Danielle

Practice Manager

Danielle’s first job as a teenager in 1995 was for Smile Naples’ previous dentist, rotating rooms, sterilizing instruments, confirming appointments, and filing charts. She earned her dental assisting and X-ray certifications at the University of Florida during her senior year and was able to participate in the co-op program at school, which allowed her to work full time, gain experience, and get school credit for it. She left the office in 1999 for college, all while working in the dental field. She later joined her dental family once again in 2011.

Danielle has more than 27 years of experience working in general dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, periodontal surgery, and endodontics. She has been a floater, appointment coordinator, hygiene assistant, certified dental assistant, patient coordinator, and now practice manager. Working the many different positions has given her a full understanding of the duties and what can make things smoother. She is always working on self-improvement, has had extensive training in management and leadership, and is a certified life coach and Stephen Minister.

Danielle now proudly manages the office, focusing on customer service, quality work, and doing things with compassion and integrity. She is committed to the triple win: the patients win, the team members win, and the doctor wins!

Lexi

Registered Dental Hygienist

Lexi is known for her commitment to accommodating the needs of our patients and providing valuable tips for enhanced homecare. With a results-driven approach, Lexi eagerly anticipates following up with her patients every three to six months to witness their improvements in oral health as they implement her professional advice.

Her journey began in the veterinary field, where she worked as a veterinary technician in both emergency and general practice, performing dental cleanings for cats and dogs. Lexi then decided to transition to human dentistry and successfully obtained her dental hygiene license from Florida Southwestern State College.

Outside of her professional life, Lexi is married to a talented dental lab technician, and together they are proud parents to two energetic boys. Her eldest son is an avid bowler, impressively skilled at his young age, while her youngest is the vibrant life of the party, fully aware of his charm. The family shares their home with a delightful yorkie-poo named Princess Leia, and they often go on adventurous outings together, exploring zoos, aquariums, amusement parks, and farms.

Christina

Lab Technician and Certified Dental Assistant

Christina began working with us in 2020 and is Danielle's younger sister. She wears many hats in our office, from taking CT scans/panos, to charting, treatment planning, restocking inventory, and cleaning and organizing. She is also our office lab assistant.

Our clinicians consider themselves spoiled since she helps rotate rooms, sterilizes and restocks instruments, and is always there to help if they are in a pickle! Over the years she has also mastered taking digital scans. Christina helps wherever it is needed.
