Ellie

DENTAL HYGIENIST

Ellie is a Registered Dental Hygienist who has been working with Foothill Smiles since 2016. She graduated from West Los Angeles college in 2012 while raising her two young children. Ellie cares about doing a great job and making sure the patients leave with a smile. Ellie knows the effects of poor oral hygiene on a person's body, and that's why she strives to focus on educating her patient about oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.

Ashley

RESGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST

I received my degree in dental hygiene from San Joaquin Valley College where I graduated at the top of my class. I have been practicing dental hygiene since 2011 and absolutely love it. I became part of the Foothill Smiles team in June of 2020. A crazy year turned out to be a great one because I stumbled upon such a wonderful office that I’m proud to be a part of.

My patient’s oral health is my top priority. I stay up to date with new information that comes out because science is always changing and therefore treatment is always improving. The care that I provide is gentle yet thorough. Rest assured that you will be in good hands here at Foothill Smiles because we treat each patient as we would our own family.

In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband Ryan and their newest addition daughter Everly.
