Meet Dr. Kristin Morris

When I was a child, braces improved my smile, my self-esteem, and my confidence. I’ve devoted many years to furthering my ability to improve patients’ smiles. My personal fulfillment comes from making a difference in people’s lives, whether it is with a new smile, a healthier night’s sleep, relief from chronic headaches, or a recommended nutritional program.

I am passionate about exploring non-traditional aspects of dentistry in order to provide wider, more comprehensive treatment plans. Continuing my personal and professional development is extremely important to me, and studying acupuncture, applied kinesiology, nutrition, and philosophy has given me more insight into the human condition than I ever thought possible.

Education and Continuing Education

• Bachelor of Science – Augustana College, Rock Island, IL
• Doctorate of Dental Surgery – University of Iowa College of Dentistry, Iowa City, IA

Continuing my education allows me to open up new worlds of treatment to benefit my patients’ health and wellness. I have advanced cosmetic dentistry training through NYU and UCLA and attend annual study clubs for TMJ and headache cases. I attended the Pankey Institute and the Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education, and completed the AACP Craniofacial Pain Mini-Residency, Introduction to Cranial Osteopathy, and AACP Sleep Dentistry.
