Davis Dentistry Team

Although I grew up in Sante Fe, New Mexico, I have always dreamed of visiting my extended family in Cadiz, Spain.  I moved to Phoenix and met my husband thirty two years ago, and then we began our own family here.  We have three beautiful children and grand children who keep us busy.  I enjoy going to the gym, swimming, gardening, and going on dates with my husband.

I have been in dentistry for over 25 years and have been interested in the anatomy of people’s teeth, and the effect of teeth on people’s lives, ever since I was a child.  I was very embarrassed by my own snaggle tooth, but was fortunate to have a dentist uncle who was able to fix my smile.  I had always felt that my ugly tooth was the first thing people looked at, and it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to finally smile!  I think that your confidence in your teeth will crossover into so many other areas of your life, allowing you to light up the whole room with your smile.  To this day, it still encourages me when patients come in for a smile makeover and leave with a renewed sense of self-confidence.

I started my dental career over 20 years ago in sunny southern California. That is also where I became a registered and certified dental assistant. I have done all aspects of dental from Regional management, single office management, insurance biller and as an assistant. My true passion is dental assisting. Helping patients, becoming their friend and making them comfortable is very rewarding to me.

When I’m not working in the dental office, you will find me with my family members. My husband of 17 years, and myself have a son and daughter. You will surely find us on a soccer field, watching movies or enjoying time with our English bulldog, Roxy.

I have been working in the dental field for many years with the last 18 years as a dental hygienist.  I did not know that having my own dental issues as a teenager—with too much spacing between my 2 small front teeth—would lead me into a long lasting dental career.  I have been infatuated with smiles and helping other feel better about their oral health.  It has been a rewarding career and appreciate getting to know patients.  I enjoy learning and keeping up on the latest technology and continuing education in order to address the individual needs of patient care.  I grew up in New York and relocated to Arizona when I was young.  I completed my education with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at Northern Arizona University.  I have three children who keep me on the run.  A creatively brilliant daughter, a good natured and tender hearted daughter, and a sport addicted son.  When I am not working and tending to them, I enjoy hiking, racquetball, and scuba diving.  Also, I volunteer at my children’s school and their church youth group.

I grew up in Alaska, and moved to Arizona in 2021 for my education at Northern Arizona University.  Although I may have started my journey in the medical field.  Something told me dental was for me.  I have always had a passion for helping others, and dental is such a rewarding place to see that.  I love to see patients gain so much confidence in themselves!  I completed my Dental Assistant certificate in Goodyear Arizona. Now I am continuing my education to become a dental hygienist.

When I am not working you can find me enjoying Salt River, going to dinners with with friends, or taking a walk on the canal with my pup Sully!
