About Dr. Brenza
Dr. Brenza attended Loyola University for her undergraduate studies and graduated from Northwestern University Dental School in 1996. She then spent 2 years completing a residency and fellowship in Hospital Dentistry at the University of Iowa. This additional education provided her with the expertise to treat medically and physically compromised patients and the experience of performing many advanced dental procedures.
Originally from the Chicago area, she decided to come to Rockford after her fellowship because she really liked the community and all it had to offer. She exclusively treated the developmentally disabled until 2005, when she and her husband, Ryan Yelles, had their first child, Grant. Less than a month after Grant’s birth, her father became terminally ill. She decided to take some time off and help her family during this difficult time. In early 2006, she purchased the practice of Dr. John Lund. In late 2006, Dr. Brenza and her husband welcomed their second child, Evan, into their family.
Dr. Brenza greatly enjoys providing her patients with exceptional dental treatment while spending quality time with all of them. She has special interests in cosmetic dental procedures and dental implants. With her post-graduate education, she is credentialed to utilize various forms of sedation for the patient with dental anxiety, treat young children and the elderly, and to provide dental treatment in a hospital with general anesthesia.
Dr. Brenza is dedicated to continuing education for herself and her team. Being continuous students ensures their dedication to excellence. She is truly honored to be entrusted with maintaining excellent oral health for all of her patients.
In her spare time, Dr. Brenza enjoys spending time with her family and numerous pets. She looks forward to traveling with her children as they grow so that she can share her love of history and nature with them. She is passionate about protecting the environment, from recycling to sustainable living to cleaning up our community.
Dr. Brenza is currently accepting new patients. She would be honored to treat any of your friends or family members whom you would refer to her practice. Your referral is the greatest compliment!
