As a dedicated and highly skilled dentist at Kusek Family & Implant Dentistry in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, he greatly enjoys impacting his patients through bettering their oral health, improving their self-confidence, guiding them to better understand their treatments and options, and helping them feel safe, seen, and heard.
Originally from Orange City, Iowa, he earned Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. During his dental education, Dr. Andy treated patients across all dental specialties (something he continues to do to this day) and received the collegiate merit award from the Academy of Oral Medicine, a distinction showing commitment to understanding the oral-systemic connection between dentistry and a patient’s overall health. In private practice, Dr. Andy enjoys carrying on this tradition through researching and understanding new ways in which what he does a dentist can positively impact not only oral health, but the whole body health of his patients.
Committed to being a life-long learner, Dr. Andy has completed over 800 hours of continuing education in just three years, which earned him the Fellowship status in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) in 2025.

How Did You Get into Dentistry?
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be involved in health care. I was drawn towards dentistry because it is a demanding technical field that also requires creativity and artistry. After shadowing multiple offices nearby, I was struck by the impact dental health had on patients’ lives. Having family members of my own who struggled with tooth related issues, I became committed to learning how to provide high-quality dental services to create positive experiences for my patients and be there for them like the dentist was for my family. After cultivating relationships with patients of my own, I am proud to say these experiences occur frequently and invigorate me to keep coming back for another day in this wonderful profession!
Tell Us About Your Family:
I met my wife, Kaela, while they we both attending the University of South Dakota. We were both involved in music ensembles, science classes, and the honors program together. We got married in Sioux Falls in 2019.
Currently, we have 3 children: a daughter (Vivian) and two sons (Dean and Gabe). Vivian has just about every princess costume to match the occasion, and has taken a liking to doing her hair and putting her makeup on just like mommy. Vivian attends preschool and is involved with gymnastics, ballet, and always has a craft going back at the house. When not busy with those, she likes to love on her brothers and enjoys teaching daddy how to play the new games she invented and occasionally a board game with me at night.
Dean is a cheerful spirit who smiles and giggles at pretty much everything. He has entered his chaotic phase where everything is super exciting to the point of needing to yell and run around as fast as possible, no matter what obstacles lay in his path. He loves the water and playing with bubbles, and he has made good friends with the monkeys and lions at the Sioux Falls Zoo! After a day of fun, Dean loves to snuggle up and watch a show or movie, especially if it is “Sing.”
Gabriel is always trying to keep up with his older siblings and wants to do everything they do. He learns quickly by watching and admiring his big sister. He enjoys playing catch and basketball with his large collection of balls and driving his toy cars all around the house. He loves his mom greatly and always wants to be by her, but fortunately he lets me sing him to sleep every night.
What Do You Do In Your Free Time?
- Free time = Dad Mode!! Our family loves to play outside, go to the zoo or butterfly house, visit the local parks, or simply enjoy quality time at home.
- I try to read when there is time in our busy schedules. I enjoy anything from sci-fi novels to textbooks!
- My wife and I are Chiefs fans, so you know what we’re doing on game days. We were fortunate enough to attend the AFC Championship in 2020 to watch the Superbowl winning team in Kansas City. Now we are passing on our love of the Chiefs to our children and we enjoy game days together.
- I played saxophone for the University of South Dakota and still enjoy playing from time to time. I am also a proud member of the local professional choir ensemble, Transept.
