About

Dr. Akers is a Kansas City native. She's a 1997 graduate of Shawnee Mission South, a 2001 graduate of Wheaton College in Chicago and a 2006 graduate of the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. She holds memberships in the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr Akers grew up sewing, doing needlepoint and embroidery and loves both working with her hands and playing with symmetry, color and design. So, instead of pursing medicine like her mother and grandfather, she was drawn to dentistry because of its fusion of both art and science. Since receiving her doctorate, Dr. Akers has had the opportunity to practice in an emergency clinic, a rural access to care clinic, small private practices and a large corporate group practice. These experiences helped her clarify her philosophy of care which integrates clinical excellence, superior service and an exceptional patient experience. In pursuit of these core principles, Dr. Akers has continued her education with some of the finest post-doctoral education programs in the country and is continually seeking new opportunities to learn. This passion for education is reflected in her commitment to educating her patients on the links between oral health and whole body health and wellness. When not working she loves cooking, quilting, gardening, reading (especially science fiction) and enjoys the challenge of walking her very rambunctious standard poodle, ADA.

Care Philosophy

Dr. Akers focuses on both the beauty and health of your smile. She prides herself in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy and beautiful for a lifetime. That's why she focuses on thorough exams (checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary) and is committed to continuing education and learning. A true believer that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health, she strives to provide "dental health care" vs. "disease care".

Dr. Akers has been my dentist for almost two years. She is very concerned about each patient's dental care and is vigilant about taking safeguards to protect against COVID-19. I appreciate the way she explains procedures and the expenses. The staff is friendly, patient, respectful of my time and follows up with reminders regarding appointments.
