Dr. Laura Wittenauer is welcoming new patients to her practice of esthetic and comprehensive dentistry. After graduating from the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Dentistry, she established her dental practice in Lawrence, Kansas. She and her family relocated to Southern California to allow her husband, Rick, to attend the USC School of Dentistry Endodontic Residency program.

Dr. Laura’s practice focuses on building relationships with her patients by taking the time to listen to the needs and values of each person and then educate them on the best treatment to achieve optimum oral health. A rewarding aspect of her practice is helping special needs children and adults. She also practices part-time in Rancho Mirage, California.

Dr. Laura is active in many professional organizations including the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the California Dental Association, and the Orange County Dental Society. She also enjoys teaching dentists at The Dawson Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida, which focuses on comprehensive treatment of temporomandibular joint and occlusion issues.

Sarah is attending Loyola Marymount Law School in Chicago and Camden is attending the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. As a family they enjoy attending USC and KU sporting events, Crossfit, running and cooking.
