My Vision is to elevate the art and science of dentistry by designing natural, confidence-boosting smiles that honor each patient's individuality, story, and vision of beauty.
Your smile transformation begins with your goals, your aesthetic preferences, and how you want to feel. My role is to guide you through the process with honesty, artistry, and skill — delivering results that look beautifully natural and uniquely you.
As a pre-med student at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, I discovered that dentistry was the perfect fusion of my two greatest passions: science and art. This realization led me to apply early to The University of Illinois College of Dentistry, where I was accepted during my junior year. From that moment, my journey toward the most fulfilling career imaginable began.
In 1997, I founded Water Tower Dental Care, and I am incredibly proud to have watched it grow into one of the nation's top dental practices. Our culture and team are the driving forces behind our vision — delivering the highest level of care through exceptional communication, cutting-edge technology, and comprehensive, customized smile makeovers.
After raising my four children — Meaghan, Avery, Ethan, and Peyton — returning to Water Tower Dental Care has reignited my passion for helping patients achieve the smiles of their dreams. My focus is on creating undetectable, natural-looking, and beautifully confident smiles while ensuring patient care in a warm, welcoming environment.
I am committed to lifelong learning, continuously advancing my knowledge through education and training to stay at the forefront of dental innovation. Every smile transformation begins with a patient-centered approach, taking the time to understand individual needs and crafting customized solutions for healthy, radiant smiles.
Beyond dentistry, I love traveling and spending time with my children, my husband, Chuck, and our three doodles — Milo, Maverick, and Goose. My artistic passion extends into painting with oils and acrylics, as well as my side gig as a scenic artist, designing and painting sets and props for four local theaters.
Every smile should look like it belongs to you. My goal is to create results so naturally beautiful you can not detect the dentistry.
I take the time to understand your concerns, desires, lifestyle, and the emotional impact your smile has had on you.
From digital imaging to advanced shaping tools, I combine precision technology with artistic hand-finishing for the most accurate and beautiful results.
Your comfort matters. I strive to an atmosphere where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for every step of the way.
Every recommendation is guided by what's best for your long-term health and happiness — never by trends or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Every beautiful smile starts with a conversation. Let's discuss your vision and create a personalized plan together.
