LINDSEY

ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM

After graduating high school in my hometown of Clinton, MO, I was eager to get into the medical field. I quickly received my Medical Technician Certification as well as my CNA license. In 2017, I graduated DeVry University for Medical coding and Billing. In 2019, I was ready for a change. I wanted to be in an office setting where I was able to interact more with patients, thus I began my dental journey as an Insurance Coordinator.

 

First, I was a Kanning Dental patient for several years and witnessed firsthand the staff and their interactions with my children. Their love and knowledge for their work and patients made the experience more than just a normal dental visit for me and my family. Currently, I serve as the Office Manager, and I enjoy not only serving our patients, but our team too.

 

My husband, Nick, always dreamed of raising our children in his hometown. So in 2019 we moved to Lawson to raise our two boys, Beau and Talan, on our small property. We enjoy being outside as a family- riding our dirt bikes, building something, family float trips and hunting, we love it all!

ELISSA

HYGIENE TEAM

I was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, where I attended college at the University of Missouri – Kansas City. I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Dental Hygiene in the Spring 2009. With my Missouri dental hygiene licensure and certification in local anesthetic and nitrous oxide administration, I have clinically practiced dental hygiene and volunteered with the state doing dental screenings in a variety of elementary schools.


I am very happy to be part of the Kanning Dental team. My daily goal is to help fulfill our mission by educating and treating our patients in a comfortable, clean, and cozy environment. My passion is patient education; therefore, I love to comprehensively answer patient questions and give them answers to help lead them to optimal oral health.

In our down time, my husband and I love watching our children grow, catching a baseball game, or enjoying live music.

APRIL

RESTORATIVE TEAM

I have been in the dental field over 15 years and have a passion for helping my patients have a healthier and more confident smile. I graduated from Concord Career College in 2006 in their dental assisting program. My favorite part about being an assistant is getting to know my patients and helping to ensure they have the best oral health.

 

On the weekends and during my free time, my husband Rob and I, and our two children, Chase and Emma, enjoy doing different activities together, such as arts and crafts, taking walks and watching movies.

ANGELA

RESTORATIVE TEAM

After graduating from UMKC in 2008 with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, I worked in the field of education for 15 years. Sometimes as a teacher, whereas other times as a paraprofessional, working with special needs children at all grade levels.



I consider myself a lifetime learner; always trying to better myself both professionally and personally. Which has brought me into the exciting world of density. I started working at Kanning Dental in October 2021 as a Sterilization Tech and have been surrounded by great people, both co-workers and patients. I’ve transitioned to a Dental Assistant through the hands-on training I received from our doctors and fellow assistants. If there is anything I'm sure of it is that you are never too old to learn something new.


My husband, Tony and I have three boys- from high school to elementary school. They keep us busy and I wouldn't have it any other way.
