Meet The Team

Alicia J. Willette

DDS, PC

Dr. Alicia Willette grew up in Easton, MN, a rural farming community in southern Minnesota. Growing up on a farm and being part of a large family gave Dr. Willette an appreciation for community and nature. She was drawn to the Upper Valley because of the beauty, wonderful healthy lifestyle, and educational opportunities for herself and her family. Dr. Willette, her husband and three children, enjoy being outside gardening, going for nature walks, playing ball and reading. Dr. Willette’s hobbies include photography, traveling, and cooking. She enjoys many of the activities the area has to offer such as running, cycling, cross country and downhill skiing, hiking, and rowing. Dr. Willette has a passion for dentistry; she loves to learn more about specific dental techniques and design.
