OUR FAMILY

Meet the Dentist

Jallad (The Dentist)

Hello and welcome

To WEEKEND DENTAL!

My name is Jallad

(pronounced Jull-Lad,

like the "good lad")

My family and I have been fortunate to call southern Illinois home since 2014.

I have master's degree in restorative dentistry from Indiana University, and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (DDS) from Jordan University. I practice general dentistry since 2004.

I am an active member of our dental societies that advocate on behalf of my patients and profession. (ADA, ISDS and SIDS)

My goals are simple, treat everyone with love and respect, because what goes around, comes around.

My motto: They wouldn't care about how much I know until they know about how much I care.

Meet Kelsie

Hi, I’m Kelsie! 👋.

I was born and raised here in Southern Illinois. I completed my bachelors degree at the University of Missouri- Columbia in 2020. Shortly after graduating, I found myself back in my hometown.

I have two dogs who keep me lots of company. Nina, a Great Dane, who loves all of the attention and snuggles. Winston, an English Mastiff, who is spoiled and knows it very well.

I have a passion for bringing out confidence in others. I believe that is what brought my interest to the dental industry. I am also a freelance makeup artist in my free time. There is nothing like seeing the smile of a patient after they get a new set of dentures, or the smile of a client after seeing themselves with a fresh face of makeup. Everyone deserves to feel confident and love themselves to the fullest.

My favorite quote is : “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” - Mae West

Meet Dara

H i , m y n a m e i s D a r a ! 👋

Originally from Alaska, my family moved to Southern illinois after I graduated high school. I have always had a desire to help people and at Weekend Dental I found a love for dentistry.

I studied through career step and acquired certification in AMP, ICE & RHS.

I have three amazing children and a wonderful husband. Together we enjoy family game night and the outdoors.

Having compassion and respect for others is something I strive to model for my children. And those I believe are important in dentistry too...

I am grateful to be part of this family and look forward to helping our guests anyway I can.

See you there 👋

Meet Jacy

H i , I'm Jacy! 👋

I have lived in Southern Illinois my whole life. After I graduated high school I spent awhile traveling, visiting family, and just enjoying life. I have two cats, they are my pride and joy.

I’ve had a strong desire to help people ever since I was little.

I discovered I could help people through being a dental assistant!

I love helping people feel heard and more confident. My goal is to make dental visits feel easy!

I am elated to be added to the Weekend Dental family, to continue learning new things daily and helping our patients!

Meet Kelsea

H i , I'm Kelsea! 👋

I was raised here in Southern Illinois, I have a wonderful 6 year old son, and a pup named Brandy. I stay pretty busy with him, our dog, as well as visiting friends, family, and traveling. In my free time I go to concerts, travel, and make as many memories as I can with my little one!

I’ve loved teeth since I was young, shortly after high school I found myself in the dental field and haven’t looked back since! I love meeting new people along the way and helping them find their smile.

I’m so grateful to be working here at Weekend Dental. I love this atmosphere and love being able to be apart of making a patient feel confident in their smile!

Remember, you’re never fully dressed without a SMILE!
