Dr. Tiffany Pinkston
Dentist
Dr. Tiffany Pinkston has always known her path would lead to dentistry. Since the age of seven, she dreamed of joining the field after spending much of her childhood in the dental chair. Inspired by the compassionate care she received and the connections she built with the dental team, she knew she wanted to help others feel just as supported and empowered.
A graduate of A.T. Still University’s Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health, Dr. Pinkston began her dental career in 2020. In October 2024, she joined her current practice, where she embraces a family-first philosophy of care. For Dr. Pinkston, her favorite part of the job is working alongside a dedicated team that supports one another to provide exceptional patient experiences. She treats every patient like family and always strives to help people feel comfortable and well cared for.
In her spare time, Dr. Pinkston loves to explore the world—whether by kayak, camera lens, or plane ticket. An avid traveler, she has ventured to several countries, often solo, to experience diverse cultures and capture the beauty of the world through photography. Fun fact: she’s even stood on the frozen Arctic Ocean! When it’s time to unwind, you’ll likely find her piecing together a puzzle or planning her next adventure.
Dr. Pinkston’s warmth, expertise, and adventurous spirit make her a beloved member of the team and a dentist patients trust and admire.
Lee
Office Manager
Lee’s journey in dentistry started back in 1987 in Oklahoma, and funnily enough, it wasn’t exactly planned. A friend needed help at their dental office, so Lee stepped in, and she's been working in dental care ever since. Over the years, continuous training—including courses with Dr. Atson and CE programs—has helped Lee stay on top of industry updates while making sure patients receive the best care possible. For Lee, the best part of the job is the people she meets and knowing that days are better when everyone leaves the dental office with a smile.
Outside of work, Lee enjoys fishing, camping, horseback riding, and antiquing. A fun fact about Lee: growing up in New York, she was the undisputed #1 toad-catching champion of the neighborhood!
Valeria
Hygienist
Valeria is a dedicated dental hygienist who has been making a difference since she began her career in 2021. A proud alumna of Wichita State University, she provides exceptional care—ranging from cleanings and x-rays to oral health education—that truly helps her patients smile brighter. Joining Gemdenta in January 2025, Valeria loves watching her patients’ oral health improve over time.
Outside the office, she enjoys staying active with gym workouts and Pilates, while also expressing her creative side through painting, coloring, and going to concerts—she's been to over 15!
Kendra
Dental Assistant
Kendra is one of our friendly and outgoing dental assistants. Because she's always ready to laugh or make others smile, she's known as "the funny one" on her team. Educated at the Colorado School of Dental Assisting, she's been in dentistry since 2010 and has been with our practice since June 2024, working closely with Dr. Pinkston since October. Kendra loves the closeness of a small team and enjoys every moment of her work caring for people's smiles.
Outside of the office, Kendra is passionate about listening to music, gardening, and tackling projects that involve building and fixing things. Plus, she’s the proud pet parent of two cattle dog mixes, Maximus Moo and Onion. And in a twist that’s truly out of this world, Kendra once experienced a meteor impact!
