Meet Dr. Zentz

Dr. Mehak Zentz was raised in the Seattle area and was fortunate to attend the University of Washington for both her undergraduate and dental training. While in dental school, she met her now-husband, Ryan, and after graduation, they moved across the mountains to the Tri-Cities — and haven’t looked back since!

For Dr. Zentz, dentistry has always been about more than just teeth — it’s about people, trust, and building lasting relationships. She is passionate about helping patients feel at ease in the dental chair and believes that every person deserves compassionate, judgment-free care in a space where they feel truly heard.

At Kennewick Dental, Dr. Zentz brings that same passion to her practice, focusing on creating positive experiences and providing the highest quality of dental care possible. Whether it’s easing dental anxiety, explaining treatment options, or celebrating a healthy smile, she values the human connections she makes as much as the dentistry itself.

In addition to English, Dr. Zentz also speaks some Spanish and Hindi/Punjabi, which allows her to connect more personally with patients from diverse backgrounds and help them feel even more comfortable during their visits.

When she isn’t creating smiles in the office, Dr. Zentz treasures being “Mama” to her two daughters, as family is at the heart of who she is. She also enjoys baking sourdough, tending to her houseplant jungle, spending time with friends, exploring the outdoors, and discovering new foods. Having called the Tri-Cities home for over a decade, Dr. Zentz is grateful for her strong community ties and is excited to continue building them with her team at Kennewick Dental.
