Megan — Lead Dental Hygienist
Megan has been helping patients build healthier smiles since 2013. As our Lead Dental Hygienist, she works with patients to connect the dots between oral health and overall wellness — without the lecture. Her goal is to help patients make informed choices that support a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Outside of the office, Megan owns and operates 417 Shimmer, where she helps clients feel confident through holistic teeth whitening, permanent makeup, and Procell Facials. She also loves hiking, biking, and kayaking — ideally all over the world. Her travels have taken her to France, Italy, Ireland, England, Guatemala, and Hawaii, with many more destinations still on her list. Whether she’s exploring a new country or helping a patient improve their health, Megan approaches everything with curiosity and a passion for continuous growth.

Outside the office, Alissa is a devoted wife and a proud mom to her daughter. She’s deeply rooted in her faith, committed to her fitness journey, and has a soft spot for all things spooky — from horror movies to haunted trails. Whether she’s assisting in surgery, supporting her team, or brightening a patient’s day, Alissa brings heart, humor, and dedication to everything she does.
