Above all, she is committed to her patients and to providing excellent care using evidence-based practice and innovative technology. She looks forward to creating confident smiles that last a lifetime.

A lifelong learner, Dr. Little takes continuing education classes and brings back the latest treatment techniques to everyday practice. Areas of continuing education that she is particularly passionate about include laser gingivectomy treatment, TADs and special needs care.

Originally from the St. Louis area, Dr. Little has lived in Missouri for most of her life, except when she attended Murray State in Kentucky. Dr Little is married to her college sweetheart, Jon, and their cozy family includes their adorable corgi and snuggly cat.

Outside of work, you can find Dr. Little exploring nature, hiking and cycling, visiting local coffee shops, cheering on the St. Louis Cards, Blues and City teams with her husband and diving into the pages of a new book at the library.
