Dr. Dietrich was accepted into an accelerated pre-dental program at the University of Iowa to prepare for dental school. She then went on to pursue her doctorate in dental surgery at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2011. After graduating, she worked as an associate dentist in Iowa for five years before deciding to live in Chicago and California.

After spending some time in California, she returned to Iowa to be closer to friends and family and joined the practice family at Plaza Dental Group. Dr. Dietrich enjoys helping her patients achieve beautiful, radiant smiles and impacting their lives in a positive way. Her dentistry knowledge spans across many disciplines, including complete smile makeovers, orthodontics with Invisalign®, implant dentistry, and oral appliance therapy. 

Outside of the office, you can find Dr. Dietrich embarking and participating in new ventures. She enjoys traveling with her mom, trying new restaurants, enjoying time outdoors, swimming, running, attending sporting events, and making crafts. She also loves to spend time with her three cats, two of which are stray brothers that she adopted to complete her furry family.

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve the patients in our practice; they are the reason I come to work with a smile on my face every day. I enjoy meeting new patients and getting to know them and their families as we work together to improve their oral health. I appreciate it when patients want to play an active role in their dental experience. I joined the oral healthcare field to help change the way people think about going to the dentist’s office. When patients tell me that they didn’t like to visit the dentist before, but now they love it, I know I’ve been successful!”
