Upon graduation of dental school, Dr. Kaba decided to switch up the scenery and move to Colorado where she would continue to pursue her career in dentistry. During her time there, she worked as an associate dentist in a ski resort town, as well as began working on her continuing education with the Spear Education Center.

With the knowledge she has gained over the years, it is Dr. Kaba’s main goal to provide patients with exceptional dentistry in a comfortable environment. The dentist may not be everyone’s favorite place, but it is her goal to make your experience unlike any other before. Growing up in a small town, hard work, honesty, and compassion were values engrained in her life. It is these values that have helped shape her into the practitioner she is today. 

Although Dr. Kaba enjoyed her time in the mountains, she has realized there is truly no place like home. When she is not in the office you can find her spending time at the lake, exercising, or probably enjoying way too many sweets (and of course brushing afterward). She and her husband Nick, have a Goldendoodle named Remy who is their pride and joy! Together they enjoy hiking, snow sports, traveling, and spending time with family.
