About Our Practice

Dr. Veronica Tovar didn’t plan to build an airway-focused practice. For years, she did what most general dentists do: restorative care, TMD treatment, hygiene, and routine exams. But patterns began to emerge. Patients were tired, even with healthy mouths. Kids were clenching, mouth breathing, and waking at night. Many had been told nothing was wrong.
She started noticing it at home, too. Her own children had crowded teeth and tongue restrictions that hadn’t raised flags. Once she understood what to look for, everything changed. She retrained, restructured her approach, and began practicing with a deeper focus on breathing, growth, and functional wellness.
Today, every decision in the practice begins with a question: what is the root cause? Whether it’s airway orthodontics, oral appliance therapy, expansion, or muscle retraining, the goal is to support natural development and long-term function through care that meets each patient where they are.

Mission and Philsophy

This practice exists because too many people are told they’re fine when they know something feels off. Dr. Tovar experienced that with her own children. She heard it from families. She saw it in patients who had spent years treating symptoms without real answers.
Our mission is to offer care that looks beyond the surface. We study how breathing, sleep, development, and oral structure connect, and how imbalance in one area can affect everything else. By understanding the airway, the muscles, and how the tongue and jaws grow and function, we can treat the whole system, not just the symptoms.
Every consultation begins with clarity. That includes 3D imaging, sleep and health questionnaires, clinical photographs, and a conversation about your concerns and goals. We work collaboratively with specialists like myofunctional therapists and bodyworkers to support healing from every angle.

Dr. Veronica Tovar, DDS

With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Veronica Tovar brings a thoughtful, deeply personal approach to her work. Her path in dentistry began after growing up in Kenosha, where she graduated from Mary D. Bradford High School, and later from Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2001. In 2008, she built her practice from the ground up with a vision of creating something more intentional, more connected, and more patient-centered.

Dr. Tovar is, at her core, a lifelong learner. She is constantly seeking new knowledge and perspectives to better serve her patients, completing advanced training in full mouth rehabilitation, complex TMD care, cosmetic dentistry, and airway focused treatment. Her continued education includes work with the Dawson Academy, The Breathe Institute, the Coulson Institute, Airway Health Solutions, Myomunchee, and Vivos Therapeutics. Her airway journey began in 2019 and continues to evolve as she follows emerging research and collaborates with like minded professionals.

What truly shapes Dr. Tovar's care is not only her clinical training, but her personal perspective. As a mother of three daughters, she approaches each patient with the same level of attention, care, and advocacy she would want for her own family. She understands how easily concerns can be overlooked and how difficult it can be to find clear answers when something does not feel right.

Outside of the office, Dr. Tovar enjoys spending time with her family, staying active through golf and workouts, and playing the violin when she can find the time. She feels deeply grateful for the path she is on and views her work as a calling, one rooted in service, humility, and a genuine desire to help others.

Dr. Tovar is honored by the trust her patients place in her. She is committed to listening closely, thinking critically, and doing everything she can to guide each person toward better health.
