Dental Assistant

Stephanie started her BOCES program for Dental Assisting in 2018 during her senior year of high school and graduated 2019.  She had an internship in the prosthetic field for 6 months.  She also worked in orthodontics for 3 years.  The smile is what pleases the eye and is the first thing someone notices when they see you.  The reason why she chose dentistry is because she knows what it feels like to be insecure about your smile. She had braces for 2 years and the office that worked on her made a huge impact on her self-esteem and changed her life. She wanted to be able to be part of a team that could encourage oral health and boost self-esteem.  There is nothing more rewarding than improving someone’s insecurity so they can conquer the world and their new smile.
