Dr. Nicole Springer

Dr. Nicole Springer

Dr Springer is a proud mother, wife, daughter and dentist. Growing up with a mother as a dentist, she was always helping around the office. She was able to see the impact that good, gentle dentistry could have on a person. After graduating from TCU, she decided to stay in Texas for another 4 years while getting her DDS from Baylor Texas A&M College of Dentistry. She graduated in the top 10 of her class and was inducted into two honor societies including the renowned OKU. She returned to the Kansas City area with her husband Matt to join her mother’s practice. “She has taught me so much from her years of experience and I keep her up to date with the newest, most accurate technology. I truly love what I do!”

When she’s not working, she loves to be outside with her husband, her little boy Charlie and her dog Penny. She also enjoys baking, dancing, watching sports and going to the lake. “I hope my patients feel heard and taken care of while I deliver exceptional treatment.”


Meet Our Team

Havala

Havala McCracken, Front Desk

Havala has been in the dental business for 26 years. Before working the front desk, she was an assistant for 18 years so she is comfortable working all around the office and is able to educate patients on what to expect when scheduling their appointments. She is a mother of two boys and a wife of 23 years. In her spare time she loves watching her boys play baseball, cheering for the Chiefs, Royals and KU and enjoying good food and drinks with friends. Havala believes the more you know and are educated about your mouth, the better you can take care of it and make the best decision for yourself.

Paula Porter, Dental Assistant

Paula and her two sisters grew up watching their father work in his small dental lab, which led all three sisters to the dental profession.
