Meet The Dental Assistants

I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia! I attended Athens Technical College where I became a certified dental assistant in 2009. I became a part of Atlanta Dental Spa in 2012. This team is absolutely amazing to work with, and I’m lucky to call them my second family! My passion for dentistry came from my own experience when I had the opportunity to improve my own smile! There is nothing more rewarding than helping others achieve a confident new smile they love! Outside of work, I enjoy being with my son Eli and spending time with my friends and family!

I became a part of this amazing team at Atlanta Dental Spa in June of 2011. I have been in the field of dentistry since 2004, with a background in management. I fell in love with assisting and caring for patients, and I can not imagine any other profession for myself. What sets Atlanta Dental Spa apart is our unprecedented compassion for our patients. As one of our surgical assistants, I enjoy caring for our sedated patients and providing a calm atmosphere to relax in. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and I have a love/hate relationship with the elliptical.

Hi, I’m Ruth! Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, I moved to Atlanta in 2010 and began my career as a Dental Assistant. My experience includes pediatrics, oral surgery, and even plastic surgery. My favorite days are those that involve surgical procedures resulting in dramatic life changes for our patients- I love being a part of that journey with them! I joined the Atlanta Dental Spa team in 2020 and I am thrilled to be working alongside Dr. Currie and Jobeth!

My name is Whitney and I have been assisting since attending UEI college in 2015. Born and raised in Ohio, but I’ve lieved in Atlanta for 10 years. I grew up in a household of medicine so I have a passion for helping others, especially with their dental health. I joined the Atlanta Dental Spa team shortly after the COVID outbreak; since then our team has been nothing but extremely safe and cautious for our patient’s health along with the people providing the care. I’ve found my home within Atlanta Dental Spa and hopefully you will too! I love meeting new people and being educational. When I’m not in the dental office you can mostly catch me with friends eating really good food and having lots of laughs!

I’m Brittany and I am an Atlanta native. I am new to the dental scene, just recently graduated from the Dental Staff School and shortly after got the opportunity to work with Charissa and the rest of the ADS team. I am so excited to enhance my skills and work with the best of the best! When I’m not working you can catch me with friends or snuggling my dog. But I’m looking forward to meeting and helping all the patients that come to Atlanta Dental Spa!

I am originally from Memphis, where I have a large family and we are very close. So I enjoy going back to see them any chance I get. I have been a dental assistant since 2008 with a focus on cosmetic dentistry and dental sleep medicine. I love being a dental assistant and find it very rewarding. Before becoming a dental assistant I worked in real estate law as an escrow agent. I am very excited to be a part of the Atlanta Dental Spa family. When I am not in the dental office I am a yoga instructor. I am a huge animal lover. I have sixteen horses back home on my family farm in Tennessee. I enjoy hiking and relaxing with my two dogs.

Hi! I’m an expanded functions certified dental assistant, with over 4 years of experience, specializing in general and cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery. I love to stay up to date on the latest dental practices, and strive to make our patients feel comfortable throughout their entire appointment! I enjoy coming to the office every single day. I love seeing our patients’ smiling faces, and I’m fortunate to work with an amazing team and wonderful doctors. I’m always willing to help and encourage people, and find joy in learning something new every single day! In my free time, I enjoy riding horses and racing motorcycles. I also like hiking with my dogs, fishing, traveling, photography, and sports. My family and faith are very important to me. My goal is to one day go on a mission trip and work alongside dentists to help the less fortunate receive free dental care!
