Meet the Team at Scott Family Dentistry

Jessie Scott, DDS

Dentist

Dr. Jessie Scott grew up in Hawarden, Iowa, and frequently visited Yankton as a child while on family vacations. She fell in love with the area and the people and ultimately decided to make this her permanent home. Dr. Scott attended Winona State University in Winona, MN for her undergraduate degree in biology. She then went on to attend the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis to achieve her Doctor of Dental Science degree.

Dr. Scott is a current member of the Academy of General Dentistry, American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatric Dentists, and the South Dakota Dental Association. She is also Invisalign certified and certified to provide BOTOX Cosmetic.

When asked why she chose dentistry as a profession, Dr. Scott had this to say:

"I chose dentistry to make a difference in people's lives. Dentistry is about more than teeth. I love art and creating with my hands; dentistry allows me to do that. I love creating relationships with families in my community. It is the greatest compliment when a patient returns to trust me with their children or parents. I love helping people take charge of their health and educating them on their oral condition. Being a dentist allows me to make positive memories for my patients instead of the negative associations so many people have in their dental history."

When she is away from the office, you can find Dr. Scott spending quality time with her husband Matt and her three children, Sean, Meagan, and Claire. She also enjoys hiking, running, travel, waterskiing, arts, crafts, baking, and watching her active kids grow.

Amanda is originally from Huron, South Dakota, and earned her degree in dental hygiene from the University of South Dakota. She joined Scott Family Dentistry in 2008.
