Meet the Office Staff, Dental Assistants
and Hygienists

 

I'm Sherry. I have been in dentistry for 27 years as a dental assistant, front office business assistant, and have been with Smile Designers for the past 7 years as the Office Manager

I moved to Colorado 7 years ago from Tennessee, where I received my education in registered dental assisting from McKellar Field School and Certified Dental Assisting from the National Board of Dental Assisting in 1981-1982.

I enjoy coming to work everyday because although I have a challenging position, I love the doctors and staff I work with and helping the patients meet their needs. I have two sons ages 23 and 22. I enjoy spending time with them as well as my beloved dog, Cujo, who is 13 years old.
I also enjoy going to church, walking, music, dancing, spending time with friends and bowling.

Expanded Duties Dental Assistants:

My name is Danielle, I've been with Smile Designers for 9 years as a dental assistant. I received my training in this office and have taken various courses to improve my skills and have been certified to administer nitrous oxide. I have gained a lot of experience in the dental field working for Smile Designers and enjoy the company of my co-workers. I also enjoy being with my family. I am married with two teen-aged girls who keep me very busy. You will usually find me and my girls out shopping! Working full time and running a household with teenagers can be pretty challenging at times but it's easier when you have a job you enjoy and great people to work with every day.

My name is Carol and I am an Expanded Duties Dental Assistant. I have been working at Smile Designers since Feb '07, but have been an EDDA for 18 years. Of the offices I have worked in, Smile Designers has been the best place to work for many reasons. Both doctors are very skilled and truly care about their patients. Also everyone in the office is fun to work with and be around. I enjoy working with patients whether its a small fast procedure or a long difficult one. We have very nice patients and that is why I drive from Thornton, where I live. My husband and I have 7 children together plus 4 grandchildren. We enjoy going 4-wheeling in the mountains, fishing and camping and going out to Bandimere Speedway during the summer.
My husband has a '69 Chevelle he races.

Hi, my name is Brenda. I received my Dental Assisting Certificate from Dental Assisting Training Academy in 2001. I have happily been with Smile Designers for over 6 years. In being both a Dental Assistant and Administrative Assistant it enables me to have a complete understanding of your dental needs.

I am also a wife and mother of two teenagers, which helps me know what is important for your family as well. My interests are being active in the community and church with teens inspiring them to be the best people they can be, hiking, singing at church, and working part time with the elderly. I feel as though my abilities allow me to be open and flexible to our patient's needs and inquiries.
