Meet the Team

Cheri

Registered Dental Assistant

I love making a difference in each patient’s life! It’s a good feeling to restore a person’s confidence in their appearance, and give them a reason to smile. And I love helping people learn that visits to the dentist are nothing to worry about! I work directly with patients: seating them, preparing them for their procedure, and explaining what will happen. Working chairside, I assist with general restorative treatment as well as surgical procedures. When we’re finished, I provide home-care instructions and check to make sure our patient is happy with the visit.

I have two adult children. My family has lived in the Upper Valley area for more than 35 years, and served our community through work and church activities. We enjoy being outside, whether we’re hiking, swimming, golfing, gardening, or snowshoeing.

Cindy

Registered Dental Hygienist

I look forward to my days at Sunset Valley Dental because of my amazing colleauges and equally amazing patients! My interest in dentistry began at age 16 with an after school and summer job at a local dental office. I attended UVM where I studied to become a dental hygienist. I have a fulfilling career helping patients obtain their optimal oral health and understanding how it effects their overall wellness. I try to make each patient feel comfortable in the dental setting.

I have lived in Brownsville, VT for over 50 years. My husband and I raised two daughters, who also live and work in the area. I love spending time with my extended family. I enjoy gardening, cooking, knitting, sewing, reading and walking the back roads of West Windsor. I TRY to play golf, but my swing needs some work!

Carla

With over 19 years of experience, the best part of my job is the relationships I develop with my patients. I also enjoy educating patiens on their oral health.

My Husband and I have been married for over 36 years and we enjoy hiking, skiing, camping, and spending time with our family.

Jillian

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been a dental hygienist since 2008. I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve healthy oral habits. My priority is giving patients a positive and comfortable experience when they are in my chair.

Outside of the office I spend most of my time with my husband and daughter. I love the outdoors and working in my vegetable garden.

Karen

Registered Dental Hygienist

My greatest pleasure in treating patients is making them feel comfortable with dental treatment. Working with both adults and children enables me to assist all our patients to manage their own dental health. I work hard to make everyone feel at ease and safe during their dental treatment, whether it is placing fluoride to prevent childhood decay, treating periodontal disease or a routine dental prophylaxis. I have worked in this practice for many years and have seen many of my patients for most of those years but also enjoy meeting new people and treating them like long term patients. I provide child and adult prophylaxes, periodontal treatment and maintenance, take routine and cone beam radiographs, fluoride treatments and sealants and various other procedures provided here at Sunset Valley Dental.

Outside of the office I enjoy skiing, swimming, reading and travel!

Lauren

Patient Care Coordinator

I look forward to talking with patients while assisting them with their dental needs. Because we offer personalized care, our doctors tailor treatment to each person’s needs. This means the best experience and strongest results. I answer calls, schedule visits, and handle billing matters. I also work with patients to ensure they get the most from their insurance benefits. I follow up with insurance claims, so patients don’t need to stress!

My wonderful husband and I married in 2013. We have two active children that keep us very busy! In our free time we enjoy being with our families and working on projects in our home.

Lura

Patient Care Coordinator

I’m a people person and love welcoming new patients and families to Sunset Valley Dental. We serve an amazing community, and it’s a pleasure to help neighbors get the best dental care for their smiles. Working at the front desk, I answer our phones, help patients schedule visits, and handle the monthly recall process. I also make the daily reminder calls and review pre-estimates with patients so they understand their financial responsibilities.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending my time outdoors. I love hiking, kayaking, and skiing! I enjoy traveling with my boyfriend, and going to the ocean. We also have a super cool cat named Jake.
