The hands-on training that I received in my years of school has enabled me to provide effective and accurate treatment to my patients. At the completion of my orthodontic training, I was awarded the Clinical Excellence Award. In addition, I furthered my knowledge by attending continuing education courses to keep up on the latest advancements in my field.

Dr. Caroline Kacer
I was raised in Tucson, Arizona most of my life. I attended the University of Arizona and received my Bachelors in Science in the area of Physiology with a minor in chemistry. My pursuit to follow in my father’s footsteps as an oral surgeon led me to continue my career by attending dental school at Case Western Reserve University where I met my husband and bought my first real winter coat and boots. I had a passion of helping people and being part of a community that helps people smile. After finishing my DMD I attended Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY to complete my residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It was here that I gained my knowledge in facial trauma and specialty in wisdom teeth extraction and implants. During all the long hours in school I was still able to squeeze in some yoga classes and some amazing Broadway shows.

Dr. Trevor Cubra
I’m excited to join this outstanding team dedicated to providing exceptional dental care. Originally from Columbus, Ohio, I received my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Ohio State University. Recently, I relocated to Tucson to be closer to my family in Phoenix and to serve the vibrant community of Tucson.
My approach to dentistry is rooted in trust, compassion, and a commitment to excellence. I stay at the forefront of dental technology, utilizing the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure my patients receive the highest quality care. From digital imaging and CAD/CAM dentistry to minimally invasive procedures, I am equipped to handle a wide range of dental issues with precision and efficiency.
As a dentist, my focus is on emergency and preventive care, ensuring that my patients receive comprehensive treatment tailored to their unique needs. I believe in working closely with my patients, listening to their concerns, and developing personalized care plans that make them feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. My goal is to provide the same level of care and compassion that I would offer my own family members.

Outside the office, I am passionate about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. As a triathlete, I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, golfing, swimming, biking, and running. My wife and I also love cooking and eating healthy meals together. We share our home with our adorable 7-pound dog, Gio, who always looks like a teddy bear and brings joy to our lives.

Born and raised in Western Washington, my family moved to Tucson in 2000. Shortly after moving to Arizona, I attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Still, I found myself back in Tucson after receiving my bachelor’s degree. At the time, I was bent on living in cold places and moved to Minnesota to get my degree in dental hygiene. I survived two Minnesota winters and came back to Tucson in 2010 with a new appreciation for the desert and ready to take the dental world by storm.
My dental hygiene experience includes periodontics and general dentistry. My favorite aspect of dentistry is the variety of people I meet. I enjoy spending time with friends and family in my downtime and trying local restaurants. I am looking forward to meeting you at DentalPros!

I was born and raised in New York City. After Graduating from the Jones School of Dental Hygiene in 2019, I moved to Saint Louis, MO with my husband, where I began my career in Dental Hygiene. Seeking new opportunities, we relocated to Tucson in 2022.
Outside of the dental office, I love spending time with my husband, our daughter, and our two small dogs, Nico and Nova. I also indulge in various hobbies, including painting, calligraphy and crocheting. Additionally, I have a passion for traveling and trying different cuisines.
As my patient I will strive to empower you to achieve optimal oral health through customized patient education that compliments your lifestyle; I am eager to provide you with a sparkling clean and healthy smile each and every visit.
