Dr. Trierweiler grew up in Grand Rapids, graduating in 2005 from Forest Hills Northern. She and her husband continue to live on the northeast side of Grand Rapids with their daughter Ellie, son Gabe, and their dog Remy. As a family, they love spending time outdoors—enjoying hiking, trips to parks, and time at family cottages. She is actively involved as a member of Ada Bible Church and loves yoga, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

“With my aunt as my hygienist, I was fortunate to grow up loving dental visits. That spark of enjoyment, along with my love for both science and working with my hands, led me to dentistry. As a practitioner, I aim to bring that same family feel that I received growing up to the way I interact with and treat my patients. I love the range of procedures that I am able to perform as a dentist—from maintenance care to anterior esthetic restorations that result in a patient’s confident smile. For me, the greatest reward in dentistry is the opportunity to form great relationships, exceed expectations, and build a high level of trust with my patients. Catering treatment plans to the individual patient and providing quality results that we can both take pride in is something I always strive for.”
