Our team genuinely cares about creating positive experiences in our office. It shows in the way we treat each other and our patients. Patients can tell from the friendly, social mood of the office that we enjoy our jobs and are happy to see them. We take our jobs very seriously but we don't take ourselves too seriously!
With our flat screen TVs, Dr. Unruh will show you exactly what is going on inside your mouth. Because dental procedures can be expensive, Dr. Unruh wants you to have a clear picture before you make a decision about your treatment options.
My goal is to make high quality dentistry less stressful and more affordable. I work hard to inform patients about all their options and let them make the choice without any pressure from me or my team. Whether a patient just wants minimal care to treat an acute issue or in-depth, long-term repair and maintenance, each person is treated the same. I want to exceed patients expectations about what a dental visit is going to be like and make it more comfortable and enjoyable then they ever thought possible.
The people are what really make me excited to come to work each day. I love meeting new people and getting to know something about them, even if were just making small talk or telling jokes. My patients make me smile, and I hope to do the same for them.
One of the main reasons I find dentistry to be exciting and fun is that it is ever evolving. I enjoy learning new ideas about treatment and improving my knowledge and skills. I believe this is the only way for my patients to get the best dentistry available.
I continually attend continuing education in all aspects of dentistry to stay up to date and improve my ability to care for my patients. I recently have attended courses on dental implants, root canals, Invisalign, and cosmetic veneers and crowns.
I grew up just north of Wichita in Hesston, and currently reside in College Hill, Wichita. I have three beautiful women in my life. My wife Jennifer Unruh and my two daughters: six-year-old Vivien and four-year-old Victoria (the photo is a little old).
When Im not with my family or at the office, I enjoy exercising and often bike to work. I also often run over my lunch break, slowly, so if you see someone struggling down the street ata mediocre pace it could be me!I also really enjoy reading history, scifi and fantasy books.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
I graduated from Wichita Area Technical College in 2013 with my CDA and joined Dr. Unruhs practice in 2017. My goal is to make our patients feel comfortable in a sometimes-uncomfortable environment. Seeing patients walk away with more self-confidence after getting dental work done is very rewarding. I feel so fortunate to look forward to coming to work every day and the fun family atmosphere we have together.
I enjoy spending my free time with my boyfriend and our dog Rosie. We both enjoy exercising and cooking healthy meals together. I am a big sports fan and love watching the KU Jayhawks, as well as my two nephews sports events during the week. On my free weekends, I enjoy going home, spending time with my parents, and fishing at our farm.
I take care of just about everything in our office to keep it running smoothly and help patients with whatever they may need. Ive been lucky enough to work at this practice since 1994, giving me many opportunities to get to know our patients and their families. Our team is like my extended family, and I love sharing my life with them.
My Husband Jason and I have two awesome Kiddos, Avery and Jackson. We also have two spoiled fur babies, Zues and Ruth. We stay super buys with the kids activities. In my random downtime I enjoy reading.
Frances earned her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene degree from Wichita State University in 2012, and has recently joined the team at Arthur Unruh, DDS Family Dentistry. She is excited to provide compassionate care to the patients of our practice, and will work to ensure that all patients feel educated and empowered to take control of their oral health to improve the quality of their lives. When she is not working, Frances enjoys spending time golfing, cooking and traveling with her husband, Brady, and spoiling her two rescue dogs, Oreo and Toby. Frances is also a Past-President of the Kansas Dental Hygienists Association, and loves staying involved in supporting her profession through volunteering.
Monica joined our office in November 2019 and was born and raised in Wichita, KS. She has been practicing dental hygiene now for 7 years and attended Wichita State and graduated in 2013 with her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene.
