Meet Dr. Kara Ritterpusch

For as long as I can remember, my greatest joy in life has come from building relationships with others. Becoming a dentist has allowed me to create and build lasting relationships with people from all walks of life and all across the world! I absolutely love having the opportunity to use those relationships to create and maintain beautiful smiles for my patients and their loved ones. My goal is to help you achieve a healthy smile through person-centered care, by designing custom treatment plans that match each patient’s goals for oral and systemic health. I am passionate about providing a stress free and pain free appointment while providing the highest quality of care possible.

I was born and raised in Pasadena, Maryland, where I spent my free time on theChesapeake Bay with my two older brothers. I then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I earned a Bachelor of Science in biology and minor in chemistry before moving west to earn a Doctorate of Dental Medicine from A.T. Still University Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Upon graduation I stayed in Arizona to complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe Dental Clinic. I am a proud member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Society.

Outside of dentistry you can find me reading, baking, listening to music, watching Carolina basketball, hiking, traveling, and spreading smiles everywhere I go!
