Dr. Nicole Kurlbaum’s goal in every appointment is to help her patients feel heard, listening to their needs as we put together treatment plans that meet their goals. She is passionate about restoring people’s smiles so they can feel confident again! Even if life has made it hard to visit the dentist, her attitude of non-judgement will make you feel welcome and cared for.
Dr. Kurlbaum graduated from KU with degrees in art and science, and before becoming a dentist, Dr. Kurlbaum was medical illustrator. She taught at the Kansas City Art Institute and her work has been published internationally. She uses her background as an artist every day with her patients.
Dr. Kurlbaum lives nearby with her husband, daughter, and lab-mix dog Zoey. In her free time, she likes to cook, color with her daughter, and make up bedtime stories!
