Dr. Nicole Medley

Dr. Medley was born and raised in Excelsior Springs. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in 2008. She then practiced dentistry in Sedalia, Missouri, from 2008 to 2014, before she bought an existing dental practice from Dr. Edward Cable. Dr. Medley is a member of SPEAR continuing education, the American Association of Facial Esthetics, and the American Dental Association®. It is her goal as a dentist to serve her patients at the highest level possible.

Dr. Medley started her career in dentistry as a dental assistant. She decided to become a dentist while working as an assistant in an office in Liberty. Initially, she decided to get into dentistry because her boss at the time told her she couldn’t. Dr. Medley continued dental assisting as much as possible through dental school.

After graduating, she started her Career at Katy Trail Community Health in Sedalia, Missouri, as their Chief Dental Officer. While at Katy Trail, she helped build 2 stationary dental clinics, a school based portable equipment clinic, and a dental RV. She supervised 6 dentists and 3 hygienists. At Katy Trail Community Health, she mostly treated children and the uninsured.

In 2014, she bought a practice on Truman Road, from Dr. Edward Cable. Initially, she renovated part of the inside of the building. The outside was renovated in 2016 and the inside was finally finished in 2021. In 2020, Dr. Medley became a member of the American Association of Facial Esthetics. This has allowed Dr. Medley to administer Botox injections for facial lines and wrinkles, TMJ pain, migraine pain, and also trigger point pain. In early 2021, Dr. Medley and the staff took several courses offered by Awaken To Sleep. This has allowed Dr. Medley and her team to screen for suspected sleep disorders. Dr. Medley invested in 2 machines to administer at home sleep tests. She works with a sleep M.D. to interpret the results and formulate a treatment plan. From there, most cases can be treated with an oral appliance instead of a CPAP.
