All for the Love of Dentistry

My mission

My mission is to make a difference in the world. This can be by giving someone confidence in their smile, the confidence in chasing their dream, or the confidence to get up on stage and share their journey to the world. I want to be the person who encourages change for the better in all facets of my life with gratitude for the passion I have found in my own journey.

I am a dentist, a practice owner, an educator, a dog mom, and an outdoor enthusiast. I love my job and feel rewarded that I get to help people achieve their healthiest, brightest smiles.

While I began my journey, I realized there weren’t many women in leadership roles within the dental industry. A colleague of mine encouraged me to step up and my initial reaction was to listen to the self doubt and reasons that I did not belong, or want to be, in the spotlight. Then it occurred to me – I bet a lot of other women are saying the same thing to themselves, too. That’s when I knew it was time to take the lead. Since then, I’ve led symposiums, training courses, and helped dental professionals advance their careers in a judgment-free, inclusive environment.

My focus of inspiring women in dentistry, and empowering dentists, has led me down a path of breaking through norms. I am proud of the time, dedication and effort I have put into changing the dental industry for the better through events that promote action, learning, and change. From seminars, webinars, and female-empowerment symposiums to advanced clinical training, promoting giveback, and philanthropy; I have focused my time on events that make the world a better place, one smile at a time.

What I Do

I’m a Dentist

Making the world a better place, one smile at a time.

If you’re at all like me, you were probably drawn to dentistry to help people. I love that we can do this while also combining technology, artistry and creativity.  I enjoy everything from changing someone's smile to changing what people think about going to the dentist. Everyone always says "I hate going to the dentist,"  in which I smile and simply say, "I am here to change that."

I’m a Practice Owner

Our doors are open for all smiles.

I suffered from dental anxiety and had a vision to create a space that was safe and inviting to others. I couldn’t find a space like this for myself, so I decided to open one of my own. Aadland Dental mirrors a spa with fountains, Tiffany blue walls, Netflix, and a pup named Auggie that our patients go crazy for.

Giving back, reaching out.

As healthcare professionals, we are privileged to be able to give back to our community and show our gratitude for their support and patronage. That’s why I am so proud to be involved with The Pathway which offers live patient courses and gives back a tremendous amount of free dental care. It's a win-win opportunity as doctors get to learn in an actual live patient setting while giving back. I’ve also traveled abroad to help others through mission trips in Guatemala, Honduras, and Romania. No matter where this journey takes me, my driving force remains: Changing smiles, changing lives.

Connecting Women in the Industry

Let’s face it, the leadership in the healthcare industry, dentistry especially, is a male-dominated field. My goal is to empower and connect female practitioners and create an inclusive community where women not only have a seat at the table, but also the agency to effect positive change. From public speaking and female-empowerment symposiums to advanced clinical training, I love being creative and executing an impactful message.
