I graduated from UMKC Dental School and have practiced dentistry for over 25 years. I enjoy helping people of all ages with their dental concerns. It is very important to me that people are comfortable. I take pride in suggesting practical dental solutions that will last for the long term.

I graduated from WSU in 1998 with a degree in Dental Hygiene.  After graduation I began my employment at Dental Corner and have been working here for the last eight years.

Ngoc Nguyen, RDH

I started my career in dentistry here at the Dental Corner as a dental hygiene assistant.  I worked in the hygiene program for about two years before moving on to become a dental assistant.  I assisted the doctors for one and a half years before deciding to continue my education.  I attended Wichita State University, where I went through the hygiene program.  I graduated in May of 2006 as a Registered Dental Hygienist and returned to Dental Corner to begin my new career.  Whether it's an annual prophy or periodontal care, I do my best to help each of my patients maintain and improve upon their overall health.

Office Manager - Deborah Johnson

I have been in dentistry for about 12 years and absolutely love my job.  The feeling of satisfaction I receive when a patient completes their dental care and is healthy again, is uncomparable.  My husband and I live in a small town with our six children ranging from 2 to 15.  Most of my "spare time" is spent with different youth activities.  I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and helping you get the smile you've always wanted.

Clinical Manager/Lead Assistant - Becky Wilderom

I have worked for Dental Corner for the past four years.  I have had the great opportunity to see Dental Corner evolve and change over the years to what it is today.  Our wonderful staff is caring and conscientious of our patients needs.  We always strive to put the patient first, which is why I absolutely love to work with such a great team of people.  I live in Newton with my husband, Mark, and our two children, ages six and two.  Over the years Dental Corner has become more than just a job, it has become an extension of our family.  We are excited and looking forward to what the future holds here at Dental Corner.  Our hope is that we also can become part of your family.

Lab Supervisor - Terry Watson

Having an on-site dental lab at The Dental Corner allows us to provide services not available at other offices, such as One Day Services on relines, repairs and one day dentures. We have the ability to see prosthetics in the mouth and work side by side with the Doctors, Assistants and Office Staff, which other dental labs can not do, therefore, we can provide more personal service with better quality care to the patient.

Lab Technician-Loretta Hollinger

I have been in the dental field for the past 25 years.  I am very passionate about the care I give my patients and the quality of the services they receive.  I specialize in constructing removable prosthesis (dentures and partials) for the patients here at Dental Corner.  The process of dentures and/or partials can seem very scary and unfamiliar.  I walk each and every patient through the complete process from the first visit to the day you leave with a new smile.   I work closely with the doctors and staff, to not only achieve an esthetically pleasing appearance, but to also treat and maintain your overall dental health.  I look forward to meeting you and assisting you with your denture or partial.
