My dental philosophy is to provide my patients with comprehensive dental care that will set them up for long-term success in their oral health. I believe in preventative dental care, and I strive to always provide exceptional quality to each and every patient, all while building an enjoyable doctor-patient relationship. I look forward to caring for your smile.
Dr. Johnson has been married to her husband Taylor since 2012, and they have 2 daughters, Emery & Olivia. In their free time, the Johnson family can be found cheering on the Kansas Jayhawks, cooking and trying new foods, swimming in the backyard, or brewing beer and wine. The Johnsons also have two cats, Java & Perl, who are spoiled members of the family. She also enjoys reading a good book and usually has 2-3 books in the works.
Dr. Aulds dental career started in her homeland of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Following high school graduation, she attended a five year program at the University of Mogi das Cruzes School of Dentistry, in Sao Paulo, and graduated with honors. Upon graduation, she worked at a private dental practice, in addition to volunteering dental work for the Rotary Club of Sao Paulo to help the underserved population. After relocating to the United States, she attended the University of Missouri- Kansas-City School of Dentistry for 3 years in order to obtain her U.S. and Kansas dental license.
In August 2007, Dr. Auld joined the dental practice of Dr. Steven Thompson, who became her mentor and whose dental philosophy of treatment she follows to this day. She continues to practice dentistry at the same office, Ottawa Kansas Dentistry, and now has the pleasure of working for Dr. Jessica Johnson. Dr. Auld feels very fortunate to have the opportunity of working with great dentists throughout her dental career.
Dr. Auld had the honor of accepting the Ottawa Heralds Best of the Best Dentist award in 2015, 2016 and 2017. She attributes her achievements to hard work and the support of her amazing family, friends, patients and co-workers.
She is an member of the American Dental Association, Kansas Dental Association, and Fifth District Dental Society. She enjoys keeping up with the latest dental technology, procedures, and materials. Dr. Auld also participates in Donated Dental Services organizations.
I truly believe dentistry can not only change a persons smile, but can also change their lives by improving their confidence, self-esteem and health. The expression on someones face when they see their new smile is very rewarding. My goal is to build relationships with my patients and help them maintain a beautiful and healthy smile, says Dr. Auld.

Great dental office. Of all the dentists I have seen in my 51 years, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Auld stand out for providing a friendly, relaxed, and pain-free experience. I actually want to go to the dentist now.

Most of us don't like change, but sometimes it's for the good. I made the change to Ottawa Kansas Dentistry a few years back, and I am so glad I did. I had known Dr. Johnson from a service club we belong to but had not seen her professionally. The first thing I noticed as a patient was the care and compassion for me. I had never had such a thorough exam in a dentist's office, and each time I have been back. Dr. Johnson screens for cancer all through your mouth and checks below your jawline. I am impressed that Dr. Johnson not only cares about me as a patient but gives back to the community. If you are looking for a dentist that cares, look no further than Ottawa Kansas Dentistry and Dr. Johnson.

Great communication by staff with professionalism and gentle with my cleanings as I have TMJ. I hate dentist offices and most people don't like to go; it takes me awhile to go to one and get their trust. After the first visit, I questioned why I was going to my old one for so long! My cleaning lasted longer than my old dentist. Dr. Johnson and her hygienists care!

I absolutely HATE "Dentist offiice's" in general. But this has been my dentist office for 25 years and they have always been nothing but professional and courteous and do a great job. The people are super friendly and always have a smile on their faces. I would highly recommend them.

Terrible staff, unsanitary environment and the dentist is extremely under qualified! I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Dr. Johnson and her staff were wonderful. I took my two older children (5&3) there for their first appointments. They were patient and understanding especially with my son who has autism and was less than cooperative. We will be back!

I had a bad experience when I was younger at the dentist so i was terrified to go back but needed a massive amount of dental work done. Since my dad has been going here for quite sometime I figured I'd give it a try. I got set up with Dr. Auld. From the very first minute I walked in the door I was greeted with smilesand kindness. Every visit since (andit's been alot) has been just as wonderful. All thestaff knows how particular I am and they all work well with me and my son. I will never go anywhere else. Very very considerate and kind! All of them. As far as the building, it is very clean and inviting. Thumbs up ladies!!!

I have seen Dr. Johnson a few times now. She is always friendly and prompt. I have also taken my 4 and 2 year olds to see her for all of their appointments. When my kids were nervous, Dr Johnson and her staff took them on a tour and let them see and feel the instruments. It was so helpful because my kids warmed up to them and made the appointments go more smoothly.
