Dr. Ariel Espinoza Thorpe
Dr. Ariel Espinoza Thorpe grew up in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, she attended dental school at Marquette University in Wisconsin.
Dr. Espinoza Thorpe’s passion for dentistry started at a young age after one of her dental appointments. The Dentist informed her she needed seven baby teeth removed during her next visit and Dr. Ariel went home and pulled out all seven teeth herself that night! After attending multiple mission trips, she realized she could combine her passion for dentistry with providing care to those in need. When Ariel’s mom would drop her off at school every morning she would tell her to: “try and make a difference and make someone smile today.” Ariel truly took that to heart and continues to strive every day to do just that.
When she isn’t seeing our incredible patients in the office, you can find her loving on her adorable three children! She also loves to serve in the children’s ministry at church, eat anything and everything from Chick-fil-A, and is a big football fan (Go Cowboys and Hook ‘Em Horns!)
