Our Dental Assistants
Our dental assistants, with team leader Katrina leading the way, provide you with the very best in personal care and attention. Our practice motto is, “We are genuinely concerned about the comfort and dental health of our patients”, and our assistants strive to exceed our patients’ expectations on every visit. As team leader, Katrina ensures that her team is courteous and up to speed with all of the latest dental techniques and procedures so they can do an excellent job when assisting our doctors.
Katrina, Team Leader
Katrina has been a chair-side assistant and treatment coordinator for over 17 years, graduating from the AL Med Academy, in 1999 with a degree in Dental Assisting. She always makes sure that her patients feel welcome and comfortable. She instills confidence in her patients by thoroughly explaining what the doctor is doing and why. Katrina is an avid runner, and when she’s not running, she is spending time with her husband and daughter.
Our Hygiene Team
We have six highly experienced hygienists at Ballwin Dental Care who will help you understand how to achieve a healthy mouth, why it’s important, and how it relates to your general health. Continuing education is very important to our office, and especially our hygienists, so much so that they all exceed the requirements of the state of Missouri for maintaining their licenses. They will provide you with a gentle but thorough cleaning and teach you how to be a partner in your own health.
Debbie, Team Leader
Debbie graduated in 2000 from Forest Park Community College with a degree in dental hygiene. In addition to working in general dentistry, Debbie has experience working in a periodontal office (which specializes in the treatment of gum disease). She has been with Ballwin Dental Care since 2013 and when not working, she spends her time with her husband and two boys (which occupy 100% of her free time). She loves biking, hiking, going to the lake – basically anything outdoors – and she loves to bake.
