Being a dentist is my way of serving others. By finding solutions to meet the individuals short- and long-term dental health needs, I help them to lead a healthier, happier life. I truly cannot imagine a more personally or professionally rewarding career.
Before practicing dentistry, I attended the University of Missouri, Columbia, where I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Biology. Next came Creighton University, where I was awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). This was followed by my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS), at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.
Since finishing dental school, I have actively sought out numerous post-doctoral continuing education courses. Dentistry is a constantly advancing field, with ongoing research leading to new methodologies, materials, and technologies.
We live in my hometown of Ottawa, with our dog and cat, and are currently renovating our house. As you might imagine, the process is a major investment of time and energy, but we love working together to make the house into our home!
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.
For Dr. Leah Desch and our team, dentistry is more than fixing teeth. We care about each patient, personally, and want only the best for them: a full, happy, and successful life and a great smile they love to share!
