VANESSA

Registered Dental Hygienist

Vanessa celebrates 22 years as a dental hygienist, and 25 years in the dental field. She is passionate about her profession and loves helping people improve their oral healthy by empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment unique to them. The number one comment she gets from her patients is that she has a “gentle touch,” and patients enjoy her personable and warm approach to dentistry.
Vanessa grew up on a farm in South Africa that bordered onto the Kruger National Park. Seeing wildlife such as lion, elephant, buffalo, and many various animals were a normal part of her upbringing. She now lives in Bothell with her husband, two sons, and chocolate lab, Moose. Because of her upbringing in Africa, she has a great love for the outdoors. In her free time, she enjoys photographing nature, camping with the family, crabbing and paddle boarding.

Amanda

Dental Assistant

I started my career in dentistry in 2008 as a dental sterilization tech and hygiene assistant. After a couple of years, I decided I wanted to pursue working alongside doctors and help patients with their smiles. I enjoy working with people and being able to make them feel comfortable during procedures is always my top priority as an assistant. Even after 14 years in the dental field, I am always learning new things. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people and helping them understand the care we strive to give them. I’m happy to be part of the Kenmore Smiles team and I look forward to meeting and helping patients.
Outside of the office; I enjoy cooking, reading, going on spontaneous adventures, and traveling to the Oregon Coast with my husband. Rain or shine, I love being out in nature!
