About Us
Our Mission
O2 Dental Group exists to make great dental care easy to get — for every age, every background, and every budget. We keep extended weekday and weekend hours so you don’t have to choose between your teeth and your job, your kids’ school day, or your life.
Just as important is how care feels here. We treat every patient with respect and dignity, and we work hard to keep our offices judgment-free, whether it’s been six months or six years since your last visit. Ask questions, tell us what’s worrying you, and be part of the plan — that’s how we like to work. Our offices are modern and built around one thing: comfortable, efficient, personalized care.
Our Values
Everything our team does comes back to five commitments:
- Real customer service — you’re a person, not an appointment slot
- Excellence in dentistry — done right, explained clearly
- Honest communication — straight answers about what you need and what it costs
- Always learning — ongoing education so our care keeps getting better
- A genuinely good environment — for our patients and our team
We invest in our people, too. We encourage our doctors and staff to pursue continuing education so they can lead, advocate for oral health in their communities, and grow their careers with us.
Our Why
The idea for O2 started during residency, when Dr. Olu began working at a range of dental offices around the area. He kept seeing the same gap: patients weren’t being served well on technology, convenience, or affordability. Even the budget-friendly practices too often meant outdated equipment, limited services, and care that felt rushed or impersonal.
He brought it to Dr. Lydia, and together they asked a simple question — what would it take to do this better, for patients and for the dental professionals serving them? O2 is their answer: a group of talented, passionate people from all kinds of backgrounds, delivering high-quality care in a modern, welcoming setting, for the good of oral health across North Carolina.
Our Vision
We both grew up in working-class families, with parents who couldn’t always afford dental care or find the time to get their kids to the dentist. We never forgot that. From day one, we knew O2 would offer convenience and affordability — because that is what all patients deserve.
Our Future
Our goal is to bring high-quality, affordable, convenient dentistry to as many North Carolina communities as we can. What won’t change is the daily work of giving our patients the best experience we can, with a team that lives our values and believes in why we’re here.
Our Co-Founders
O2 Dental Group was founded by Dr. Olu Oyegunwa and Dr. Lydia Oyegunwa — husband and wife, and partners in building this practice from the ground up.
Introduced by Dr. Olu’s brother, Bola, the two first met on Franklin Street at UNC-Chapel Hill in 2008. They bonded over a shared passion for dentistry and a heart for service, and married in 2014. After Dr. Lydia finished dental school, they decided to build something of their own — and in 2018, they opened the first O2 Dental Group in Wilmington, NC.
Six locations later, the mission they started with is still the one driving everything we do.
