Dr. Jayson Ricks will be brightening smiles in our Bettendorf office. He grew up in the area around Colorado Springs, Colorado. Dr. Ricks, formally known as Mr. Ricks, received his undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado in History and his Master’s degree in Secondary Education at Colorado College. He then taught middle school history on a Native American Reservation and inner-city Denver for eight years before taking the leap into the world of dentistry, obtaining his degree at the University of Colorado again!
Teaching helped Dr. Ricks develop strong communication skills and a deep appreciation for helping others, which he now applies in his work as a dentist. He’s passionate about providing high-quality dental care and creating a comfortable, welcoming environment for patients of all ages.
In his free time, Dr. Ricks enjoys spending time outdoors, going on walks, and kayaking with his wife and two children. He also enjoys movies and traveling.
