Kari and her husband, Jon, have been members of the Carbon Valley community since 2007.  They moved here while she was still in dental school and didn't expect to stay long-term. However, in no time at all they felt a deep connection to the community and after graduation decided to stay put. Kari was accepted into a competitive General Practice Residency program at the University of Colorado where she gained valuable experience treating complex dental patients in a hospital setting. This year-long program was intense and challenging, but Kari credits that year as having a huge impact on the dentist she has become.

​

Inspire Dental is the realization of a dream for Kari and she feels blessed to be able to both live and work in the Carbon Valley community. Her diverse experiences as a dentist have given her a well-rounded skill set, including a passion for laser dentistry, which is a vital part of the treatment provided at Inspire Dental. Kari loves treating patients of all ages and can’t imagine a job that is more fulfilling than caring for members of her own community in impactful ways.
