the summit dental family
Get to know our team
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.

Family Dental Care
Our team is here to provide quality dental care for the whole family. We see a wide range of patient ages at Summit Dental. Whether the patient is 5 days or 95 years, we are here to help you with your oral health. Overall dental health is more than just teeth, and we are here to work with you to achieve longevity for your oral health.
Restorative Care
We are proud to offer many different types of dental restorations depending on your specific needs. Our team frequently helps patients who suffer from broken and missing teeth. From fillings and crowns to full mouth rehabilitation, we're here to help you fall in love with your smile.
Sleep Disorders
Issues such as sleep apnea, breathing through your mouth and snoring may be contributing factors of poor quality sleep that leaves you feeling exhausted. These sleep disturbances can cause rippling effects on your overall health. We offer a variety of treatment options to help address these disorders and improve the quality of your sleep.
TMJ Treatments
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.
A healthy body starts with a healthy mouth
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.
