Meet Dr. Jaime Preble! You may recognize Dr. Preble from when she covered Dr. Tripp's maternity leave. She will be joining our office a couple days a month working alongside Dr. Tripp.
Dr. Preble has enjoyed practicing dentistry in multiple capacities spanning over two decades. Graduating as a dental assistant from St. Cloud Technical College in the early 2000’s, she quickly realized her love for patients, and all things dentistry!
After undergraduate studies in Biomedical Science and Physical Chemistry at St. Cloud State University, she was accepted to the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. She graduated in 2013 with special recognition for Excellence in Prosthodontics, and Excellence in Patient Care. Upon graduation, she realized her dream of moving “up north”, where she landed in Pine River, MN with her husband, Jason, and her son, Easton. Within 2 years, they were joined by their second son, Emmot, and had purchased Pine River Dental Arts P.C.
During that time, Dr. Preble completed Implant Training through the Misch Implant Institute, advanced restorative and occlusion training through the Dawson Academy, and trained extensively in CAD/CAM restorations with Cerec Doctors. She currently serves on the Central Lakes College Dental Advisory Board, and does clinical contracting with Central Lakes College Dental Hygiene Program.
Her passion lies in creating beautiful art, including the art of dentistry, gardening, homeschooling her boys, tutoring in a local co-op, teaching junior high youth group, serving her family and community, and assisting people in achieving health. She also cares for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a flock of chickens.
