Griffin appreciates all facets of dentistry

Upon graduating, Griffin returned to Yellowknife, where he gained invaluable experience treating individuals from communities across the north.

Katie, Office Manager

I gravitated to Dental Assisting in hopes of helping people overcome their fear of the dentist…

My name is Katie and I currently reside in Airdrie with my husband and our fur-baby, Scout. Before finding Dental Assisting, I completed my Bachelor of Communications with a major in Journalism at MRU and spent six years working in the financial industry. I gravitated to Dental Assisting in hopes of helping people overcome their fear of the dentist. I enjoy meeting new people, as reflected in my love of traveling. Following high school, I lived in Barbados for six months and completed my Bachelor of Communications in India, studying culture shock. Most recently, my husband and I completed a roadtrip through Germany; we met many interesting people along the way.

When I’m not working at the clinic, I love spending my time reading, writing, hiking, camping and dirtbiking. I look forward to meeting everyone and continuing to grow in my new career!

I enjoy meeting new people and doing my part to provide excellent dental care

I’ve lived in Airdrie since I was two years old, and can’t picture anywhere but here as my home. I am convinced that dental assisting was a great pick for me, because there’s so much variety involved and always something new to learn! I’d have to say though – my favourite part about dentistry is meeting new individuals and families and creating long-lasting friendships with co-workers as well as patients. As a Christian, I see so much value in every person who walks in the door and I strive to show them that I truly care, which means doing my best so they can have a wonderful experience at their dental visit.

In my spare time, I get to enjoy lots of fun hobbies such as research (dental field and non-dental field related), painting, piano, playing with my cats, growing my own vegetables and hanging out with my best friend (my hubby)

Wanda, Admin

Well, hello! I will be one of the friendly faces you will see when you first enter the clinic…

Born and raised in Newfoundland, and like many other Newfoundlanders, I made my way out west for work with my hubby and children. Though it was a difficult decision to leave the island, we have been very happy to make Airdrie our home.

I started my dental assisting career 27 years ago. My career has led me into many roles in the dental office, from dental assistant to management. I have always enjoyed learning everything I can over the years and using those skills to provide the best customer service I possibly can. My core values in the dental field are to provide exceptional customer service, build trusting relationships with our patients and to be sure that every patient I encounter feels like they have been treated like family.

Outside of the office, I spend time with my family and friends camping, enjoying the outdoors, vacationing and socializing at each other’s homes or at events. I love to plan and organize parties or activities, so there is always something keeping me busy outside of work.

Kathy, Admin

My favorite part of my job is to see people smile

I’ve been in dental for 17+ years, with 15 of those years in a denture clinic in Kelowna BC. I started out building the dentures and ended up not only helping to create the smile, but also the treatment coordinator. With a love of dental care, and people, moving into preventive was a big goal of mine. In the denture clinic, we always highly suggest doing what you can to save your natural teeth and seeing Yankee valley Dental is a great place to start! I will be the smile when you enter and the person that will help with any insurance or treatment questions. When I’m not working, I truly enjoy the great outdoors. My family and I love backpack camping and hiking in the Rocky Mountains. But my biggest passion is fitness! You might have seen me out running around Airdrie or biking or rollerblading. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

Ashley, Admin

I have been in the dental industry for 2 years and counting…

I have been in the dental industry for 2 years and counting. Although I am new to working in a dental office, I have grown up in one, as my stepdad is a dentist. I would spend many days in his office helping organize binders or just playing video games on their computers. One of the things that drove me to work in dental, was my passion in helping others feel good about themselves. I understand that there can be many different anxieties when coming into a dental office and sometimes just seeing a friendly smile can alleviate just a fraction of it. If I can be that friendly smile or provide you with a laugh, then I am happy to do so.

Out of the office, you can usually find me spending time with my family, including my two beautiful daughters. We play games such as board ball, Wizard and Mario Party. We also love to go to the theater and pig out on popcorn.

One of my other passions is facials. I run a small business within Yankee Valley Dental providing women and men with clinical facials. These facials include chemical peels, enzymes, and micro needling. I love helping people fall in love with their skin.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel comfortable on your next dental visit.

Ali, Hygienist

I place high priority in prevention…

I have been practicing as a dental hygienist since 2018. I was drawn to dental hygiene while I was completing my education to become a dental assistant, and subsequently, went back to school shortly after finishing my dental assisting certificate.

As a dental hygienist, I place high priority in prevention, and want my patients to feel educated and motivated, so they can improve and maintain their oral health. I am dedicated to my profession and always want to ensure that my patients feel comfortable and at ease while they are in my chair. I always consider and prioritize that each individual requires a customized level and style of care, whether it be managing dental anxiety or helping to minimize discomfort.

In addition to my devotion and understanding of the importance of oral health, I have great appreciation for the relationship that it has on overall general health.

When I am not in the dental clinic, I enjoy and strongly value all forms of fitness, health and wellness, whether it be working out, traveling or spending treasured time with my family and friends.

Ashley, Hygienist

Looking forward to seeing your smile in my chair!

Hello! My name is Ashley and I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2012. I graduated with first class honors and was awarded the Canadian Dental Hygiene Association Achievement Award.  Previous to becoming a dental hygienist I was a Registered Dental Assistant for 7 years.

I live in Douglasdale with my husband and 2 dogs, and am very active in several different animal rescue groups in the city. I welcome the opportunity to help you take care of your smile! I specialize in those patients who may be fearful of the dentist with my gentle, non rushed approach.

Karen, Hygienist

I believe in a holistic approach to dentistry.

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta.  I ventured off to Toronto to pursue my education in Dental Hygiene.  I graduated in 2016, and from there made my way home to put my education into practice.

I believe in a holistic approach to dentistry.  Everything in the body is interconnected, and for it to function soundly your mind and body must work together as a whole.  So, let’s work together to achieve a healthier smile and healthier you!

When I am not working at the clinic I spend my mornings at the gym.  I also have an interest in interior design and currently learning to build new things.  Just give me a drill and paint brush… the possibilities are endless!

Genesis, Hygienist

My goal is to educate and help my patients in achieving their optimal oral health…

Hi! I’m Genesis, and I’ve been a dental hygienist since 2019. I graduated with an advanced diploma at Durham College, Oshawa, Ontario. After three years of gaining experience, I decided to move to Alberta.

My family relocated to Canada from the Philippines when I was 19. Growing up, I’ve witnessed people undervalue and disregard the importance of taking care of their dental health due to financial limitations. I’ve seen young ones lose their teeth at an early age from full-blown cavities caused by a lack of hygiene education. These experiences inspired me to pursue and be more passionate about taking care of people’s oral health.
My goal is to educate and help my patients in achieving their optimal oral health. I strive to provide a comfortable and relaxing environment for my patients and treat them as family while providing quality care and service.

Outside of work, I am usually volunteering at my church. I also love trying out new restaurants and just driving around with my family and friends.
