Meet Our Team Chapel Hill Dental Office

Dental 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. 


Vianey

Born in Mexico and raised in Burlington, North Carolina. I graduated as a Dental Assistant at Alamance Community College in 2015 and later graduated from Guildford Technical Community College with a degree in Dental Hygiene.

I love helping others and being able to make patients feeling comfortable and provide them with the care needed. When I am not working I’m usually spending time with my family, friends, and my puppy Luna. I enjoy working out, traveling, and hiking.


Becca

Some call her B… short for Becca…short for Rebecca!

Born & raised in Western Pennsylvania- you’ll likely find her sitting at the bar, eating oven baked wings & cheering on the Pens or the Steelers.

She has the biggest, brightest smile which can only mean she was born to be a dental hygienist. With over 11 years of experience, she finds true passion in educating patients about oral health, helping patients reach their “smile goals” and encouraging people to confidently show those pearly whites! Let’s just say she loves teeth!

When she isn’t brushing, flossing and somehow still dancing to her great playlists; you can find Becca outside. From kayaking, to snowboarding, mountain biking to archery, she is always on the move. But before the day starts, she’ll insist on a front porch coffee; while sitting beside her man & her pup.


Dental Assistants


Carey

Born and raised in Durham, NC. I graduated from Sunrise School of Dental Assisting in 2011 and my passion for dentistry quickly began! I love building relationships with our patients, helping them better understand their treatment needs, and helping them achieve their smile goals. 

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to the beach, and playing with our two Siberian Huskies! 


Mayra

Born and raised in the Tar Heel State, where my husband Noe, our son Abel, and our golden doodle Simba call home. I graduated from the UNC Dental Assisting program in 2015 and have enjoyed helping our community ever since!  In my free time, I love spending time outdoors and enjoying time with our family and friends.


Kaylie

Originally from Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, I recently relocated to the Triangle area. I began my career as a dental assistant in 2021, inspired by the positive dental experiences I had growing up. My goal is to provide my patients with the same level of comfort and joy that I always enjoyed. I love building relationships with my patients, ensuring they feel at ease, and hearing any stories they have to share, especially about their pets!


Ashley

Born in Mississippi and raised in North Carolina, I graduated from the UNC School of Dentistry Dental Assisting program in 2009. Over the years, I have gained experience in both general dentistry and oral surgery. My passion is getting to know my patients and making their dental visits as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. I love baking, crocheting, watching soccer, and playing with our dog, Hazel!


Front Office


Taelor

Born and raised in Northern California, due to my husband’s previous time in the Navy I have lived all over the states. Most recently moved from Texas to find our home in Raleigh.

I started in the dental field in 2008 as a registered dental assistant and have worked my way around the office and up to office management, administration and patient care coordinator. 

I truly enjoy seeing patients change their lives while bettering their dental health and improving their smiles.

In my free time when I’m not trying new food, you can find me nose deep in a book, at the gym or hiking and paddle boarding with my husband Adrian, son Caden and our pup Finn.


Emily

Meet Emily, our hygiene coordinator/marketing guru. Emily greatly appreciates going through the journey towards a healthy beautiful smile with each patient, and the confidence it helps bring them. Fun facts about Emily:

She loves traveling into lesser-known areas and discovering beautiful scenery and local flavors.

She is passionate about photography and loves spending time with her two pups and fiancé Mitchell on the golf course.


Malena

Originally from Virginia Beach, my family and I moved to Orange County in 2017. In my free time, you can find me on the sidelines of various sports supporting my kiddos, jogging, hiking, walking my dogs, traveling, and exploring new places.

I made the transition from the medical field to dentistry in 2014 and absolutely love it. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. It is really rewarding to see the transformation small changes can make for their health, appearance, and their confidence.
