Stephanie L – Dental Assistant

My name is Stephanie. I have been a practicing Dental Assistant since graduating from SIAST in 2008. I have been a member of the Spring bank Team since moving to Calgary in 2012.

As a dental assistant for the past 10 years, I enjoy all of the challenges my profession has to offer. Every patient is unique and I am always motivated to connect with each one. It is truly a rewarding experience when a patient walks away wit ha smile and I know I was part of a team that helped to make that happen.

Brandi S – Dental Assistant

Brandi has been with our team since March 2017. She feels that she can help patients best when she can relate to them on a personal level much more than just being their dentist or dental assistant. It makes coming to the office fun for her and not feel like work at all.

Brandi loves being part of a team that makes people smile (no pun intended). Whether it be because she helped them achieve part or all of their dental goals, or just simply being able to make someone laugh in the chair. It makes coming to work very easy for her.

Outside of the dental office, Brandi works for the Calgary Flames as a part of the ice crew team. She can also be found going on road trips to the mountains or getting out on the outdoor rink in the winter.

Brandi also enjoys hanging out with her fiance and her dog, Bear. She just got engaged this year! Congratulations, Brandi!
