Meet Our Staff
Kayla, Lead RDA
Hey there! I’m Kayla, a Texas native with a passion for everything dental! Graduating from Kaufman High School fueled my journey into the dental field, where I thrive on promoting good oral hygiene and spreading smiles to everyone we meet. While being a dental assistant brings me joy, I am looking forward to furthering my dental career when I attend dental hygiene school. Off-duty, I enjoy exploring antique treasures with my boyfriend, hunting for vintage trucks to restore, or finding my next great turquoise gem. When not in the dental office or antique hunting, you can catch me playing fetch with my golden retriever, Speedy.
Morgan, Office Manager/Treatment Coordinator
Hey! I grew up in Arlington, TX and recently moved to Terrell, TX last year. I’ve been in the dental industry since 2014. I love my job and coworkers and enjoy knowing as a team we will help our patients achieve a healthy and beautiful smile they can be proud of. Out of the office I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend Bobbie and our three dogs. In my free time you’ll find me kayaking at the lake, attending concerts, reading a good book, enjoying a night of karaoke with my friends or watching reruns of The Office.
Vannessa, RDH
I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, and graduate from Concorde Career College. Attending an accelerated hygiene program was challenging yet rewarding in many ways. While my 7 years of dental assisting grew my passion for patient care, it wasn’t until the extensive knowledge and training gained from hygiene school that I knew I could really make a difference in the lives of my patients. I strive to help with anything from making my patients feel comfortable in the chair and easing their dental anxiety to working together creating home care strategies that best fit them and their lifestyle.
As a former Forney High School graduate and long time Forney resident of over 17 years, I am pleased to call this town home. What better way to give back to my community than to be an advocate for their oral health while educating them on proper oral hygiene practices. When I’m not in the office making smiles brighter, you can find me either out with friends and family or taking my German Shepard fur baby out for a walk followed by a trip to Starbucks for a pup cup.
Megan, RDA
Hey! I graduated from Mesquite High School in 2019 and have spent the past two years working as a dental assistant, looking to pursue a career in dental hygiene. Outside of work and school, I enjoy watching movies, going to concerts , traveling, spending time with my boyfriend and family, and occasionally at the tattoo shop. I’m passionate about both my professional growth and my personal interests, always looking for new experiences and knowledge.
Yashica, RDH
Born and raised in San Diego, CA, I joined the Navy in 1998 as an Air Traffic Controller before pursuing my long-held desire to work in dentistry, a passion ignited when I got braces at age 12. After leaving the Navy in 2003, I started my journey by studying Dental Assisting, eventually graduating with honors as a Dental Hygienist from Catawba Valley Community College and Western Kentucky University. With over 22 years in the dental field, I’ve served in various roles, including Dental/Orthodontic Assistant, Office Manager, Insurance and Treatment Plan Coordinator, and Hygienist. My true passion lies in dental education, helping patients understand the importance of oral hygiene and its connection to overall health. My goal is to teach in a dental hygiene school and become a Program Director. I’m a proud member of the Christian Dental Association and regularly participate in mission trips to serve underserved communities in Jamaica and Africa. I’m married to my husband Jeffrey, a retired Army Soldier, and we have three wonderful children: our two-year-old daughter Charlotte, my sixteen-year-old stepson Carson, and my twenty-one-year-old stepdaughter Carissa. In my free time, I enjoy event planning and traveling the world.
