Meet The Team
Dr. Glen Wainwright, DDS
Dr. Glen Wainwright has over 25 years of experience as a general dentist.
Dr. Wainwright takes a gentle approach to dentistry. He has a passion for getting to know each patient on a personal level and easing any concerns they have by providing valuable patient education. He is a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Dentistry and a member of the prestigious Dawson Academy.
Dr. Wainwright has enjoyed being part of the Westlake community over the past 20 years, where he raised two children in the Eanes school district, that have graduated from Westlake High School and both have moved on to the University of Oklahoma. He loves being outdoors, discovering new places in the Austin area, rusty old cars that need renovation, his chickens and beloved koi pond. He and his wife Kristie are entering a new chapter of life called empty-nesting. They are looking forward to new ventures such as pickle ball, travel, ranch life and many OU football games that seem to be on the horizon!
Kristie - Office Manager
Kristie has been a member of the Austin Dental Care team from Day 1 (and happily married to Dr. Wainwright for even longer!)
As the Office Coordinator (& resident mama bear), she loves taking care of our team and interacting with our patients on a daily basis. Although Kristie is a native Texan, she attended the University of Kansas and has been an avid Jayhawk fan ever since. However, with a daughter & son at the University of Oklahoma, the Sooners have become a new favorite, especially during football season! She and Dr. Wainwright have enjoyed all that Austin has to offer for over 25 years, including raising two awesome kids in the Eanes school district, and faithfully cheering for the Chaps on Friday nights!
Joan - Dental Assistant
Joan grew up in the small town of Yoakum, Texas and moved to Austin in 2001 to pursue her career in dentistry. She has been in dentistry for over 25 years and has loved being able to help people over the years with all of their dental needs and achieve their goals of changing their smiles.
Joan has 3 children, Katelyn 21, a senior at The University of Texas, Robert 19, a sophomore at The University of Texas, and Jack 9, a fourth grader. Joan is always on the go with her children’s activities, and you can usually find her on the baseball field. Her family also loves spending time with their golden retriever Ben!
Jenna - Dental Hygienist
Jenna is originally from Connecticut, where she lived her whole life, until she decided she wanted a new adventure and moved to Austin in 2023! Jenna has been a practicing dental hygienist for over 10 years and has worked in the dental field for 16 years. Jenna loves making special connections with her patients and helping them excel in their home care techniques.
In her free time, she loves exploring and adventuring with Winston, her 4 year old golden retriever. She loves being outdoors whether it to be a hike, paddleboard, swim, ski, snowboard, or just relaxing with family and friends. Fun Fact: Jenna also owns a self-serve paddle board & kayak company!
Lauren - Hygiene Coodinater
Lauren was born and raised right here in Austin. When she’s not spending time with her 4 kids and their very busy schedules, she enjoys true crime podcasts and documentaries. She has been in the dental field for the better part of a decade.
Lauren loves getting to know her patients and prides herself on remarkable customer service.

Melissa - Dental Assistant
Melissa, a Texas native with roots in New Mexico, has called the vibrant city of Austin home for the past five years. With over 12 years of experience as a dental assistant, she ensures every patient feels comfortable and cared for from the moment they enter our office.
Outside of work, Melissa loves spending time with her puppy, exploring new restaurants, attending concerts, and cherishing moments with her family.
Giving back to the community is a very important part of Dr. Wainwright's life.
He serves regularly on Mobile Loaves & Fishes runs, and in February of 2016, he was able to participate in a medical mission trip to Guatemala.
He and his daughter, Kate were given the opportunity to serve many adults and children along with several other doctors from the Austin area with Christian Medical Missions. He feels that giving back and caring for those in need is an essential part of life.
