Dr. Corley is proud to serve the community she grew up in, providing compassionate, patient-centered dental care to families in San Diego. Having been raised in the area, she feels honored to care for a community she knows and loves, building meaningful relationships with patients while helping them achieve healthy, confident smiles.

One of Dr. Corley’s greatest joys as a dentist is getting to know her patients personally. She values the connections she forms with individuals and families and enjoys celebrating their milestones—from school achievements to career successes and family moments. For her, dentistry is not just about teeth; it is about caring for people and supporting their overall well-being.

Dr. Corley is passionate about educating patients on the strong connection between oral health and overall health. The condition of the mouth can influence many bodily systems, including cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and prenatal health. She believes that a healthy smile also plays an important role in confidence, self-image, and emotional wellness. Together with her team, she works closely with patients to improve their dental health, function, and appearance while providing practical, supportive guidance for maintaining lifelong oral health.

Dr. Corley earned her Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology, graduating cum laude with distinction, from San Diego State University. She later received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. In 2012, she opened her private practice, Rea Corley Dentistry in La Jolla, where she has enjoyed serving her community and helping patients achieve healthier, more beautiful smiles.

Committed to professional growth and high standards of care, Dr. Corley remains active in several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and San Diego County Dental Society. Through these affiliations, she participates in continuing education, study groups, and professional meetings to stay current with advancements in dental techniques and technology. She carefully evaluates new innovations to ensure they truly enhance patient care and outcomes.

Outside the office, Dr. Corley enjoys spending time with her husband Jeremy and their two sons, Brady and Jordy. Their family also includes their dog, Chorizo, and two cats, Sandy and Pearl. She loves family outings to the zoo and beach, bike rides, and cheering on the San Diego Padres.

In her free time, Dr. Corley enjoys cooking, baking, traveling, running, and practicing yoga. Staying active and living a healthy lifestyle are important parts of her daily routine—values she encourages in her patients as well as part of a balanced and healthy life.
