Dr. Jamine Ifedi, DDS, MBA
Lead Dentist
Welcome to EMPIRE! I am Dr. Ifedi. A fun fact about me is that I am a UNC Tar Heel (UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry) and a two-time East Carolina Pirate (Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees)! I feel honored and privileged to be back in my hometown, serving our community for decades.
Outside the office, I stay engaged by mentoring youth through my non-profit, Talented Empowered Aspired Men, which focuses on improving minority male college graduation rates. I am also an active Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club and Elevation Church member. I don’t just want to be your dentist—I want to be your oral health educator and advocate. We can’t wait to meet you and help you achieve your dream smile!
Dawn Ifedi, RDH, BA
Office Manager and Registered Dental Hygienist
As a Charlotte native, Dawn has always had a special connection to this city. She pursued her undergraduate studies at UNC-Greensboro, earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Dental Hygiene degree from Guilford Technical Community College. She also spent a year in Philadelphia working with a non-profit to support youth in the community.
As a Registered Dental Hygienist, Dawn is passionate about educating patients on the importance of oral health and inspiring young adults to explore careers in the dental field. In her spare time, she wears her “Property Queen” hat as a short-term rental coach, helping homeowners turn their properties into profitable vacation rentals.
Kingsley Ifedi, CPA, MAcc
Financial Coordinator
My name is Kingsley Ifedi, and my mission at Empire Dental Group is to help you reach your optimal level of oral health. Affectionately known as “The Quarterback,” I played quarterback at North Carolina A&T University, earning my Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Master’s in Accountancy.
As a CPA with an unorthodox approach, I combine my financial expertise with strategic thinking to ensure our patients receive the best financial guidance for their dental care. I look forward to being your quarterback and leading you to victory in achieving a healthy and confident smile!
