Hygienists
Jessica W.
Born and raised in North Carolina. I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and then decided to pursue a career in the dental field. I graduated from Guilford Technical Community College with a degree in Dental Hygiene. This is where I found more than just a career, I found my passion. To me, being a hygienist is much more than just “cleaning teeth”. I love building relationships with my patients and educating them on their oral health.I enjoy being outside and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to meeting you!
Lindsay K.
I’m proud to say that I am a North Carolina native, raised in Durham, NC. I have been a practicing dental hygienist for 13 years after graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2019, I had the wonderful opportunity to become a part of the incredibly talented team here at Chapel Hill Cosmetic and Family dentistry. My top priority as a hygienist is to provide patients with care, education and the support they need to reach and maintain optimal oral health. Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and staying healthy through good nutrition and exercise.

My husband and I are originally from the Chicago area. We moved to North Carolina 4 years ago. I have worked in the dental field for over 16 years, as an office manager as well as a patient care coordinator. What I love most about dentistry is the time I spend with patients, helping them throughout their treatment.
When not at work, my husband and I love to hike, kayak, travel and spend time with friends. We have two grown sons and an awesome yellow lab that loves to hike with us!
