Dr. Lori J Engelmann, DDS
Dentistry allows me to help people achieve the best smile possible. I do believe that dentistry isn't just about teeth however. Its also about people-our patients and my team. I believe in treating each person who comes into the office as an individual and really try and get to know them. Many of my patients have been with me since the beginning of my practice in 1987. I strongly believes in a holistic approach to dentistry, believing that your overall health impacts your oral health."
Dr. Engelmann graduated from Shawnee Mission East High School in 1979, The University of Kansas in 1983 and from The University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Dentistry in 1987. After completing her training at UMKC Dr. Engelmann chose to stay here to be close to family and for the warm, friendly people of the mid-west. Dr. Engelmann has two children; Jenna is a graduate of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth working in the marketing industry and Garrett is a graduate of the California Maritime Academy. She enjoys KU Basketball, TCU Football, watching her kids in their varied activities, and traveling the world.

Nakita
My name is Nakita and I am a Dental Hygienist at Dr. Lori's office. I received my license in 2013 after attending the Dental Hygiene program at Johnson County Community College. I enjoy working for Dr. Lori because she is kind, honest, and has a conservative approach to dentistry.
Outside of the office I love to spend with my husband and our dog Mason. We like to hike, bike, or just spend time outdoors. I look forward to meeting you at your next cleaning!
