Our Story
Built on Legacy, Driven by Family
"I was amazed at the results. I knew at that time I was very interested in learning the business."
-- Anton "Doc" Payne Sr., Founder
WorldDent was founded in 1998 by Anton "Doc" Payne Sr., a veteran of the auto repair industry since 1978. After years of running body shops in Augusta, GA and Indiana, Doc discovered the art of paintless dent repair and was captivated by the results. He opened WorldDent to bring this revolutionary method to the world.
What started in a small Indiana town has grown into a worldwide operation. Doc trained his two sons -- Michael Payne and Anton Payne Jr. -- along with their wives, and now a third generation carries the torch. WorldDent is more than a company; it is a family legacy built on trust, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
A Family Tradition
Doc raised his sons Michael and Anton Jr. in the business, teaching them not just the craft of PDR, but the values that make WorldDent different: honesty, respect, hard work, and teamwork. Their wives Andrea and Nathalia joined the operation, and now their children -- Rizael, Zaylie, Jhade, and Javin -- are the next generation of WorldDent.
Three Generations Strong
Owner-operated since 1998
In Honor of Doc
Anton "Doc" Payne Sr. unexpectedly passed away in 2011. His loss was the hardest thing the family has ever faced. But through strength, unity, and a determination to honor his vision, the Payne family built WorldDent stronger than ever -- serving customers worldwide and keeping Doc's spirit alive in every vehicle they restore.

Learn MoreHow PDR Works
When a metal panel is dented by hail, it no longer holds its formed shape. However, the metal has a memory and naturally wants to retake its original form. Our master technicians use LED lights to illuminate the dent, then access the space behind it to carefully push and massage it back to factory condition.

As Seen on Discovery Channel
WorldDent was the preferred choice for the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers TV series. After extreme filming sessions left their fleet severely hail-damaged, producer Todd Needham turned to WorldDent.
We recognized the severe damage as an extreme opportunity and challenge. The vehicles were returned to like-new condition and lived to chase another day.
"From one group of storm chasers to another -- you were all a pleasure to work for. Be careful out there!"

In Loving Memory
Anton "Doc" Payne Sr.
1959 -- 2011
"His mission in life was to treat people the way they deserve to be treated and be the best husband and father he knew how to be -- at all cost."
Doc Payne built WorldDent not just as a business, but as a way of life. A veteran of the automotive industry since 1978, he saw in paintless dent repair a craft that matched his values: precision, honesty, and treating every customer like family.
When Doc unexpectedly passed in 2011, it was the hardest thing his family had ever faced. But they stayed strong. Michael and Anton Jr., along with their wives and children, channeled their grief into purpose -- building WorldDent stronger than it has ever been.
Every vehicle WorldDent restores, every customer they serve, every community they touch carries Doc's spirit forward. His legacy is not just a company -- it is a family that refuses to stop growing, serving, and honoring the man who started it all.
