Our Dental Hygienists

You will see our hygienists typically twice a year for routine teeth cleanings and preliminary oral examinations as well as oral cancer screenings and dental care education. They are licensed, highly qualified friendly professionals, who specialize in preventative dentistry and maintenance procedures for teeth and gums. They focus on your total health and the relationship between that and your gums.

Our hygienists also provide fluoride treatments, take x-rays, apply dental sealants, check for gum disease, hard tissue disease, and provide periodontal (gum disease) therapy. They are licensed in CPR and routinely attend continuing education classes in order to provide you with cutting edge procedures and recent information.

Meet the Family

Our working family is made up of a small group of friendly, polite, caring professionals consisting of our dentist, dental hygienists, assistants, and office staff. Our professionally trained, experienced staff puts the patient first while providing gentle, comprehensive and preventative dental services. In our
office, the patient comes first and foremost and their comfort is of utmost importance. We work as a team with pride, enthusiasm, and dedication to customize treatment for the individual in order to maximize and enhance your total health.

Our Front Office

The first persons you will see is our front office staff. They check you in, answer any questions regarding treatment plans, schedule your appointments, and take payment information. If you need help financing your treatment ask them how to apply for CareCredit. The front office staff handles all of the insurance billing and pre-treatment estimates. Our office staff form the foundation of our practice allowing the dentist and the hygienists to spend more time with the our patients.

Our Dental Assistants

You will see our highly qualified, certified dental assistant with our dentist when dental work is required. She will provide support to you and put you at ease while providing dental services under the supervision and direction of our dentist. Our assistants assist the dentist with dental procedures while keeping you comfortable. She will even hold your hand if you want her to! While their duties are numerous, (take x-rays, update patient's records, take impressions, sterilize instruments, setting up and breaking down for each procedure), the dental assistant is a good source for post operative care and general dental health questions. They maintain excellent organization and sterilization in and out of the dental operatory and are great contributors to the team.

As a service to you all team players are CPR certified
and an automated external defibrillator is on site.
