Renee

Dental Assistant

Renee has been a dental assistant for Nebraska Dental Center since 1987, and has been a Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) for most of that time. With the variety of people and procedures provided, she says her job is “never boring.” She especially likes helping those with dental anxiety receive the needed treatment comfortably with as little stress as possible. Hearing them say “that wasn’t so bad” brings her joy. What she likes most though is seeing them smile when they look at themselves for the first time after treatment is completed. Renee says, “It’s amazing what confidence they show when they see how good they look.” She is glad she can help bring that feeling to them.
