Meet Our Team


Kevin Kunard, DDS


Dentist and Owner


I was born and raised in Pinedale, and I graduated from Pinedale High School in 1988. My undergraduates were completed at Utah State University and BYU University. I then continued my education at University of Nebraska Medical Center where I received my doctorate (DDS). In 1998, I was fortunate to return home with my wife, who is a registered dental hygienist, to open Pinedale Dental. It has been a great pleasure to grow my life here with my beautiful wife, Kelly, and our three beautiful daughters Tacy, Tatum, and Sara.


Full Biography




Kelly Kunard


Registered Dental Hygienist & Owner


I’m Kelly, wife of Dr. Kunard. I met Kevin while attending Hygiene School in Nebraska. I have been active in the Dental field for 17 years, the past 12 years I have been a Dental Hygienist.

Since becoming a mother of my 3 beautiful daughters Tacy, Tatum, and Sara, I only work one day a week. I enjoy keeping up with hygiene but raising a family is a full time job.

I also have a great love for horses. I have 5 horses which I try to ride on a daily basis and I compete in local barrel racing events throughout the summer which is a great passion of mine.

Pinedale Dental is a very successful practice and I thank our great team for working so hard to make it such a success.






Tayte Racich


Registered Dental Hygienist


I grew up in Pinedale and have worked at Pinedale Dental as a hygienist since 2008. I did an internship at this office and from the beginning I realized this was a great office with a great team providing quality up to date patient care. We continue to keep up with the changes in dental hygiene and educate about the links between oral health and systemic health.

My goal is to make each visit pleasant providing a comfortable and positive experience to promote a healthy smile.

Not only did I grow up in Pinedale, so did my husband and both of our families are still here. We are happy to raise our two kids, Nolan and Ellie here in this great community. We enjoy a variety of outdoor recreation and some of our favorites are camping, fishing, and skiing during the winter.

Come visit me at Pinedale Dental, I would love to build a relationship and help you keep your smile healthy!

I am proud to be a Pinedale Dental team member since 2002. I am a dental hygienist, wife, mother, grandmother, rancher, gardener, and skier. I married a Sublette County native. We raised three children here in the county. I enjoy helping my husband, life partner, with ranching operations. I am proud of his accomplishments in the alpine ski racing world. I enjoy seeing my children grow into responsible adults. My grandchildren bring me immense joy. I have several greenhouses and a large outside garden. I take joy in growing my own food. When it snows, I love love to ski!

I also love my job as a dental hygienist. I want to help you meet your dental goals. I enjoy building relationships with all my patients. I have a gentle touch. I am patient and caring, and well educated in dental health. I look forward to meeting you. You and I together, can keep your smile healthy.

What I love most about Pinedale Dental is Dr. Kunard’s dedication to investing in our team. We are continually learning. I love that our whole team has the tools and knowledge to give you the best dental care.

Front Office


When I moved back home after school, I continued working with my dad on the ranch, and started at Pinedale Dental in 2019. I am so fortunate to be a part of such a hard-working team! I love the way our team works together; everyone constantly works to improve and give our patients the best experience that we can.

My husband and our daughter enjoy spending our time in and around Pinedale, and we take advantage of the proximity to the mountains regularly. We like to go horn hunting, riding our horses, going on pack trips, and many other outdoor hobbies. My daughter and I enjoy raising and showing chickens as well!






Kelsi Dean


Front Office


I was born and raised in Pinedale, and after college and a few other endeavors, I quickly made my way back to the mountains. I have worked at Pinedale Dental since 2021. The team and the patients make every day a little different, and I feel like I am always learning something new. We have the best people in Sublette County, and our patients prove that point.

When I’m not at the office, my daughter and I enjoy taking advantage of the wonderful area in which we all live. We like to go to the lake, camp, hike, hunt, and enjoy snowsports in the winter. My parents live here as well, and my daughter and I make them join us on our adventures regularly as well.






Hailey Lozier


Dental Assistant


I moved to Pinedale in 2018 after graduating from Missouri State University. I began working for Dr. Kunard in 2020 and quickly fell in love with dentistry. My husband and I met in 2021, and we now own a home together with our two beautiful children. In our spare time, our family enjoys hiking, rock hunting, gardening, and visiting new places. I see myself working at Pinedale Dental until the doctor retires. After that, I plan to return to school to become a dental hygienist and retire in Pinedale.






Sydnee Ivie


Dental Assistant


Hi, I’m Sydnee! I was born and raised in Pinedale, and growing up in Wyoming has shaped pretty much everything about who I am. I’m close with my family, love the outdoors, and really appreciate the simple, small-town life. In the winter, you’ll usually find me ice fishing whenever I can, and in the summer I love spending evenings outside with my family, just enjoying where we live. I’ve been part of Dr. Kunard’s team since 2022, and I truly love what I do. Dental assisting lets me work hands-on with patients, help them feel comfortable, and see their confidence grow. There’s nothing better than watching someone leave with a bigger smile and knowing I helped make that happen. The women I work with have become some of my closest friends, and our office really does feel like a second family. I’m proud to be part of a team that supports each other and gives every patient the best care possible.






Charlsey Carney


Dental Assistant


I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to join Dr. Kunard and his amazing team in March 2025. While I am still fairly new to the field, dentistry has always been an interest of mine, and I’m grateful for the chance to learn, grow, and contribute alongside such a truly wonderful team.

Growing up in Wyoming, I’ve always appreciated the endless opportunities Pinedale has to offer and feel fortunate to share my love for the outdoors with my husband and our two beautiful daughters, Maizie and Lainey. You can usually find us seeking new adventures; whether it’s summiting a new peak, hitting the slopes, immersing ourselves in new cultures, or simply relaxing by the lake and taking in the beautiful mountain views.
