Hi, I’m ASHLEY!
Hi. I’m Ashley and I am, an adventurous traveller who enjoys meeting new people and trying new things.
In fact. I am writing this having just returned from a trip to Colombia, where I enjoyed snorkelling around the islands, hiking through the jungle. and exploring the beautiful city of Cartagena.
When I am not working or planning my next trip. I like being outside and being active. I live in Brantford, and enjoy going for walks on one of our many trails.
I also enjoy visiting new restaurants – Mexican is my favourite and I would have no problem eating tacos every night cif the week!
I have a love for all animals and although I currently dont have any pets of my own. I frequently dog sit my parents cocker spaniel. Animal Planet is my favourite 1V network – it’s so fascinating!
I love my job as a dental assistant because every day is different and brings on new challenges. My job allows me to meet people from all different backgrounds and walks of life. I love hearing stories about the own experiences and adventures.
Looking forward to meeting you at Smiling Dental!

If I could use 3 words to describe myself, the 3 words of choice would be; positive, kind, and
empathetic. I love to help others in any way that I can, and take pleasure in making individuals feel comfortable in a dental office setting.
Hi, I’m HAILEY!
If I could use 3 words to describe myself, the 3 words of choice would be; positive, kind, and
empathetic. I love to help others in any way that I can, and take pleasure in making individuals feel
comfortable in a dental office setting.
Part of the reason I love Dental Hygiene is that every client I encounter is different. Two mouths are never the same, and life stories are unique to one individual; that’s what makes my job interesting!
I am constantly being challenged, and am always learning something new. However, my absolute
favourite part of my job is meeting new people and developing connections with my clients. It is
very important to me that every client feels special, and not just like a number to our office.
I love working at Smiling Dental because the entire team has this in common! We all want
connections with our clients, and want everyone to feel comfortable and leave happy when they
come to both of our offices.
If I’m not at work, I am usually at home watching home renovation shows accompanied by my two
fur babies - Aspen and Coco. I do enjoy exploring new cities and trying new foods… I must admit I
have a sweet tooth!
I look forward to seeing you in the office, and hopefully getting the opportunity to become your
Dental Hygienist.

Hi, I’m JESS!
Growing up I always had an interest in dentistry and decided at a young age that I was going to proceed into the field! I have a passion for learning and expanding my knowledge.
I love having the ability to connect with my patients through sharing my personal dental experiences, to build a trusting and understanding relationship.
I love to travel and explore the world with my husband, Chris, and our 3 wonderful (and active) children, Brooklynn, Chase and Lexi. There is never a dull moment when we are all together having fun!
I have always been a fast food junky, Pizza, burgers and pickle fries are where it’s at! This love for all things fast food has been passed onto my children as we have a busy on-the-go life style with seasonal sports activities and road trips!
Being part of the Smiling Dental team allows me to strive and grow within my career! Our team is a work family, that supports each other and our dreams.
I truly believe that with this team anything is possible, and am so grateful to be a part of the dream team!

As a young child I was terrified of the Dentist, which drew me into the profession. I strive to put
patients of all ages at ease in my chair during their cleanings, while helping them achieve a
healthy smile.
Hi, I’m KATHLEEN!
As a young child I was terrified of the Dentist, which drew me into the profession. I strive to put
patients of all ages at ease in my chair during their cleanings, while helping them achieve a
healthy smile.
I grew up in Brantford and now raising my family there with my husband Rob. I am a proud
stepmom to two young adults Brittany and Dylan, Mom to Zander and Addy. We are a busy
house, running around to Basketball and Dance. I also have several fur babies, our
rambunctious puppy Arlo and 3 cats, Timona, Pumba, and Coco. If you couldn’t tell by their
names, we are also Disney fanatics at our house!
I love being outdoors on a hunt for our next big adventure. In the summer you can find us
glamping, hiking, and kayaking all over. Algonquin is our new favourite spot, especially in the
fall.
The moto I live by is Live, Laugh, Love. It reminds me to live our life to the fullest, laugh along
the way and love whole heartedly. Our journey is too short not too!
I love working at Smiling Dental with an amazing, professional, like-minded crew. It is a family
away from home. I can’t wait to meet you there.

Hi, I’m KATHERINE!
I am a person who believes in the power of positivity, enjoys learning new things and challenging myself. I am drawn to people that inspire me to bring on my best.
I guess we did something right, or maybe we're kind of cool!
Although we are typically on the go with sports, sometimes together or divide and conquer, I’m proud to say that our kids still like hanging around us!
I grew up in Brantford and now raising our family there with my husband Joey. He calls me “Rocket”because of my stellar driving! We are raising 2 teenagers, Eric and Katelyn and our dog Izzy (who thinks she’s human!).
The Smiling Dental team makes possibilities attainable, encourages and supports each other to reach new heights and succeed.
I am excited and grateful to be a part of this amazing team! Can’t stop smiling!

Hi, I’m LINDSAY !
I am a vibrant and passionate person who lives life with a joyful spirit. Being a dedicated mom of
two girls and a loving wife, my family is incredibly important to me. With my outgoing personality, I
can connect with others and strive to bring joy to their lives.
Art is my outlet for self-expression, and there are no limits to my creative mindset. Whether it’s
painting with acrylics or watercolors, my artwork reflects my unique perspective and imaginative touch. I also find happiness in crocheting and knitting, crafting cozy blankets, stylish scarves, and cute accessories while pushing myself to learn new techniques.
Spending quality time with my family is invaluable to me. Whether it’s a cozy movie night at home,
an exciting park outing, or exploring new places, I cherish every moment shared with my husband and daughters. Their laughter and love bring immeasurable happiness into my life.
Professionally, I’ve found my true calling in the dental field. As a dental professional, I combine my
passion for helping others with a warm and friendly demeanor. Creating a comfortable and positive atmosphere, I strive to put patients at ease and make their experience as pleasant as possible. I am so thankful for Smiling Dental for providing me with a work family that shares the same family values and prioritizes patients’ needs above all else.

I'm a happy, outgoing person who likes to be around others.
Hi, I'm MEL!
My name's Melanie but most people call me Mel! I'm a happy, outgoing person who likes to be around others. Those close to me would probably describe me as " people person".
I'm married with four kids so our lives are very busy! We are generally running here and there, with activities, playdates , and school!
My kids are all my favourites in the world and they each teach me so much! My most special times are spent with my family. We enjoy Sunday hikes, getting ice cream, going for bike rides or hanging out at home playing games or watching a movie.
When I get the chance, I like keeping fit with different activities, spending time with family and friends and reading. I also like baking but will totally admit that I'm not a good cook!! Thank gosh my husband makes up for my lack of cooking skills!
I love learning new things also, both personally and professionally. I've taken cake decorating, beading classes and pottery classes! I also enjoy learning new things in the dental field!
That's one of the reasons I enjoy working at Smiling Dental. I get a chance to learn new dental hygiene skills and be around a great group of people while doing it! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone who visits Smiling Dental! See you at your cleaning!

Hi, I’m STACEY!
A dreamer who is always looking at the possibilities that lay ahead. I love to learn and grow both in my personal and professional life.
Finding true happiness at work has allowed me to spend quality time with my family when I’m home.
I’m a proud gymnastics mom of a beautifully talented 10 year old girl – aka – Addi cakes. Wife to a fun-loving bearded barber – aka -Scumbag Craig.
We’ve made Brantford our home with our 2 cats and our lazy, stubborn, loud English Bulldog.

Hi, I'm STEPH!
Hi I’m Steph! I would best describe myself as energetic and easy going. I’m always excited to take on a new challenge and embark on an adventure.
Sports are a passion of mine. You can find me on the soccer field in the summer, on the rink in the winter and cheering on my favourite sports teams year round, GO LEAFS GO!
Music is the soundtrack of my life, whether in around a fire with friends, hiking the local trails, backyard barbecuing with my family or cruising a country road, I’m always ready to sign along.
Family is important to me. I look forward to starting my own one day. In the meantime, I love spending time with my niece and nephew and of course my cat Tulip.
I love seeing people smile, which sparked my passion for my career in dentistry. I thrive in providing quality care to all of my patients and love seeing a smile on their faces.
I am so happy to be starting a new adventure with the wonderful team here at Smiling Dental!
