Meet The Doctors


Andrew Edwards MS DDS

Hello, I'm Doc Andrew! Born in Pennsylvania, I was raised in rural North Arkansas and attended the University of Arkansas. Although I've lived in Washington for several years now, I still consider Arkansas home. Small town living with southern hospitality and treating your neighbors like family stays with me today. I attended Colorado State for my Master Degree in Anatomy and Neurobiology. After having my daughter, Anna, who is now a hygienist at my practice, we moved to Missouri to attend University of Missouri Kansas City for dental school. After having my son, Aiden, and building my first practice in Blue Springs Kansas, we decided to head West where I always wanted to live. I built my dream practice in 2017 and it's been amazing since!
