We're so proud of our Team, we wanted to brag about them...
You've already heard a bit about our doctor, Jessica Nieva, now meet our fabulous team:
Hi, I'm Abram (Abe), the Treasurer of Jessica C. Nieva DDS, P.C., Co-CEO of A & A Dental Advisors, L.L.C. (A Local Dental Professional Education Business), and an Independent Consultant for area Dentists. I have been around the business of dentistry nearly my whole life. My father owned a very successful dental supply and equipment company in Springfield, MO for many years, where he worked with dentists and their staff to improve dental care. In my time at this office, I am dedicated to making sure that the patients' experiences are rewarding. For fun, Abe enjoys golfing, wishing he was a race car driver, and spending time with his wife and two beautiful daughters.
Hi, I'm Denise, the Office Manager for Dr. Nieva. With over 15 years experience as a manager for both orthodontic and general dentistry offices, I have a passion for all aspects of the dental field. Aside from patient care, I also love numbers and anything financial. When I'm not paying bills or doing treatment plans, you can bet I'm working on marketing and fun events for the patients! I feel very lucky to have found this office and have the opportunity to work for a doctor as passionate about dentistry as Dr. Nieva! My husband, Mike and I live in St. Peters and have 3 children, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law-to-be and 2 grand dogs (patiently waiting for grandkids)! I love trying new recipes, party planning and spending time with my family.
Hi, I'm Cara, the Patient Care Coordinator for Dr. Nieva. I graduated from Missouri College in 2006 as a Certified Dental Assistant and am a member of the American Dental Assistants Association. With a background in dentistry of over 5 years, I am here to help the patients in any way I can, from understanding their insurance benefits to arranging an appointment that best suits their busy schedule. I love people and feel a sense of satisfaction when I am able to help our patients find a way to afford the dental treatment they need and want. In my spare time I love to cook, work out and relax at home with my husband, whom I lovingly refer to as "Stud Muffin Mr. P"!
Hi, I'm Gina, one of Fenton Family Dentistry's Registered Dental Hygienist. I have an Associate's Degree from Forest Park Community College and am honored to work with Dr. Nieva as well as all of the other team members. I am a member of the Greater St. Louis Dental Hygiene Association, the Missouri Dental Hygiene Association and the American Dental Hygiene Association. I have always wanted to work in the dental profession and feel my career is not only rewarding, but also exciting. My passion is making patients smile as well as helping them achieve an excellent standard of oral health through education and support.
I enjoy spending time with my family and my cocker spaniel, Jack. I am enrolled at UMKC and working towards a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene and excited to become a positive influence on the dental hygiene community.
Hi, I'm Mary Anne, one of Fenton Family Dentistry's Registered Dental Hygienists. I grew up in St. Louis and am the youngest of seven kids. I've always known I wanted to work in the dental field, as my father is a dentist and I always admired his work. After attending John F. Kennedy Catholic High School, where I met my husband, we both attended Missouri State University. I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Biology and later went to Dental Hygiene school at Forest Park Community College, allowing me to do what I love most! In my spare time I enjoy playing indoor soccer and spending time with my husband and my Goldendoodle, Charlie Mac!
Hi, I'm Candace, Dr. Nieva's dental assistant. I was born and raised in Iowa, but moved to the St. Louis area 8 years ago. I graduated from Missouri College in 2006 as a Certified Dental Assistant and have furthered my education in the dental field by receiving my Expanded Functions in Restorative and Prosthetics certification. Additionally, I am certified by the State of Missouri to monitor Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen Analgesia. Although I have worked in several areas of the dental field, I enjoy assisting the best Doctor ever and interacting with the patients. My concern is that the patients are well informed and all their needs are met. I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 kids. I also love the Cubs and am a huge Blues fan!
Candice is our newest member, she is also a dental assistant! Her bio and photo will be posted soon, however we have some team photos (Cassie is on the far right):

Top 10 Reasons To Give Us a Try!
Looking for a new dental office? Tired of waiting to be seen? Tired of taking off work or school for your appointments? Have anxiety about seeing the dentist? Check out our Top 10 Reasons (in no particular order of importance) you should be coming to Fenton Family Dentistry!
1) Dr. Nieva - Not only are her skills and experience top notch, she brings much more to the dental experience. From general dentistry to full veneers, she can do it all! Dr. Nieva's outgoing and caring personality makes her patients feel like family. She loves DENTISTRY and the smile on her face will lighten anyone's mood in an instant. And if you happen to be hearing impaired and need to communicate with sign language, she is able to do that as well!
2) Atmosphere - Dr. Nieva has personally designed her office to have a warm, comfortable feel. Instead of walking into a stuffy office, imagine walking into your friend's living room. The aromatherapy scents and smell of fresh ground coffee is all you will notice, no dental smell here.
3) Advanced Technology - Our office uses all the latest technology to better diagnose your treatment. Digital xrays, intraoral pictures of your teeth and SoPro technology will give you a complete look at your oral health as the doctor explains your dental needs. Additionally, we are able to confirm your appointment or provide valuable information regarding our practice's events and specials via email and texts. We use our website, Facebook and Twitter to keep our patient's informed as well.
4) Family is Our Middle Name - At Fenton Family Dentistry, we take the word family seriously. There is no need to run all over town to each family member's doctors, we are happy to see all ages, from 1 to 100! Our doctor and hygienists are super kid friendly and use all the best techniques and videos to calm and empower your child. Before your child starts his/her appointment they will watch a fun video that explains everything that will be done during their visit. After the appointment they will get to pick a toy from the treasure chest, along with their tooth brushing accessories and fun glasses!
5) No Reason to Be Nervous - We understand that many people stay away from the dentist due to fear or anxiety. We have done our best to make that fear a thing of the past. In addition to our homey atmosphere, no dental smell and friendly team members, we offer comfy blankets, movies or music and FREE nitrous (laughing gas) to calm your nerves. We have had many patients even fall asleep during their procedures! How's that for comfort and anxiety-free?
6) Knowledgeable, Skilled and Friendly Team - Dr. Nieva goes to great lengths to hire the most skilled, experienced and friendly staff. Her interview process is done over a 14 day period to allow time to make sure that each team member is a great fit! Each team member is encouraged to keep up with the latest technology and education available, at her expense. The team members are happy to answer all your questions and take a personal interest in each patient's needs. To top it off, we greet each patient by name when they walk in the door. Even if we've never met you, chances are it will still happen!
7) Fun and Charitable - Each month our office has great contests, events and donates to different charities. All our kids without cavities can enter our "No Cavity Club" and have their name entered into a drawing each month for great prizes. Their pictures are also displayed on our office "patient board". We have picture drawing contests, costume contests, etc. We love to involve our patients in helping us give to local charities, such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the Circle of Concern and the Missouri Valley Blood Center. Come check out our office and join the Fun!
8) Convenient Hours - Unlike most medical or dental offices, we ARE open early mornings, evenings and Saturdays. We will do whatever we can to accommodate your work or school schedule. Due to the huge amount of requests we get for these hours, it may take a couple weeks to accommodate, however if you are able to make a late morning or mid day appointment, we can get you scheduled almost immediately AND all emergencies are seen the same day!
9) No Waiting - Tired of waiting in the reception area at your doctor or dentist's office? That won't happen at Fenton Family Dentistry. We pride ourselves on being on time, all the time! We know your time is valuable and you have better things to do than wait. More often than not, you will barely have a chance to sit down with your favorite magazine!
10) Treatment Fees - Our fees are competitive and reasonable compared to most dental offices in the St. Louis area. Even without dental insurance you can afford your dental treatment. If you have extensive work that needs to be completed, we are happy to offer 3rd party financing options and will do our best to customize your treatment plan in a way that you can truly afford it.
11) CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS! and see for yourself how our patients feel about us!

Who Opened the Time Capsule...Circa 2008 (Posted by Denise)
While doing some searches for Dr. Nieva on Google, I found this article in the South County Times about her practice opening in 2008. Look at her picture, I barely recognize her!
Dr. Jessica Nieva is stepping out on her own; opening her own dentist office after seven years as an associate in various private offices.
Nieva opened her new office, Fenton Family Dentistry, on Oct. 15 at 522 Old Smizer Road in Fenton. Nieva said the seven years she spent working in other offices helped her gain the knowledge and experience to strike out on her own.
Her new office offers state of the art equipment, Saturday hours and spa-like treatment, Nieva said.
Services include cleaning, fillings, crowns, root canals and whitening among other services.
Fenton Family Dentistry is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
For more information or to schedule an appointment call (636) 326-7633 or visit www.fenton-familydentistry.com.

Get to know your Doctor (and Owner) - Jessica Nieva, D.D.S.
My name is Jessica Nieva Whitehead, the owner of Fenton Family Dentistry, in Fenton, Missouri. I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO with my 3 other siblings. My family is very close and we all live within 10 miles of each other. My father is a retired anesthesiologist, whose present full time job is babysitting his 4 grandchildren, two of which are my daughters.
I returned home after college to be close to my family, along with my sister, Joy, who became a pediatrician and psychiatrist, and my brother, Danny, who is an anesthesiologist at Children's Hospital. I then completed further dentistry training and completed my General Practice Residency at Washington University/Barnes Jewish Hospital in 2002.
On October 15, 2005, while working as an associate at a local dental office, I married my dream soulmate, Abe. After 6 years of associateship and exactly three years after I got married I was able to open my dream practice, Fenton Family Dentistry, where I have worked hard to make the office a warm, comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
Abe and I have two beautiful daughters, Alexandria Jane, born January 23, 2009 and Annabella Joy, born February 24, 2011. Aren't they beautiful!!
I have many hobbies including running, shopping, exploring new places with my family, traveling and crafts. I am a huge Cardinal's fan as you may see from time to time in my office. I am truly loving life. I feel blessed by a wonderful family, fabulous friends, excellent office family and awesome patients!
