Without further ado, here are your hard-working dentists!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Meet the Dentists at Williamsburg Dental<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Michael Kotopka <\/strong>\u2013 As a former captain in the U.S. Air Force with over 20 years of experience in the dental field, Dr. Kotopka has seen quite a lot in his career. Him and his wife Ann are more than preoccupied by their seven children, but he always finds time to practice his golf swing and hit the Lincoln trail on his downtime.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Amy Wenninghoff<\/strong> \u2013 Prior to earning her dental education, Dr. Wenninghoff lived in North Dakota, where she also earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in Spanish. She\u2019s a proud mother and wife who enjoys time outdoors when she\u2019s not helping her neighbors craft their beautiful new smile.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Benjamin Gessford<\/strong> \u2013 During his time at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Dr. Gessford helped his football team (Go Huskers!) win three national championships as an offensive lineman. Today, he\u2019s a proud husband and father of two beautiful boys.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Malika \u201cMimi\u201d Mebarek Long<\/strong> \u2013 Dr. Mimi is originally from Kansas, but she\u2019s proud to call Lincoln her new hometown. As a volunteer with the Junior League of Women, she\u2019s proud to be able to support the advancement of women and children in the community. She\u2019s happily married to her husband and enjoys spending time with friends, bike riding and baking.<\/li>\n<li><strong> James \u201cColt\u201d Beddes<\/strong> \u2013 Dr. Colt Beddes is an expert when it comes to oral surgery. During his time at the UNMC College of Dentistry, he received an award for his work revolving around implant dentistry. Today, he enjoys the great outdoors, bird watching and raising his four beautiful children with his wife.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Andre Rossini<\/strong> \u2013 Originally from Brazil, Dr. Rossini has been living in Lincoln for about 10 years now. When he\u2019s not in the office, you can also find him volunteering his dental skills at the Lincoln People\u2019s City Mission Free Medical Clinic and Nebraska\u2019s Mission of Mercy. Him and his wife are happy to call Lincoln their new home while they raise their daughter.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Danielle Wasielewski<\/strong> \u2013 On top of her dental schooling, Dr. Waz is regularly continuing her education in a wide variety of dental topics. When she\u2019s not creating highly catered treatment plans for her patients, she\u2019s spending time at home with her husband and two kids and digging into a good book!<\/li>\n<li><strong> Alyssa LeBoeuf<\/strong> \u2013 After being born without front teeth and going through many dental treatments, Dr. LeBoeuf realized she had an intense passion for dentistry. After graduating from the Creighton School of Dentistry, she went on to become certified in Invisalign\u00ae Treatment and NOMAD X-ray technology. She\u2019s married to her husband Johnny and enjoys live music, tie-dying and spending time outside.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Callie Krajicek<\/strong> \u2013 Last but certainly not least is Dr. Krajicek, who grew up in Lincoln and attended the Creighton University School of Dentistry. Her passion for art and creativity combined with her desire to help people achieve a beautiful smile made dentistry the perfect choice for her career. She enjoys reading, listening to podcasts, hiking and a hot cup of coffee!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Let Us Know How We\u2019re Doing!<\/h2>\n<p>Got an experience you want to share?
