Dr. Krista Beseda, DDS, FAGD
Born and raised in Denver Colorado, Krista attended Colorado College where she studied Geology and Anthropology. Her passion for dentistry was realized after a fall left her with a broken jaw and broken teeth. Through that experience and a long restoration, she realized she could truly help people navigate some complex and potentially scary treatment with empathy and compassion.
Dr. Beseda attended Dental School at University of Colorado in Aurora where she participated in a service trip to Guatemala to provide dentistry to children, and upon graduation she was honored with membership to the OKU dental honor society. She was accepted into a year long residency at the University of Colorado to advance her training in complex general dentistry. Although extremely challenging, Krista considers that year one of the most valuable of her dental career, giving her extensive experience in complex dentistry, implants, hospital and special needs dentistry. Following residency, she spent 4 years in private practices in Longmont and Fort Collins continuing to grow and shape her practice philosophy. In July of 2020, she completed her Fellowship in general dentistry, requiring over 500 hours of continuing education and a formal exam. She serves her community by helping in identification cases at the coroners office in the field of forensic odontology and by participating in the Dental Lifeline Network, a non-profit helping to provide dental treatment to local elderly and homeless with reduced access to care.
Krista and her husband Taylor have a white German shepherd named Naga. Outside of the dental office, Dr Beseda can be found competing in triathlons, reading, hiking fourteeners, playing soccer, volunteering at the animal shelter, running with Naga, skiing and camping with her husband. She also enjoys eating Taylor’s delicious home cooking and exploring foreign countries.
Dentistry is about the health of your whole body and mind, not just your teeth. It is about teamwork between patient and doctor and the whole team of caring professionals at Sanitas family dentistry. We would be honored to work with you to meet your healthcare goals.
