Meet The Team

The Hygienists
Dr. Smith takes great pride in his hygiene department.  It is a very personal relationship between the patient and the hygienist, especially for our patients that do not love going to the dentist.  These five women, Lisa, Bobette, Aong, Ashley and Kathy have a professionalism and passion for their work that is unmatched.  And like everyone that works at Smith Sedation Dentistry, they are committed to always making sure that you are comfortable and relaxed.

 

Sedation Coordinator
Melissa hates going to dentist as much as any of Dr. Smith’s sedation patients so she is perfect for talking to patients about sedation dentistry.  She has a very warm and comfortable way of talking to people about their fears and helping them get over them.  So if you are scared of the dentist and just want to talk to someone who can make you feel better, call and ask for her.  She really can help .

 

Dental Assistants
Our team of dental assistants consists of Rosa, Nicole, Desiree, Charlyn, Cassie and Tracie.  This group of ladies is dedicated to keeping you as comfortable as possible.  All of them are excellent care givers and will make your visit as calm as possible.

 

Extended Functions Assistant
Joni Biggerstaff is basically like a nurse practitioner for dentists.  She has taken over 800 hours of training to help Dr. Smith with many of his procedures.  Joni specializes in dentures and fillings.  She has a very caring manner that soothes anxious patients.

 

Nurse Anesthetist
Heather has been performing general anesthesia and conscious sedation for over 30 years.  Her focus is on special needs patients, patients with substance abuse issues, and medically compromised patients.  She is an expert in her field and we are very lucky to have her.
