I was terrified of having any dental work done. But Angela was such a sweetheart and Leeann did an amazing job extracting my tooth. Absolutely the best dental experience I've ever had. Also the best experience in Brookings, SD period.

I Love my experiences at Embrace! My kids are so well cared for! I leave feeling my teeth are not just clean, but I am more educated about dental health. Plus my hygienist calculated my expenses before I left, so I knew what to expect in my bill. No surprises.​

meet the doctors

DR. HILLARY VAN DYKE

​Dr. Hillary Van Dyke's passion for dentistry began in high school, when her local dentist offered her an opportunity to observe and assist at a dental clinic. From that very first job, the field of dentistry inspired her to be an asset and leader in the community.

When not discussing dentistry, she enjoys running, breakaway roping, baking, and quilting. She and her husband, Kevin, also enjoy spending time at home with their horses, cats, and other animal friends in Elkton, SD.

Dr. Van Dyke pursued her undergrad in chemistry at South Dakota State University while graduating Cum Laude in 2010. Afterwards, she attended the UNMC College of Dentistry which furthered her love of dentistry as she was able to interact with patients to create a one-on-one relationship and provide them with smile changing care. After receiving her doctorate, Dr. Van Dyke continued her education by attending the Academy of Laser Dentistry and the Invisalign Assist continuing education program.

DR. LEEANN DIERCKS

Dr. Leeann Diercks had an interest in healthcare as early as high school as she worked as a Certified Nurse Assistant. Dr. Diercks wanted to choose a career where she could build relationships and assist others in improving their health. It became clear dentistry was the perfect avenue to utilize her artistic skills and passion for health and science.

When not working, you will find Dr. Leeann spending time with her husband Brady and three children, Liam, Lucy, and Hattie. They love spending time in the community supporting the local Bobcats and Jackrabbits! Leeann also enjoys running road races, bike rides, and walks to the park with her kids.

Dr. Diercks attended the University of South Dakota for her undergraduate studies and earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the Ohio State University.

DR. ANNE "ANNIE" STEFFEN

Dr. Anne “Annie” Steffen’s journey in leadership and caring for others began on her parent’s farm outside of Flandreau, SD. She grew up second of nine children, and was continually guiding and helping her younger siblings. 

Dr. Steffen pursued her undergraduate degrees in nursing and Spanish at Augustana University, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2015. She practiced as a registered nurse in emergency and cardiac care for 5 years before attending UNMC College of Dentistry. Combining the highest quality patient care and attention to detail, Dr. Anne is ecstatic about her career in dentistry. 

In her free time, she enjoys quality family time with her husband, Jake, and two daughters, Navy and Nova. They love long walks with their dog, Leia, park time, and adventures at the farm where Anne grew up. Dr. Anne and her family are avid supporters of Jackrabbit athletics. Go Jacks!
