Meet Dr. Amber Kreko

Dr. Amber Kreko was born and raised in south Louisiana right outside of Baton Rouge. So of course, she is a die-hard LSU fan. GEAUX TIGERS!

Dr. Kreko graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. She then attended LSU School of Dentistry for her dental hygiene degree. She worked in private practice for 6 years as a dental hygienist prior to returning to LSU to pursue her dental degree where she also received an honors in teaching. With a passion for treating periodontal disease already instilled in her from dental hygiene, she pursued a residency in periodontics, again at LSU, earning her Master’s degree.

Dr. Kreko has been involved in multiple dental communities beginning in dental hygiene school where she was the District VI Student Delegate and later served the Louisiana Dental Hygienists’ Association as Vice President while in private practice. She served in multiple positions in dental school in the American Student Dental Association, Interprofessional Student Alliance, and Student Professionalism and Ethics Association. She is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology, Southwest Society of Periodontist, and American Dental Association.

Dr. Kreko married her wonderful husband, Michael, in Disney World which is one of their favorite places to travel. They have a son and two dogs (a catahoula and a Scottish terrier). In her spare time, Dr. Kreko enjoys reading, doing puzzles, and traveling.
