Our team is the difference you feel

At Downtown Dental, our mission is to change lives—for our patients and for our team. Every visit is shaped by people who are as committed to their own growth as they are to your health, comfort, and confidence.

Most of our dental hygienists are also trained myofunctional therapists, and our dental assistants are expanded-function, physiologic-trained clinicians who also support our in-house lab work. That means the people beside you at every appointment understand how your teeth, bite, airway, muscles, and overall health connect—and they have the skills to support that big-picture plan.

We recruit people with heart and a hunger to grow, then invest in advanced training and leadership and professional development. When you walk through our doors, you’re cared for by a team that listens deeply, explains the “why,” and works together to protect your health, your smile, and your quality of life.

Behind every visit is a coordinated team that reviews cases together, shares ideas, and plans your care as a group. Your hygienist, assistant, and front office partner stay in sync so you always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

Our hygiene team does far more than “just clean teeth.” Most of our hygienists are also trained myofunctional therapists, which means they look beyond plaque and polish to how you breathe, swallow, and use your muscles every day. They help connect habits, airway, bite forces, and gum health so we can catch issues early and build a plan that supports your whole body, not just your smile.

During your visit, they’ll take the time to listen, explain what they’re seeing, and coach you through simple, realistic changes that make a big difference over time.

Our dental assistants are expanded-function and physiologic-trained, so they’re hands-on with many of the advanced treatments we provide. From digital scans and photos to TMJ, bite, and airway visits, they’re by your side at nearly every step—keeping you comfortable while helping us gather the detailed data we need to plan precise, conservative care.

Many are also trained as in-house lab technicians, helping design and refine appliances and restorations to your exact bite and facial structure. That combination of clinical skill and behind-the-scenes lab work means smoother visits, fewer surprises, and results that feel as good as they look.

Our front office team is here to make everything feel clear, organized, and supportive from the first call. They understand our integrative, whole-body approach, so they can walk you through your roadmap, coordinate with other providers when needed, and help you time treatment around real life.

From scheduling and communication to estimates and payment options, they’re focused on turning confusing “what ifs” into a simple, step-by-step plan—so you feel informed, respected, and genuinely taken care of at every touchpoint.
