Jessica
joined our practice in 2018. Even though she is new to the dental industry, she has an extensive background in Customer Relations. She is usually the first smiling face you see walking into our office or the friendly voice on the other end of the line when you call the office. She is a valuable asset and we are very happy to have her.
"Having never worked in a dental office, I get so much joy seeing our patient's smiling faces and watching the transformation in their lives - especially the ones who never smiled until coming to us."
Jessica is expecting her first grandbaby in October of 2019 and looking forward to lots of snuggles.

Being outdoors, exporing new places and volunteering for good causes are some of her favorite things to do in her free time.

Jenna
Growing up with a mother that was a Dental Assistant, Jenna always knew she wanted to work in a dental office but Orthodontics was her real passion. Jenna joined our practice in April of 2021 when she did her externship with us after graduating from Fortis College with her EFDA Certification. Jenna brings experience valuable to our office in that she has also worked as Paraprofessional with middle school children requiring special needs.
