Originally from Columbia, MO, Dr. Ristow earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry and has spent the past three years practicing in the Kansas City area. His own dental experiences as a child inspired him to go into the profession. “When I was 12, I had a gap between my two front teeth that a crayon could fit through. It was affecting my speech, and my lisp only went away after orthodontic treatment helped me close it. I remember the feeling of getting my braces taken off quite well,” said Ristow. “My speech improved immediately and my confidence shot through the roof. It was truly a life changing event.” He hopes to be able to make a similar impact on his patients and the Lee’s Summit community.
