Kristina Ridgway
Office Manager
I have been in Dentistry since 1998 and love everything about it! I know choosing a dentist is sometimes deeply personal and we do not take that lightly. I have clinical as well as extensive front office experience. I value compassionate, comprehensive dentistry. I believe a smile can change someone’s day and a healthy smile can change someone’s life! Dentistry can be magical! It is an honor to be a part of helping you maintain your smile! I live in Belton and love being a part of this community. My husband and I have four young adult children, two grandchildren, two dogs , and an outdoor kitty! Outside of work I enjoy planning events for my family and pretending to be an interior designer in my home.
