TJ, Front Desk
TJ is part of our dedicated front desk team. With a background shaped by his own four-year experience with braces, TJ understands the impact a great smile can make and loves helping patients leave the office feeling happy and confident.
Originally from San Jose, TJ enjoys spending time with friends and family, and he's passionate about music, frequently attending hip-hop and R&B festivals. A true travel enthusiast, he’s always ready for new adventures—even solo ones.
Kennia, Front Desk
Kennia says that she loves having the opportunity to constantly learn at her job thanks to the collaborative atmosphere created by our team. When she isn’t being creative by painting, making bracelets, or decorating for events, she likes to simply hang out with her family, going out to eat, seeing movies, and spending time at the lake.
Samantha, Registered Dental Assistant
Samantha has been in dentistry for over 10 years and likes that she has the opportunity to meet so many different people within our community as well as make a positive impact on their lives. After beginning her career as a dental assistant, she went on to graduate with her hygiene degree from Carrington College. Now, she takes dozens of hours of continuing education every year to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry.
Coming to us from Salem, OR, Samantha has a teenager and an orange tabby cat waiting for her at home, and she enjoys her free time hiking, camping, fishing, and attending various concerts and festivals. Fun fact: She can play the piano, violin, and guitar!
Stephanie, Dental Assistant
Stephanie has been a part of the dental world for over a decade, helping patients achieve their ideal smiles along the way. She received her dental assistant training through Silicon Valley Career Technical Education.
Being very family-oriented, Stephanie is happy to work alongside her sister, Kennia, who is at our front desk! She also has a young son that takes up most of her free time. When she can, she likes to read and watch anime, try new foods, and do her own pedicures and manicures.
Bianca, Registered Dental Hygienist
Bianca's career in dentistry impressively spans over 25 years. She started in a dental assisting program before deciding to pursue dental hygiene and hasn't looked back. Today, she's just a California girl who likes cleaning dirty teeth! What she enjoys most about her role is getting to know each unique patient on a personal level during their visits.
When Bianca isn't busy at work, you can typically find her relaxing at home, hanging out with family around town, traveling (especially when she can use her passport), trying new foods and wines, and going to various concerts and sporting events.
