Dr. DeeAnn Kucera
Dr. DeeAnn Kucera was born and raised in Waco and attended college at Texas A&M University. From there, she went on to dental school at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. In 1991, she moved back to Waco with her husband Gerry. They have three children that just happen to be triplets, love to travel, particularly hiking in our National Parks, spending time with family and especially with her first granddaughter, Harper!
Dr. Kucera has been practicing dentistry in Waco for 30 years and loves seeing generations of families growing in the office. Treating the whole family is so fun for Dr. Kucera. From children, their parents and our seniors-she wants everyone to have the best smile.
Because dentistry is ever changing, continuing education is a passion for Dr. Kucera. She is a life-long member of the Academy of General Dentistry, a fifteen year past member of the Seattle Study Club and presently for the last 5 years in the Spear Education Study Club giving her the best opportunity to problem solve cases with her peers in the community and stay up to date on all of the latest treatments and technologies for her patients.
She belongs to St. Jerome’s Catholic Church and enjoys the Sisterhood Bible Study at Harris Creek Baptist church as well. She’s been in the same book club in Waco for 20 years. Dr. Kucera believes Waco is a fantastic community, and it has shaped her into the person she is today.
Love is in the details is Dr. Kucera’s motto. She enjoys all phases of dentistry, but when asked what she likes the best she says, “I like to improve smiles, so cosmetic dentistry is my favorite. Life is too short not to smile, BIG!”
