Dr. Leslie Frese is glad to have returned to her native Birmingham, after her years practicing overseas in Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. She graduated Cum Laude from the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry after a master's in Medical Health Sciences from Mississippi College and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Millsaps College.  Dr. Frese is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the Birmingham District Dental Society. She is also a member of several local study clubs where she collaborates with other dentists.

Dr. Frese grew up in Homewood in a family that taught her how to serve the community around her. This shaped her views on how to care for patients who she treats with genuine respect. It is her belief that a good smile brings dignity.

Dr. Frese advances her skill as a dentist through hundreds of hours of continuing education.  She has also completed a Comprehensive Implant Residency Program at Birmingham’s own, The Foundry.  She is highly committed to staying up-to-date on the latest technologies so she can offer dental implants, same-day crowns, sedation dentistry (for those who might be nervous about dental procedures), and Botox to her patients.

Dr. Frese is married to Marshall Malone, who is a REALTOR®. Together they have twins, Jack and Piper, and an affectionate blue tick coon hound, Bindi.  Her passion for quality dentistry is only matched by her love of aviation.  Both of her parents enjoyed flying airplanes, and she has been a licensed pilot for 15 years. She enjoys taking trips with her family, doing mission work, and playing tennis.  She is the proud owner of Iron City Dentistry.
