Missy

Dental Hygienist

Missy, Dental Hygienist

My name is Missy, and I bring 18 years of experience as a Dental Hygienist. Over the years , I’ve developed a deep passion for both the clinical and educational sides of dentistry. I take pride in helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident about their oral health. One of the most rewarding parts of my career is building lasting relationships and being a consistent part of a patient’s oral health journey—celebrating their progress, answering their questions, and supporting their goals every step of the way. I especially enjoy educating patients of all ages, teaching proper techniques, and showing how small changes can make a big impact. I truly love what I do and feel grateful every day to be in a profession that allows me to care, teach, and make a difference.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband Chad and our three wonderful kids. We also have a playful Pomeranian named Gucci who keeps us on our toes! I'm also proud to be a Colorado native, and love calling this beautiful state home.
