Kiria, Registered Dental Assistant
All the way from Houston, TX, Kiria attended Alameda College to earn her certification as a Registered Dental Assistant and has been treating smiles for well over half a decade. Over the years, she’s worked as an orthodontic, general, and pediatric assistant, and she’s also done internships at the University of California, San Francisco and Highland Hospital. Her favorite part of her job is working with children and helping them overcome their fears and anxieties about visiting the dentist.
Away from the dental office, Kiria loves family time and doing fun things with her loved ones like hiking and traveling. At home, she enjoys cooking with her husband, watching her son play video games, dancing with her youngest daughter, and skating every Sunday with her oldest daughter. In her free time, Kiria likes playing basketball, reading, and going to school. One interesting fact about her: she is a very quick learner and has a good memory—which is why she remembers virtually every patient she’s ever helped!
Allie, Registered Dental Assistant
For close to a decade now, Allie has been working in the field of dentistry by helping patients improve their oral health and achieve their best smiles. Born in Manteca, she studied at UEI College to attain her certification in dental assisting. After graduating, she immediately started working at an orthodontic practice before going to a general practice. She later gained experience in other specialties like oral surgery, endodontic, and pediatric dentistry. She also has her certification in areas like sealants, coronal polishing, pit and fissure, radiation safety, infection control, and Basic Life Support.
Allie’s favorite thing about her job is being able to educate her patients while bringing them fun and joy during their visit, that way the children can be excited to return for future treatments. At home, she has a large family with many siblings, and she loves spending time with them as much as possible. Whenever she’s free, she enjoys dabbling in arts and crafts, playing the piano, and learning about planet Earth and all the species out there.
