Celeste | Financial Manager

A United States Air Force veteran, Celeste brings her dedication to service and financial expertise from her banking background to help patients navigate their dental care with confidence. What drives her is simple: helping people.

Angela, Operational Manager at the Center for Dental Excellence

Angela | Operational Manager

After 25+ years in retail, Angela decided to step out of her comfort zone and try something completely new in 2022—and discovered she loves it. She handles scheduling, patient check-ins, financials, phone calls, and most importantly, helping patients feel comfortable and understand their treatment options.

What Angela loves most about her job is learning new things and being part of a work family that genuinely cares about each other and their patients. She believes what makes this practice special is simple: the team. We care, we listen, and our patients matter.

When she’s not at the office, you’ll find Angela with a book in hand, at the beach, or spending time with family and friends outdoors. Compassionate, organized, supportive, sympathetic, and amiable—Angela brings warmth to every interaction.

Katrina, Registered Dental Hygienist at the Center for Dental Excellence

Katrina | Registered Dental Hygienist

As someone who experienced dental anxiety as a child, Katrina understands firsthand how important it is to create a positive dental experience. That personal connection inspired her to pursue dental hygiene, earning her Bachelor of Science from Franklin Pierce University and completing the fast-track dental hygiene program at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

Since joining our practice in June 2020, Katrina has focused on preventative care, oral cancer screenings, periodontal therapy, and patient education. What she loves most is making patients feel comfortable, seeing them leave happy, and building meaningful relationships along the way.

Outside the office, Katrina stays active through running and skiing, loves traveling, and is a devoted family person. Empathetic, reliable, honest, and detail-oriented, she can’t imagine working anywhere else.

Alex, Registered Dental Hygienist at the Center for Dental Excellence

Alex | Registered Dental Hygienist

Alex joined the Center for Dental Excellence team in the fall of 2018. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of New England earlier that year. Alex brings a warm, caring, and charismatic approach to every dental appointment.  Over the years Alex has learned that providing care for her patients and their oral health starts simply with learning about them as a person and taking an individualized approach. She firmly believes that no one should feel like just a number when it comes to their health.

Dentistry as a whole is not “one size fits all” when you are in Alex’s chair. She understands and empathizes with patients when they are frustrated about a diagnosis, anxious about a procedure, or just don’t understand why their teeth or gums are not healthy. Providing oral care recommendations to help meet patients where they are now, and to help them achieve their future goals is a top priority for Alex. What gives her job meaning is hearing her patients say they enjoy their dental cleanings, and that they actually look forward to coming to see her! You will often hear Alex and her patients chatting and laughing down the halls- who said getting your teeth cleaned can’t be fun?
When she is out of the office, Alex enjoys hiking the NH 48, traveling, reading, and working on endless home improvement projects with her husband Tyler.

Madi | Registered Dental Hygienist

Inspired by her positive experiences at the dentist growing up, Madi chose a career in dental hygiene to help others feel comfortable and confident in their oral care. She has always had an interest in preventive healthcare and enjoys helping patients improve both their oral health and overall well-being.

Madi earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Rhode Island before returning to school to pursue her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.  She joined our practice in February 2026.

She is especially passionate about preventive care, periodontal health, and patient education. Madi loves helping patients build healthy habits that support long-term oral wellness. One of her favorite parts of her role is getting to know her patients and building lasting relationships with them.

Outside of work, Madi enjoys traveling, trying new foods, and getting lost in a good book. She also values spending quality time with family and friends, whether it’s exploring somewhere new together or enjoying a relaxing night in.

Mardie, Certified Dental Assistant at the Center for Dental Excellence

Mardie finds the greatest reward in watching patients regain their confidence and feel proud of their smiles. She’s been with our practice since summer 2020, providing compassionate care that makes every visit more comfortable.

Erin | Certified Dental Assistant

After exploring different career paths following college, Erin discovered her calling in dental assisting in 2021—and hasn’t looked back since. What started as curiosity turned into genuine passion when she realized how good she was at helping patients feel comfortable and confident with their smiles.

As a DANB Certified Dental Assistant who earned her certification in September, Erin is excited to keep growing in her career. She currently manages ordering and supplies for the office while assisting with procedures, scheduling treatment plans, and providing the emotional support that makes all the difference.
