Everyone should be able to feel good about their oral health and smile confidently. Being a dentist gives me the opportunity to restore worn or broken-down smiles. The beautiful, healthy smile that I can give to someone will allow them to feel good about themselves. That smile is one that will then be passed along to many others.

As a young adult, I had two wonderful dentists I admired and looked up to. I appreciated the kindness and gentleness they showed me during my dental visits. They even encouraged me to go to dental school. To this day, I continue to remember how much I appreciated their care. I always try to make sure that the depth and sincerity of their dedication to their patients well-being and comfort is replicated in my own work with my patients and the welcoming environment we have fostered here.

I have a fantastic team of dental professionals. They are highly-skilled, family-oriented, and caring individuals. We attend continuing education seminars and conferences together. The dental professional team is not only well-educated and knowledgeable in all aspects of dentistry but they are also warm and genuinely happy individuals. This is reflected in the quality of care all of us strive to deliver.

I am passionate about learning. Dentistry is an ever-evolving field. I am dedicated to its continued progress, as well as to my own personal growth and evolution as a dental professional. One of the ways by which I seek to enhance my professional growth is through participating in continuing education. My patients deserve exceptional dental care and the best that I am able to provide. I regularly attend classes and lectures, and I also pursue study outside of work.

Professional associations provide me numerous means of staying informed concerning technological advances, new treatment practices, and the latest science. As a member and active participant within forums, lectures, seminars, and meetings hosted by these groups, I obtain information that allows me to better serve and care for my patients.

I grew up in Wichita and movedto Derby in 1985. My husband and I have one son, a beautiful daughter-in-law,and three wonderful grandchildren. Our family also includes our precious adopted tuxedo cat, and adopted tabby cat, and two highly energetic Australian shepherds.

I am very fortunate to be able to use some of what I have learned in my professional life to help others. Toward that end, I first began volunteering as a dental student, and I continue to volunteer for many dental outreach programs that provide dental services to underserved individuals.

As someone with a deep love for animals, I am also a longtime supporter of the Kansas Humane Society, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), and LL Dog Rescue in Shawnee Mission.

I enjoy all aspects of my profession. But the joy I receive from working with patients to achieve their oral health and cosmetic dental goals means everything to me. There is nothing more exciting than when I see patients truly happy with their smile results. Working with each patient and getting to know them as a fully-rounded person allows me to learn new things every day. I am honored to develop friendships with my patients, and I am proud to provide them with the dental and oral care that they need.

As a dentist, I believe in open communication between myself and those I treat. It is essential that every patient knows they can come to me with questions and concerns and that they will be heard. I strive to make sure that each patient has the information required to make educated decisions about their dental care, and I spend time talking with them about treatment options and the positive and negative aspects of each. Working together and giving patients the knowledge that they need ensures the best outcome.

Ourdental professionalshave a great sense of responsibility to those we treat. We take the time to answer questions and address concerns. Patients and their families recognize immediately from the moment they step into our practice that the quality of their experience here is of paramount importance to us. Our concern for patient comfort begins in the reception area, and it continues through our treatment spaces and operatories. We are dedicated to painless dental care, using proven, leading-edge processes and techniques that guarantee that a visit to our practice is a positive experience.

Staying up-to-date with the latest improvements and advances in my profession, as well as pursuing advanced technical training, broadens the range of options that I can present to my patients. Therefore, I avidly pursue coursework, seminars, lectures, and conferences that are relevant to my profession and the needs of my patients. Courses I have taken include Invisalign orthodontic treatments and mini dental implant training. I have also performed a residency in dental implantology.

A professionals commitment to their discipline and those they serve is demonstrated by their willingness to work to remain continually aware of what is happening in their field. Through relationships with fellow dental providers and exchanges of information in various venues, I am able to stay abreast of clinical, technical, and research developments.

My love for my community compels me to offer my skills outside of work in ways that I hope will be to the benefit of its members. I am active in improving the dental awareness and health in our local community by participating in many dental outreach activities. Included among these is Give Kids a Smile, a program that offers a wide range of oral healthcare services to underserved youth. I also participate in the Kansas Mission of Mercy, which is part of the Kansas Dental Charitable Foundation and a group that provides dental care and treatment to those who might not otherwise have access to it.

Growing up, I did not like having oral health checkups, especially for cavity fillings. Every time my dentist started the infamous buzzing instrument, I would start screaming and crying for help. Luckily, I had a gentle, understanding dentist who helped me get through the procedure. As I grew up, I started to understand the importance of maintaining healthy teeth, which gave me a boost of confidence.

I am ready to pay it forward by providing a similar experience to my patients, so they too can achieve a confident smile. I am eager to provide positive dental experiences to my patients, focusing on oral health, which leads to an overall healthy body.

Learning is life long, therefore I frequently attend dental seminars, conferences and webinars to enhance my knowledge and skills. Keeping up with the latest dental advancements allows me to provide the best quality care for my patients. Currently, I am Invisalign certified and hope to add more such certifications.

In my free time, I enjoy staying fit by riding my peloton and doing pilates, expressing my creative side by doing various craft projects, crocheting, growing succulents, and most of all, spending time with family.

As dentists, we are trained to be oral health specialists, with the knowledge and skills for prevention, maintenance, and restoration of many oral conditions. However, a great dentist is more than that. I am proud to embody the philosophy here at Dental Professionals of patient-centered care. Patient satisfaction drives me as a clinician to strive for excellence and meaningful relationships. This is achieved through listening and understanding, as well as educating patients to allow them to make the best-informed decisions about their care.

I am originally from Upstate New York, met my wife in Omaha, Nebraska, and have enjoyed my time getting to know the Midwest! I enjoy spending time with my wife, Kaitlyn, going on walks and exploring, trying new places to eat, watching movies, golfing, and visiting family. We are enjoying the new challenge of parenthood with the birth of our beautiful daughter.

As I become more established in the community, I look forward to finding opportunities to use my knowledge and experience to give back. In the past, I have worked with Healthy Smiles in Omaha, Nebraska, providing dental screenings and sealants to at-risk elementary school children.

I am glad to be part of a practice that provides the best dental treatment available to our patients and our community. It is great that we care for so many of our neighbors and friends.

Following graduation from the WATC- Dental Assistant program in 2007, I joined Dental Professionals as Dr Ysidros certified dental assistant. In 2018, I moved from the clinical aspect of the office to the administrative side as the insurance coordinator. Each day I verify insurance, follow up with patients on any insurance changes, file claims, receive payments and correspond with insurance companies as needed. I enjoy interacting with our patients, reviewing dental insurance information with them, and educating patients on their treatment needs. I want each of our patients to have the best possible visit, every time.

I graduated in 2013 from WATC-Dental Assistant program in and 2019 started with the Gerety Orthodontic program.

I am a 2006 graduate of Wichita State University with a Bachelor of Science, in Dental Hygiene. I love learning about my patients lives and their families. Hearing their stories and sharing some of my own creates real friendships that I treasure. I work one-on-one with patients, helping them improve their oral and overall health. While I take X-rays, evaluate for dental disease, and care for their teeth, I talk with my patient. I help them understand their dental health, and together we find ways they can improve their home care. Seeing a healthy, clean smile at a hygiene visit makes my day!

My husband, Ryan, and I have three children twins, Cayce and Layla, and our youngest, Lyndi. I am thankful to stay home and care for my kids most days while also being able to take a day off and work as a dental hygienist one or two days a week.

I am a Wichita State University Dental Hygiene graduate with an Associate Degree in Psychology. Forming relationships with my patients while helping them reach their goal of a healthy and beautiful smile is one of my favorite parts of my job. I am truly passionate about helping people with their dental needs. As a licensed provider, I assess a patients dental and overall health through X-rays and evaluation, educate on proper homecare and complete treatment planning. Much of my day is spent teaching patients about the connection between a healthy mouth and body. Together, we find home-care solutions that work with their life and specific concerns.

I enjoy getting to know my patients. I appreciate their different needs and desires, and I adapt my care to meet their needs and goals. It is important to me to make a positive, lasting difference in each patients life. My true goal is to educate people on how to improve and maintain their oral and overall body health. By teaching about the connection between the two and helping patients learn to make healthy choices, I am helping them improve their lives.

When I am not at work, spending time with my husband, two teenage daughters, and our five furry family members, is my priority. I also enjoy quiet time; expressing myself through home decorating, remodeling, gardening and landscaping; and listening to music.
