Between her time as a dental assistant and her years with our office, De De brings nearly 30 years of combined dental experience to her role. She took over from Sharron as office manager in 2019 and now ensures that the office runs smoothly and that patients have a pleasant experience from the moment they enter to the moment they leave.

Tricia

Registered Dental Hygienist

Tricia graduated from dental hygiene school in 2001 and worked for a periodontist for four years, which helped her to understand the progression of periodontal disease and how best to maintain oral health. She brought her knowledge and experience to our office in 2005 and has consistently worked with the rest of our team to provide comfortable and quality dental care to our patients ever since.

Tricia enjoys discovering the individual needs of each patient and doing what it takes to achieve those needs. She continues to further her education in order to supply her patients with current and up-to-date technology in the dental field. Outside of the office, Tricia and her family love spending time with their horses and competing in rodeo events.

Specialized background: 4 years working for a periodontist, with focused experience in periodontal disease management.
