Meet Our South Portland Dental Team

Rachelle, Dental Hygienist

Rachelle’s favorite part of being a dental hygienist is tailoring her patients’ treatment and hygiene plans to fit their unique needs and working with such a supportive team. She attended the dental hygiene school at University of New England and is interested in how oral microbiome shifts can help improve oral and overall health.

Rachelle has a dog and cat, and she enjoys spending time outdoors. You can also find her thrifting, crafting, watching scary movies, and reading in her free time. An interesting fact about Rachelle is that she won her first fishing derby at the age of three!

Marissa, Dental Hygienist

Marissa enjoys being a dental hygienist because she gets to meet so many people and build strong relationships with them by helping them with their oral health. She loves getting to be a little part of her patients’ lives. She attended dental hygiene school at University of New England and is certified to administer local anesthesia and nitrous oxide to patients.

Marissa comes from a large and supportive family that has taught her so many lessons that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. Outside of the office, she enjoys staying active, dancing, and going on walks. Her whole family has motorcycle licenses, so she also enjoys taking family rides around Maine when the weather is nice!
