the Jackson Family Dental team

Originally from a micro-tiny town in south Missouri, Kristen moved to Kansas City to attend UMKC School of Dentistry. Her journey in dentistry began at the age of 16, working as a dental assistant — a role that fulfilled her passion for establishing personal connections and lasting relationships with her patients.

As a proud mother of Spencer, Presley, Ledger, and Beckett, and devoted wife to Jesse, Kristen brings a warm and nurturing spirit to both her family and the dental office.

She has a passion for cooking, hosting family and friends, organizing, decorating, and traveling to warm destinations. When not in the office you’ll find Kristen cheering for her kids at their many sporting events and music performances, or hosting game nights around her kitchen table with friends and family.

Paige was born and raised in Maryville, MO. She is a BIG family girl and loves spending time with all her friends, family, and dog Ozzy! She attended Northwest Missouri State University for 1 year before transferring to the University of Missouri – Kansas City where she completed and received her BS in Dental Hygiene to become a registered hygienist.

Paige is comprehensively certified as a pilates instructor and currently teaches at Club Pilates! She loves being outside, gardening, watching/playing volleyball, cooking, board games, and reading all kinds of books!

Michelle’s journey in the medical field spans over two decades, with the last four years dedicated to dentistry and orthodontics. Michelle’s interest in dentistry is beautifully summed up by Buddy the Elf’s quote: “I just like smiling. Smiling’s my favorite.” Witnessing the confidence that a smile brings genuinely makes her happy.

At Jackson Family Dental, Michelle is an integral part of our exceptional team, which she admires for its focus and passion for patient care. She takes pride in contributing to the team’s collective effort to provide the best possible care to our patients. Daily interactions with patients bring her joy, knowing she plays a crucial role in creating a positive experience.

Outside the office, Michelle finds solace and rejuvenation in hiking in the mountains, her happy place that nourishes her soul. She shares a dream with her husband to one day reside in an A-frame home nestled in the mountains.

With 2.5 years of experience at Jackson Family Dental, Beth has been a vital part of our team. Beth’s fulfillment in her role stems from the satisfaction of seeing patients leave feeling confident and happy, eager to return for future visits.

While much of her work is behind the scenes, Beth understands the impact it has on patients’ experiences, making every moment worth the effort. Her commitment to patient care and the smooth operation of the practice exemplifies her dedication to going above and beyond for patients.

Married to Matt since 2002, Beth is a devoted mother to four children—Jackson, Brayden, Addilyn, and Hannah. In her free time, she enjoys listening to podcasts and audiobooks, engaging in sewing projects, and playing the important role of a mom-chauffeur.
