Continuing education has been an important part of Dr. Killingsworth's practice. Her areas of interest have primarily been implant and cosmetic dentistry and most recently sedation dentistry. She began practicing dentistry in her own practice in 2002. She moved the practice to the current location in the fall of 2010.
Our team does have some exciting news to share, Dr. Killingsworth has invited Dr. Gretchen Bauer to join our practice permanently. We are thrilled to have her, and the ability this brings to offer you expanded care. Dr. Bauer grew up in Kansas City, MO and graduated from the University of Missouri there.

On a personal note, Gretchen is married with three sons. She enjoys traveling, hiking and reading.

Embarrassingly, I had not seen a dentist in awhile, and I needed several fillings and a crown. Dr. Bauer and Lynelle took great care of my teeth and my mouth looks great now!!

I've been seeing Dr K all my life, and I absolutely love being seen by her and her staff! They always make me feel like there's never a reason to be nervous or anxious, and I know that the same great service is going to be provided every time I come in! Also Patti is so wonderful, she's always so helpful and kind, walking in and seeing such a friendly, smiling face sets a wonderful mood for the rest of the visit!

2022 update: Yep still the best care and nicest staff! 2020: Broke tooth: They got me in quickly; They worked as a team; They were quick and efficient; Dr Killingsworth gave the two most painless shots I've ever had. They take good care of my only set of teeth which I want to keep another 25 yrs ('til I'm 95) A happy chomper. Getting my teeth cleaned is a delightful experience. Just like visiting with friends (except I don't have to pay my friends) Always a relaxing friendly place to get my oral health checked. My COVID review - wow, the practice just keeps humming along with all the extra precautions but the same cheerfulness and care as usual.

The best dentist experience I've ever had. They were so attentive and caring there. I felt very comfortable. And I'm usually extremely nervous at the dentist office. I'm so happy to have found such a fantastic dentist practice.

They are fantastic. Jody is my hygienist and she is so so gentle. Great conversation. Every single nerve I have is in my mouth-- I have been so hurt by other dentists and hygienists but that is absolutely not a thing here. I absolutely love these ladies. I have worked with both dentists and both are fantastic and gentle as well. Patty the office manager is absolutely delightful. She is always so so kind and upbeat. Fantastic practice.

The most amazing experience, everyone is so friendly, kind, knowledgeable and personable! Dr. Killingworth is the best Dentist ever, and I've had a lot of dental work here in Parker, Centennial and WY. She took care of a bad tooth within an hour of seeing me, I'm now pain free for the first time in months! I can't wait to GO back and take charge of my dental health again with this Team!
