CERTIFIED DENTAL ASSISTANTS - CDA's
Cathy and her protege are the core of the technical operations of our clinic. Not only will you see them as they assist during your dental procedures, but they are the technical experts handling your digital radiography and photography as well as clinical computerized data. When not involved with hi-tech applications or chair-side delivery, they are also trained in advanced sterilization procedures, materials management and in-house lab applications in order to optimize patient flow. Whether making custom trays for your impressions or bleaching kits, to laser scanning your crowns, they are always working either in view or behind the scenes to keep the clinic ticking.

With a combination of skill and the use of hi-tech data management systems, these team members will handle an amazing amount of information on your behalf. You will find them not only extremely capable but very professional.
