Meet Our Team

Meet our Assisting Team:
Behind every great dentist, there is an exceptional assistant. That’s certainly true about us! Dental assistants are on hand to take x-rays, prepare for procedures, comfort patients and hand our dentists instruments. We also ensure our treatment rooms are clean and germ-free, and our instruments are sterilized. In short, we are the glue that holds the practice together. We don’t get a lot of the limelight, and that’s okay with us – our job is one of pure support. With over 23 years of experience between us, you can count on our assisting team to be there for your comfort. If you have questions or just need to be reassured…we’re behind you, too. Just let us know!

Meet our Hygiene Team:
Our team of talented hygienists can’t wait to meet you!
A hygienist is a clinician that is licensed to clean teeth. We’re the first people you see when you visit the office, and you’ll see why our patients love to come in every six months to catch up with us. Yes, we take plenty of time to be sure you leave here with sparkling clean teeth. But along the way, we do lot of other things to ensure your health. We diligently check for any sign of periodontal (gum) disease, thoroughly document your current oral condition and use technology to screen your whole mouth for indications of oral cancer. Our job is to teach you how to take care of your mouth, for a lifetime of gorgeous smiles. Between us, we have 106 years of experience; ask us how we can put that to work for you!

Meet our Administrative Team.
Our patient liaison team starts and ends your experience at Shelbyville Family Dentistry. We can’t wait to see your smiling face! Among other things, we answer the phone, make your appointment, answer questions about your benefit plan’s responsibility to you and help you determine how you’d like to handle your next phase of treatment. We’re here to smile at you and say “hello!” and wish you a great day when we leave our office.  We also here to help you with anything that isn’t clinical; and that’s a mighty big job. If you have a question, we most likely know the answer. After all, we have over 35 years of combined experience!
