Chantal

Dental Hygienist/Myofunctional Therapist

Chantal grew up in the small town of Wilton, North Dakota. It’s so small if you blink, you will miss it. Chantal started her college adventure as a theater major, then decided to be a starving artist, but ultimately decided to get a Dental Hygiene degree. What Chantal loves most about her job is meeting new people every hour and making a difference in patients’ lives. Chantal is trained in Myofunctional Therapy, and loves offering this service to our patients to help correct improper oral and facial muscle function. Myofunctional therapy can help patients with TMJ pain, asthma, sleep apnea, and tongue and lip tieswhich can lead to improvements in breathing, swallowing, speech and improvement of TMJ disorders and more stable orthodontic outcomes. Her favorite part about her job is getting to know families and hearing about everyone’s life adventures.

When she is not changing lives through dentistry, Chantal spends time with her life partner Craig and her cat Pumpkin.

Lauren

Dental Assistant

Lauren is local to the Twin Cities and grew up in Norwood Young America, MN. She then attended South Central College in Mankato where she got her Associates and Dental Assisting degrees in 2020.

Jess

Dental Assistant

After previously working in ortho, Jess is excited to return to the broader scope of general dental care, where she enjoys building ongoing relationships with patients and being part of their long-term smile journey. Jess’s favorite part of her work is helping patients feel truly comfortable. Dental visits can be intimidating, and she loves easing fears, creating connection, and sharing laughter whenever possible. Helping people feel relaxed—and even enjoy their time here—is what she finds most rewarding.
