Daisy, Dental Hygienist
Daisy is a Dallas native! She has more than 13 years of experience in the world of dentistry, and the last two of them have been spent right here with our team. She attended Texas Woman’s University and has her BLS certification. When asked, she shared getting to know each patient and helping them maintain their oral health are two of her favorite aspects of her job.
Daisy and her husband, Luis, have two sons. As a family, they love to spend time together and travel. Her interests outside of dentistry include working out, reading, and trying new restaurants. Here’s something
Marcelvi, Dental Hygienist
With Marcelvi, her goal goes beyond just giving you a clean and healthy smile—she also builds trust with her patients so that visits feel easier and more comfortable over time. A graduate of Concorde College, she likes to stay busy by spending time with her family, reading, and going to the gym. Fun fact: She is certified in ASL!
Yohanna, Registered Dental Hygienist
Yohanna earned her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Texas Woman’s University as well as certifications in laser dentistry and local anesthesia. She is especially passionate about helping patients who feel anxious in the dental setting, taking time to create a calm and supportive experience. Her approach is rooted in building trust and helping people feel more confident and informed about their oral health.
Originally from Dallas, TX, Yohanna grew up in a close-knit family and was greatly influenced by her mother’s strong work ethic, which helped shape her commitment to serving others. Away from the office, she enjoys baking, reading, going to concerts, and volunteering in her community. She also knows how to play the clarinet!
Stephanie, Lead Dental Assistant
For Stephanie, nothing is more joyful than boosting someone’s confidence by restoring their oral health. Seeing a patient’s emotional reaction to their new smile after a procedure is always the highlight of her day.
Stephanie's life is filled with love and activity thanks to her three older sisters, four nephews, two nieces, and two gentle giant dogs (Simba the XL bulldog and Laser the German Shepherd). She’s also active in her church and can be frequently found watching/playing softball, working on her swing at the batting cages, or visiting the gun range.
Elizabeth, Dental Assistant
Elizabeth brings over a decade of experience to our practice, and she says that the best thing about her job is the teamwork that goes into delivering excellent care. Helping people feel at ease while also supporting the dentist so procedures go smoothly makes a meaningful difference in our patients’ comfort and health.
On the weekends, you’ll usually find Elizabeth with her family, and she also likes to go on walks, go out for matcha or coffee, and shop to expand her shoe collection.
Mayra, Insurance Coordinator
Mayra has been a part of the dental world for over 20 years, and she says that knowing she has played a small part in improving someone’s quality of life and confidence is the best part of her job. Mayra is originally from California, and she has one adult daughter. When she isn’t spending time with family, she likes to travel, enjoy the outdoors, and do DIY projects at home.
Ruby, Admin Front Office
A native of Dallas, TX, Ruby brings several years of experience in the dental field with training from Remington College and Dallas Dental Assistant School. She has built a strong foundation through both education and hands-on experience in the dental office, with a focus on patient interaction and supporting day-to-day front office operations. She enjoys getting to know patients, welcoming new faces, and contributing to a team environment where everyone feels supported.
Away from work, Ruby is a proud mother of four children, including two daughters and two sons, and much of her time is spent enjoying life with her family. She loves listening to music, watching movies, exploring new coffee shops, and staying active through weight training and family outings. A memorable part of her childhood was living in New Mexico, where she recalls spending time outdoors riding bikes and playing, even when there were bears roaming around!
