Dr. Loida was born and raised in Ste. Genevieve, MO where he grew up working at his family’s ag supply & service business and rooting for the Cardinals, Blues, and Mizzou Tigers. He went on to attend the University of Missouri-Columbia and graduated with honors. Following his undergraduate studies, Dr. Loida pursued his dental studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City where he earned his DDS. He then commissioned with the United States Air Force and completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Travis Air Force Base, CA to broaden his skills and knowledge in all areas of dentistry. Dr. Loida was then stationed at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, TX and completed four more years of active-duty service as a general dentist before leaving the military to move back home with his family.
Dr. Loida has a passion for providing care tailored toward his patients’ individual needs and desires and ensuring that they feel comfortable and informed about every step of their treatment. He would love to have the privilege to get to know you and assist you on your dental journey!
When not caring for his patients, Dr. Loida enjoys spending time with his wife Tori, his son Roman, and their dog Basil. He also loves connecting with family and friends, adventuring outdoors (hiking, skiing, biking, pickleballing and more), sipping bourbon, and cheering on his beloved sports teams, now including the Chiefs thanks to his time spent in KC! If you want to talk ball or BBQ, Dr. Loida is your guy!
I’ve known I wanted to be in the dental field since my first round of braces at age 12. I enjoy helping others love their smile and overcome dental anxiety. I married my best friend, Cory, in the Bahamas in 2018. Although I’ve always lived in the area, we put down roots and built our dream home in the woods in New Melle in 2021. We have two amazing fur babies Mac (a chocolate lab) and our rescue dog, Scout (a lab/collie mix). I love to travel, especially when the dogs can come along! I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and mushroom hunting in the spring.

Ashley has many accolades thanks to her high standard of care and excellent patient rapport.
