Virg

Registered Dental Hygienist

I have been a hygienist for more than 15 years and love meeting my patients’ clinical and personal needs. I focus on a patient’s specific concerns and work with him or her to improve oral health and smile. During patients’ visits, I enjoy developing long-term relationships and passing on my knowledge about the connection between a healthy mouth and body, and give them the information they need to keep both in great shape.

I’ve lived in Truckee since 2000. It’s a wonderful place to raise my family and enjoy the great outdoors.

Denee

Registered Dental Hygienist

I can proudly say that I have been in the dental field my entire life. My mom was a dental assistant and I worked in her office during high school. I worked as a dental assistant for 20 years before returning to school in 2008 for my dental hygiene degree. I am passionate about helping people achieve and maintain a healthy smile and understand how our oral health affects our overall health. In addition, I genuinely enjoy the one-on-one interaction with patients.

I am a proud Reno native. If not in the office, I am outdoors kayaking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, or hiking with my two rescue dogs. So next time you see me, ask me about the latest adventures with Ben & Bodie!

Tammy

Dental Assistant

They say the average adult changes their career five times. I am proud to say I am not one of those people. I have worked in dentistry for more than 39 years. The best part about my job is the relationships I have built with our wonderful patients. I genuinely care for people, so it is essential that I work in a positive, caring environment with top-notch care.

I was born and raised in Reno, where I still reside with my partner of 28 years and our two rescue dogs, who have us wrapped around their paws. I am incredibly proud of my son and his wife, both of whom are nurses living in Roseville. Hopefully, grandkids are in the near future! I enjoy cooking, yoga, biking, and hiking. My newfound talent is painting, specifically on rocks. It has quickly become a passion because of the tranquility that it brings to my life. I will gladly share my artwork if you ask!

Nallely

Registered Dental Assistant

I find dentistry fascinating and have trained to become a dental assistant to ensure our patients have a comfortable experience. I enjoy seeing our patients improve their smiles, and I am glad I can be a part of the process.

I have two quickly growing children, with another on the way. We love being spending time together as a family.

Sue

Office Manager

I couldn't be happier working with a better team and the best patients around. 

I have called Tahoe home for more than 40 years, where my husband and I raised our two daughters. I am thrilled to have three grandchildren now. When not spending time with them, I spend my time creating jewelry, hiking the woods, and enjoying our beautiful Lake Tahoe.

Kayla

Registered Dental Assistant

I recently re-joined the dental field and have been fortunate to have found such a great team here at Sierra Crest Dental! I really enjoy dentistry and am having a lot of fun learning how to be an excellent dental assistant.

Jennifer

Hygiene Assistant

Working at Sierra Crest Dental, I’ve developed a passion for dentistry. I’m eager to learn, grow professionally, and expand my levels of comfort daily. I am very happy that I get to work with such an amazing team, and, I can’t complain about the all-female staff—talk about woman power!

When I’m not at work or in contradiction of having a social life, I am at home cooking, spending time with family, or reading. I was born and raised in Truckee and I couldn’t be happier to call this place home.
