Barb

Dental Hygienist

Talking with and getting to know our great patients and their families, while I help create healthy and beautiful smiles, make my days a joy. I spend my hours interacting with patients on a one-to-one basis, while I prepare their teeth for bonding and bond their braces, fit and cement bands, change wires and tie arch wires, and remove braces. I just love removing braces and seeing those healthy, straight teeth, and, even better, witnessing the joy on the patient’s face when they see their new smile!

Aside from my career, I enjoy being with my husband, three children, and one very busy grandchild. In my spare time I keep busy with various active hobbies, including skiing, swimming, cycling, scuba diving, and yoga. I also enjoy reading.

 

Kim

Level II Certified Dental Assistant

It’s always fascinating to watch a person’s orthodontic treatment progress from start to finish. Seeing the physical changes happen, along with the changes in their self-confidence and how they interact with the world, never ceases to amaze me. I enjoy the connections that develop between our patients and the team, during treatment, too, and look forward to our interactions. My work duties include taking X-rays and lab work, records, and providing chairside assistance, as well.

My husband and I have two beautiful daughters. We look forward to visiting family on the east coast every summer.

 

Lyndsey

Level II Certified Dental Assistant and Receptionist

I have over 17 years of experience as a Dental Assistant and Receptionist. I enjoy assisting administrative, as well as clinical care for patients. I am enjoying this new chapter of my career in Orthodontics. My favourite part of my job is interacting with the patients and seeing all the smiles with the completion of treatment. I am excited to take this journery with you and looking forward to building new relationships at Clarington Orthodontics.
 
Outside of work, I am a wife and mom to a fantastic little boy and 2 dogs. I like to spend my free time with my family camping and going for walks in the woods on our property.
 
 

 

Elaina

Orthodontic Dental Hygienist

Elaina started in the dental field as dental assistant after graduating from Georgian College Dental Assisting Level 1 & 2 program in April 2000. After starting in a general dental practice, she moved on to an Orthodontic practice and quickly found a love of orthodontics and has been in the field ever since. Wanting to expand her scope of practice Elaina returned to school at Regency Dental Hygiene Academy, where she graduated with a diploma in Dental Hygiene in 2007. Elaina has worked in Orthodontics as a Hygienist for the last 13+ years, and is also a member of staff at SickKids Hospital in the Orthodontic dental department since January 2018, working with cleft lip/palate patients and patients with craniofacial disorders.

She is very excited to be starting a new chapter in her career here at Clarington Orthodontics. Elaina lives locally with her family and enjoys all of the great amenities the community has to offer, everything from skiing and skating in the winter to days by the lake at her cottage in the summer.
 

Brittney

Level II Certified Dental Assistant

I joined Clarington Orthodontics in 2020 and bring 7 years of dental assisting experience with me. I have also worked in general dentistry including general anesthesia, but my heart was always with orthodontics.  Patients are generally excited about treatment and seeing the end results and how happy they are is such a great feeling.  A smile the patient loves for themselves can give such a boost in confidence and it's really great to see.

Outside of the office I'm with my husband and our two young daughters. We enjoy going for bike rides, four wheeling, hanging out in our backyard, and travelling back to my hometown to visit with my mom and other family.
