Dr. D, as she is affectionately called by her patients, completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Iowa in Japanese and spent a few years in Japan studying its language and culture. She also earned Masters degrees in both International Affairs and Economics. Results of her studies and dental research were published here and abroad.

I highly recommend. It's a very nice, neat organized place. The dentist knows what she's doing. It's not only a traditional method but it's beyond better than that, it truly works...

(Translated by Google) I really recommend it, she doesn't use the traditional method, which was what I was looking for, it goes further, even with massages, it really works and in a short time, she knows what she really does, I really recommend it, I'm happy with the results (Original) En verdad lo recomiendo,no usa el metodo tradicional que era lo que yo buscaba va mas alla,hasta con masajes,de verdad funciona y en poco tiempo,ella sabe lo que realmente hace,de verdad lo recomiendo,estoy contenta con los resultados

We were looking for someone to address our children's misaligned teeth and palates holistically and Dr. D has been an answer to prayer! We are already seeing remarkable improvement in our boys' teeth and breathing. Dr. D and her staff are kind and encouraging. The office is a 2+ hour drive for us, but they have been very accommodating in doing Zoom appointments when possible. And even the times we need to make the drive, it's totally worth it!

I had conventional orthodontic treatment prior to coming with Dr.D and was struggling with poor posture and overall fatigue due to interrupted sleep. After reading a book named "Jaws, " I was interested in a different approach to oral health that was more comprehensive and all encompassing. Dr.D provided a personalized treatment based on my concerns and her own findings which provided me with more comfort and relief that someone was taking a more comprehensive approach. After initiating with her plan within weeks I wasn't feeling fatigued even though I was sleeping less hours. My breathing improved and overall I feel healthier and more energized. It's crazy how much your oral posture has to do with the rest of your health. Highly recommend!!!!! Great investment in your overall health.

Dr. Dawn uses a research-based, exceptionally effective approach to dentistry/orthodontia that I haven't seen anywhere else. My spouse and I both had extensive orthodontia as children and young adults, so when I heard Dr. Dawn talk about her approach, I was intrigued enough to take my children for an evaluation. The techniques she uses has helped my children's mouths (and bodies) grow appropriately. When things don't go smoothly or as expected, Dr. Dawn has a seemingly limitless list of ideas and tools. I heartily recommend giving Dr. Dawn and her approach a try!

When I was first looking for a dental office that specializes in tongue posture/Mewing/Myobrace/ and breathing, I looked everywhere...and finally found Serenity Dental! It is truly an answer to prayer. I have a pretty unique orthodontic situation, with two teeth in completely switched positions. I was also unhappy with the aesthetics of my face/jaw. Since day 1, my experience with them has been amazing. They are professional, friendly, informed, encouraging, and always upbeat & positive! They always go out of their way to accommodate me and communication is great. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone interested in improving teeth alignment, airway, and facial structure. I feel so blessed to be a patient there!

Dr. Dawn and team at Serenity Dental Studio are simply amazing. I had no idea my oral health could impact so many other sectors of my health. I truly believe that this dental practice is light years ahead of most when it comes to treating the whole patient. I highly recommend this dental office!
