Kristi
Dental Hygienist
I started my career in dentistry in 1986. I love meeting people. I enjoy getting to know patients, building relationships, and helping them develop a healthy smile. Working one-to-one with patients, I take X-rays, assess their oral health, and clean their teeth. At the same time, I’m talking with them about their mouth and how they can gain and keep a healthy smile.

I started my Dental Assisting career in 2000. I love the relationships I develop with our patients. In our small town we really are more like family. I want everyone to have a great dental experience and feel happy about the care we offer. I help patients get ready to see the doctor, make sure they’re comfortable in the chair, and talk about what will happen. Then I sit at their side, to keep them updated while I assist the doctor
I married my husband Doug in 2002.. We have two daughters. I love time with my family, especially outdoors.
Debbie
Dental Hygienist
I love the many friendships I’ve made with our patients over the years. Working together, we’ve achieved so many wonderfully healthy and beautiful smiles! My job is to help patients attain and keep their smiles at their best. While I assess a patient’s oral health and clean their teeth, I teach the patient about their mouth. I help them learn the best ways to control their smile health.
My husband Dan and I have been married for more than 35 years. We have eight children and ten grandchildren, so my life revolves around family. I’m also active in my church and at school, because our youngest is in elementary school.

Expanded Functions Dental Assistant
I started my career in dentistry in 2001 and I love how everything we do is to help people develop healthy smiles they love. I really like working with the CEREC® machine. It’s amazing to be able to create a crown in a day! I assist the doctors during procedures, and make sure they have everything needed. At the same time, I talk with our patient about what we’re doing and check that they’re comfortable.
I’m married and have three children and 4 grandkids. I’m a member of the local Moose Lodge. Most of my free time is spent spoiling my grandkids.

My biggest task, though, is encouraging people to take the best care of their smile by educating them.
