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jupiter Smiles Dentistry is pleased to announce that Dr. Katherine A. Paulett, DMD, FAGD, has been named partner at the practice, joining founder Dr. Michael J. Scherb, DMD, FAGD, in leading the established Jupiter, Florida dental practice. The partnership brings together two University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry graduates with complementary areas of expertise and marks a significant milestone for the practice, which has served families in the Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast communities for over three decades.

Dr. Paulett is a graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry, where she was recognized with the Outstanding Leader Award by the American College of Dentists. She completed a General Practice Residency at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, with training focused on dental trauma, surgical techniques, and the planning and placement of dental implants. Dr. Paulett also holds certification in the administration of moderate IV sedation.

A member of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Dr. Paulett has continued to build her clinical expertise through advanced education at The Pankey Institute. She completed a four-part curriculum in comprehensive dental care, TMJ therapy, bite therapy, and advanced esthetics. Dr. Paulett received her Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2026, a distinction that requires a minimum of 500 hours of continuing education and the passing of a four-hour comprehensive written examination.

Originally from Madison, Alabama, Dr. Paulett now resides in Palm Beach Gardens with her husband, Philip, and her golden retriever puppy, Cowboy. She has become an active member of the South Florida community and the local Chamber of Commerce and shares Dr. Scherb's philosophy of delivering personalized, relationship-based dental care to every patient.

Jupiter Smiles Dentistry was established by Dr. Scherb, who has practiced in the Jupiter area since 1989. A Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, Dr. Scherb earned the distinction of Pankey Scholar in 2002, an honor that has been conferred on only a select group of clinicians worldwide. He currently serves on the faculty and board of The Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education. The partnership with Dr. Paulett represents a natural progression in the practice's growth and reflects a shared commitment to clinical excellence and long-term stability for the patients and families it serves.

"Dr. Paulett has demonstrated exceptional skill, dedication, and a genuine commitment to our patients since joining our team," said Dr. Michael J. Scherb, DMD, FAGD, founder of Jupiter Smiles Dentistry. "Naming her as partner is a reflection of the trust and respect she has earned. I am excited about the future of our practice under shared leadership."

"I am deeply grateful for this opportunity and for the mentorship Dr. Scherb has provided," said Dr. Katherine A. Paulett, DMD, partner at Jupiter Smiles Dentistry. "Jupiter Smiles Dentistry has always felt like home to me, and I look forward to continuing to grow alongside our team as we deliver the highest level of care to our patients and community."
