The definition of Summit is “the topmost level attainable”. I strive to achieve this every day with my patients. I am an alumni of the Pankey Institute, a member of the American Dental Association, Missouri Dental Association and Academy of General Dentistry.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 amazing children: Charlotte, and twins, John and Abigail. I also enjoy reading, traveling, gardening and yoga.
I began my dental career after graduating from the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Dentistry. The thing I love most about what I do are the relationships that I create with my patients. Creating a place of safety and trust in the dental chair is my number one priority each and every day. My team and I spend hundreds of hours per year on continuing education to ensure we are providing you with the most up-to-date, evidence-based care. I approach your dental health by being both proactive and conservative. We will decide together what the right treatment is for you.

For many people suffering from pain and discomfort in the joints of the jaw (TMJ), simple acts such as chewing or talking can be difficult. With advanced diagnostic imaging and a thorough exam, Dr. Williams will carefully design a treatment plan that will best address your TMJ discomfort.
Preventative dental care is more than just brushing your teeth and flossing, though. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is equally important as this will also heavily influence your oral health. For more insights, see our Top 10 Tips for a healthy, vibrant smile.
