Amanda Weyek DT

Dental Therapist

 

Amanda attended school at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and graduated with a Bachelors of Science, Dental Hygiene degree in 2015. Upon graduation, her and her family moved to Duluth and she started working at Virginia Family Dental. While working at VFD she fell in love with the area and the people in the community and decided to move to Virginia in 2018.

After the COVID pandemic, she witnessed many providers leave their practices for different reasons, which left many patients in the community without a dental home. She decided to go back to school to help alleviate some of the pressure that the dental shortage has created on the Iron Range. In 2020 she attended Minnesota State University Mankato and earned her Masters in Advanced Dental Therapy.

She has a passion for learning and for advocating for her patients. She has been an active member in the Minnesota Dental Hygiene Association and on a state level, served as President in 2019-2020, was a Board Member from 2016-2020, and on a federal level she has also served as a State Delegate from 2016-2019. Amanda and her husband Tim have three children, Brayden, Logan, and Peyton. They enjoy exploring different camping spots and spending time outdoors in the summer. In the winter you can find them at the local ice arenas or traveling somewhere warm.
