Gulland Orthodontics has been a fixture in Mercer County since 1990, with offices in both Hermitage and Greenville. One of the best parts of his job, according to Dr. G himself, is having the opportunity to treat successive generations of families in the community, with former patients now bringing their own children in for treatment. Many of our local dentists and physicians trust Gulland Orthodontics for their family’s orthodontic care. Dr. G often says one of the best things he does is surround himself with good people. He is very proud of the team he has assembled, not only because of their skills but also because of the kindness and compassion they bring to his practice.
He regularly attends educational seminars and training programs taught by some of the most respected names in the profession and maintains numerous active memberships, including the American Association of Orthodontists.
After decades of dedicated service, Dr. Gulland knew the time would come to pass the torch—and he wanted to ensure his patients and team would be in the best possible hands. He’s thrilled to have found the perfect person to carry on his legacy: Dr. Dana Craig, a highly skilled and genuinely caring orthodontist who shares his passion for excellent treatment and community-centered care. Together, they’ve ensured a seamless transition and a continued commitment to the values Gulland Orthodontics was built on.
Dr. G and Dr. Dana remain committed to staying at the forefront of their field, regularly attending seminars and training programs taught by the most respected names in orthodontics. They are both active members of numerous professional organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists and the Pennsylvania Dental Association.

One look at all the smiling faces in our office and you’ll understand what sets Gulland Orthodontics apart.
A farm boy at heart, Dr. Gulland grew up the oldest of three sons on the family farm outside of Titusville, PA. Along with crops and hay, he raised beef and milk cows, pigs, and chickens. He was very active in 4-H, and if you are lucky, you might hear about his prize-winning Holstein cow, “Westbridge Star Marvex Judy”!
After graduating from Maplewood High School, Dr. G attended Penn State University, earning a B.S. in biology. His drive to serve his community within the healthcare sphere spurred him to pursue a career in dentistry. After graduating third in his class at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, he gained entrance to the very competitive Medical College of Virginia where he completed his orthodontic residency.
Dr. Gulland and his wife Debbie reside in Hermitage. He is an American history addict, an avid antique collector, and along with woodworking, he enjoys a wide range of gardening projects including caring for his berry bushes, heirloom fruit trees and chickens.
Dr. Dana Craig—affectionately known to her patients as “Dr. Dana”—was born and raised in the small town of Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania. In high school, she played volleyball, basketball, and softball, and worked as a dental assistant in her father’s dental practice. It was during this time that she discovered her love for dentistry and set her sights on becoming a dentist.
After graduating from Lakeview High School, Dr. Dana studied biology at Slippery Rock University. She married her high school sweetheart, Dan, and moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he was stationed with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. Dr. Dana completed her undergraduate studies at Methodist University in Fayetteville before attending dental school at West Virginia University. There, she served as class president for all four years and earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2013. She went on to complete her orthodontic residency at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, where she received her Master of Science in Orthodontics.
Since 2016, Dr. Dana has been practicing orthodontics in western Pennsylvania. After treating hundreds of patients using a wide variety of techniques and appliances, she has developed a personalized, patient-centered treatment philosophy.
“I love creating custom treatment plans and watching teeth move and align,” she says. “But the best part of my job is seeing patients light up as they notice their progress—especially when their confidence starts to grow.”
One patient shared, “You can tell that Dr. Dana loves what she does—she’s always so excited about the progress of my teeth at every visit.”
Dr. Dana lives in Sandy Lake with her husband, Dan, and their three children—Keira, Carter, and Connor. They live next door to her parents, and her kids are lucky to spend lots of quality time with their Nana and Papa. Outside of the office, Dr. Dana loves spending time with her family. Her kids enjoy swimming, fishing, crafting, and hunting for frogs and snakes. She’s an avid reader of personal development books, a loyal Kansas City Chiefs fan, and a proud member of Cochranton Community Church, where she and her husband are actively involved.

Dr. G, Dr. Dana, and the rest of the team are dedicated to bringing you and your family the most complete and professional orthodontic care.
