Hailing from Mitchell, SD, Dr. Heesch is proud to have a remarkable family legacy as a fourth-generation dentist. She grew up in the profession and got to see firsthand how life-changing dentistry could be; so she knew from an early age that she wanted to carry on the family tradition.
Dr. Heesch pursued her undergraduate degree at Augustana University before attending the prestigious Creighton University School of Dentistry, where she coincidentally graduated on the 100th anniversary of her great-grandfather's graduation from the same institution. Following her dental school journey, Dr. Heesch embarked on a fulfilling path by joining the US Army, where she served as a dentist at Ft. Riley in Kansas for four years.

This title demonstrates her expertise and commitment to identifying and treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.
When she isn’t practicing dentistry, Dr. Heesch cherishes her role as a wife and mother. Her husband, a professor of exercise science at Augustana University, shares her dedication to their growing family. They have a young son and daughter, and their decision to be based in South Dakota reflects their eagerness to be close to their loved ones.
