Dental Hygienists
Jill
I have had the pleasure of working with the doctors and staff at LIFESmiles for more than 20 years. I enjoy my career as a hygienist and love helping people improve their overall health through oral wellness. Outside the office I enjoy any activity that includes being in the great outdoors. I love riding my horse or dirt biking in the mountains or desert. I also enjoy hunting, hiking, camping, and quilting. The only thing better than recreating in the outdoors is spending time with family, especially my 7 energetic grandkids.

Shelly
I’m so grateful and honored be a part of the incredible team at LIFESmiles. I love the time and opportunity I have with patients to help them improve their oral wellness, which, in turn improves their overall health. I enjoy patient interactions and helping patients overcome any fears or concerns they have with dental care. Being thorough, but gentle is my goal with each and every patient in the chair. I love spending time with my family and currently have my hands full with my baby girl. I have a golden doodle who is my dog child and goes just about everywhere with me. Yoga, horseback riding, skiing, hiking, painting and walks in the park with my family are some of my favorite activities.
