Meet Our Team

Dental hygienists and dental assistants are a vital part of a good dental team, and work closely with the dentist to provide optimum dental care. They provide treatments such as root planing, scaling and prophylaxis for periodontal diseases. They also teach patients how to care for their teeth, as well as contribute to comprehensive dental diagnoses by providing diagnoses on your dental hygiene.

Our friendly and courteous office staff are always happy to assist old and new patients throughout their dentist visits. They will help arrange and manage your appointments and follow-up visits, and answer any questions and concerns that you may have.

Known for its focus on patient-centred clinical education, SUNY gave her the skills she needed to practice a wide spectrum of dental procedures. She is well versed in dental implants, porcelain veneers, crown and bridge, root canals, extractions, fillings and chair side whitening. She is also certified in Invisalign.
