Meet Dr. Kate Reeves
Dr. Kate Reeves joined the Siouxland Community as a pediatric dentist at Dunes Dental 4 Kids, January of 2021. Dr. Kate is originally from Norfolk, NE and attended Wayne State College in northeast Nebraska. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s College of Dentistry in Lincoln, Nebraska where she became a Husker fan. Her husband, Trevor, was born in Iowa and although he grew up in Colorado, he is a Hawkeye fan!
After Dr. Kate graduated from dental school, she went on to complete a one-year Certification program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Idaho State University in Boise, Idaho. She enjoyed the dental experiences she gained during her time in Idaho and loved experiencing all the outdoor activities Idaho has to offer. Following her time in Idaho, Dr. Kate returned to Nebraska to complete a two-year specialty training in pediatric dentistry through the University of Nebraska Medical Center at Children’s Hospital in Omaha, NE. When asked about why she chose pediatric dentistry she explained, “I love what I do because children are amazing. There are few fields where you can discuss superheroes, zoo animals, and princesses all while providing an improved quality of life. Maintaining a healthy smile can help a child thrive, laugh, improve confidence, and tell stories. I take pride in having the opportunity to treat children like I would family and provide a fun positive dental experience that every child deserves.”
Dr. Kate has passion for all aspects of pediatric dentistry, but is particularly interested in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients with special health care needs, providing preventative dental care, and utilizing behavioral guidance techniques to ensure the best possible dental experience for children. She is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and the South Dakota Dental Association.
Dr. Kate and her husband are proud parents to their daughter, Marjie and have a sweet goldendoodle. As a family, they love being outside, running, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. Dr. Kate is looking forward to helping meet the dental needs of children in the area and cannot wait to meet you!
