About Elm Ridge Implant and Family Dentistry Dr. Kayla is a hometown girl, raised in Belton, TX. Dr. Jeff was born and raised in Arizona, but claimed Texas as his home after meeting Dr. Kayla at Abilene Christian University, where they both attended and completed their undergraduate studies. They actually met while serving as volunteers on a Dental mission trip in rural Guatemala, where they discovered their shared passion for helping others. They both attended dental school at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry. Since graduating, they've worked in Oklahoma, but always had their hearts set on returning to Central Texas and could not be more excited that they're finally home.
