Meet Dr. Kate Reeves
Dr. Kate is originally from Norfolk, NE and attended Wayne State College in northeast Nebraska. She earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s College of Dentistry in Lincoln, Nebraska where she became an even more devoted Husker fan. After Dr. Kate graduated from dental school, she went on to complete a one-year Certification program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Idaho State University in Boise, Idaho. She enjoyed the dental experiences she gained during her time in Idaho and loved experiencing all the outdoor activities Idaho has to offer. Following her time in Idaho, Dr. Kate returned to Nebraska to complete a two-year specialty training in pediatric dentistry through the University of Nebraska Medical Center at Children’s Hospital in Omaha, NE. She serves as an adjunct teaching faculty member at Children's Hospital in Omaha at the UNMC Pediatric Dental Residency Program.
When asked about why she chose pediatric dentistry she explained, “I love what I do because children are amazing. There are few fields where you can discuss superheroes, zoo animals, and princesses all while providing an improved quality of life. Maintaining a healthy smile can help a child thrive, laugh, improve confidence, and tell stories. I take pride in having the opportunity to treat children like I would family and provide a fun positive dental experience that every child deserves.”
Dr. Kate has passion for all aspects of pediatric dentistry, but is particularly interested in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients with special health care needs, providing preventative dental care, and utilizing behavioral guidance techniques to ensure the best possible dental experience for children. She is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, and the South Dakota Dental Association. She is Board Certified in Pediatric Dentistry and has also earned the distinction of being a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a recognition “distinguishing those persons who have contributed above and beyond to the field of pediatric dentistry.”
Dr. Kate and her husband, Trevor, are proud parents of three children, Marjie, Frankie, and Rudy. Trevor, was born in Iowa, grew up in Colorado, and is an avid sports fan. As a family, they love being outside, running, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
