Kay Henry, DDS, PC
I grew up in Evanston and have two daughters, Jessica and Amanda. Jessica is a graphic designer and studying psychology. Amanda is a dentist. We are excited that Amanda works part time with us in Crystal Lake (she also works in Old Town), and Jessica helps us with our graphic design and website.
The desire for dentistry began as an assistant in my father’s dental office at the age of 16 and continued by going into dental hygiene. I graduated from the University of Texas Dental School in Houston.
We were happy to move back to Illinois shortly after dental school and have been practicing dentistry here ever since. The best part of dentistry is the relationships we build with our patients and the camaraderie we have among our team. Our team is kind and truly dedicated, but we do know how to have fun every day! We enjoy attending continuing education seminars throughout the year to learn new techniques so we can provide the best dentistry possible.
We strive to create a calming atmosphere where patients can feel both comfortable and confident. We all find creating beautiful smiles exciting.

Amanda Henry, DDS
I completed my undergraduate studies at Indiana University, where I studied biology, chemistry and psychology. I attended dental school at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Since graduating in 2012, I have been committed to furthering my education with Pankey, Spear, American Academy of Facial Esthetics and American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. I am also affiliated with the American Dental Association®.
As a dentist, I am dedicated to helping my patients of all ages achieve their healthiest, most beautiful smiles. I also enjoy helping patients sleep better as a member of a team approach to treating sleep apnea. I feel incredibly grateful to have my mother as my mentor and business partner, and am so proud of what we have built. Our staff and many of our patients feel like family-it is a joy to be in the office!
In my free time my husband and I wrangle two tiny humans and one small Aussiedoodle. They keep us on our toes and provide a lot of entertainment. My hobbies include yoga, learning Spanish, reading and traveling.
