I am committed to providing compassionate patient care and helping patients understand their treatment plans, oral hygiene routines, and orthodontic appliances. I focus on patient comfort, clear communication, and positive experiences throughout treatment.
I have experience preparing treatment areas, sterilizing instruments, managing supplies, and following OSHA, HIPAA, and radiology safety requirements. I am a Registered Dental Assistant in Texas with Texas Radiology Certification and American Heart Association CPR certification.
I am skilled in orthodontic technology and digital workflows, including iTero scanning, Dental Monitoring, EasyRx, Invisalign, Spark, and 3D printing. I also support chart updates, scheduling, patient record management, laboratory tasks, and appliance preparation.
