Meet Dentistry Team at Apollonia Dental Center
Agripina
Registered Dental Hygienist
My career in the healthcare field began in Mexico in 1984 where I worked as a dentist until moving to California. After graduating from Taft College with a degree in Dental Hygiene, I worked in different offices until joining the team at Apollonia Dental Center in 2010. I have met so many wonderful people in the time I've been here, from our amazing doctors and staff to our interesting patients. My patients' dental health is my number one priority, and I'll do whatever it takes to ensure they leave our office smiling.
I am happily married to my husband, Marty, and we have three sons, Alex, Luis, and Marty. When I'm not at work or spending time with my family, I love curling up with a good book.
Amber
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have almost 20 years of experience in the dental field and joined our wonderful team in 2007. My favorite part of being a hygienist is the interactions I get with our patients. They're all such interesting people and I learn new things about them each day. I also feel fortunate to work with such committed doctors that practice good, sound dentistry.
In my spare time I like to be with my family, cook, and read with my children.
Candace
Registered Dental Hygienist
As one of our hygienists, my goal is to focus on promoting dental health while creating a comfortable, welcoming environment. I joined Apollonia Dental Center in 2007 after starting my dental career in 1998. I am so proud to work in a field where I can give my patients a smile they can be proud of.
I've been married for 18 years and have two Labradors that are just as much a part of the family as our three children. In my free time, I enjoy running, exercising, spending time with my family, reading, and watching football.
Sharon
Registered Dental Hygienist
I became a dental hygienist in 1995 because I overcame my own dental phobia. Now, it is my goal to help all of my anxious patients receive the dental care they need in a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. Since joining this office in 2006, I have had many opportunities to give positive dental experiences to my patients. There is nothing better than seeing them smile with healthy, beautiful teeth.
I have been married for 35 wonderful years and have one beautiful daughter. I also love animals.
Alex
Office Manager
I am responsible for overseeing our entire office, from patient care and relations to administration and financial duties. I recently joined our team but have been working in the dental field since 2007. I love creating a positive, caring, and optimistic atmosphere where our patients can enjoy their dental care. I especially enjoy seeing them smile!
I'm married and have two beautiful daughters. My free time is spent traveling with my family, coaching my daughters' sports teams, and photography.
