When she’s not in the office, Karen enjoys making memories through great experiences. Some of her favorite times were spent scuba diving in the Virgin Islands and Hawaii. Next, she plans to go on an eating tour of Italy.
Emily, Dental Hygienist
Emily is a knowledgeable, gentle, and caring registered dental hygienist. She begins each visit with a conversation about you.
In her work, Emily emphasizes gum health. This is because the gums are the foundation of excellent oral health. Emily is excited about using oral DNA technology to prevent oral health problems. She continues to learn about enhancing airflow through dentistry and helping patients who experience breathing problems.
Emily holds a degree in dental hygiene. She completed postgraduate training in Precision Periodontal Medicine and The Hygienist Program at the Kois Center.

Tanya is a bright, talented, and nurturing registered dental assistant with an eye for detail. She possesses a passion for learning and sharing knowledge about oral health.
Providing comprehensive care, that considers your whole health, is Tanya’s priority. To help make visits more comfortable she led our dental team’s adoption of Dental Scanner, a device that makes taking dental impressions easier for patients.
In our practice, you will find Tanya chairside assisting Dr. Jayne. She provides clinical supports for treatment involving dental implants, veneers, and tooth restorations.
