Chateaux Dental is an enjoyable place to come to work. I really enjoy my coworkers and have some of the greatest patients! My patients are really what make my day fun and challenging.

I have been a dental hygienist for 13 years and have been at Chateaux Dental since 2017. I am a Colorado native who grew up in Lafayette. I became interested in dental hygiene when I was five years old and had the best dentist who always created an awesome experience, and I just knew I wanted to do the same and become a dental hygienist. I love getting to know my patients and treating their individual needs. I want them to leave having clean teeth but also feeling like we took the time to get to know their needs and what is important to them. When I am not at Chateaux, I am busy with my family. I am married to my high school sweetheart and have two girls and a dog that keep us busy. We enjoy all things outdoors and everything Colorado has to offer.

Bio coming soon!

I've been employed at Chateaux Dental since 2015. One of the many reasons why I like working here is we strive for excellence and provide a warm and positive atmosphere for all patients. Most of all, we are like a family, one I am proud to be a part of. I am in the dental field because of my mom, Dr. Bottoms. She worked very hard to accomplish her dream of becoming a dentist. She would come home from work so happy from treating her patients and giving them the smile, they dreamed and that really inspired me. I used to tell her I wanted to be a royal surgeon instead of an oral surgeon and ever since then I just persevered to be in the dental field and follow my mom's footsteps. My patient care philosophy is to have good communication as well as a personal relationship with each and every patient. I want to make their experience as uplifting and comfortable as I can.

A little more about me is that I am very family oriented. I also have two jobs and honestly, I would have to say my second job is the most difficult but most rewarding. I am a mom to two girls. They definitely keep me on my toes.

Hope is Chateaux Dental's little-known therapy dog. She is a sweet toy Maltipoo whose calming demeanor helps patients feel at ease while in the dental chair. She has an amazing sense of when a patient's anxiety is rising and will calmly lay on their lap. Hope knows when it's lunchtime and can be seen running towards the lunchroom for treats from all of her fellow co-workers. Hope can bring a smile to anyone's face and will light up a room with her playful nature.
