Next up to celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month is Beth! 🦷😊🪥

Here is some fun facts about our veteran hygienist!

I have been a dental hygienist at Back Mountain Dental for 20 years!! I love helping patients overcome their dental fears and want to smile again!!! When I am not at the office you will most likely find me at the barn on my horse Highlight (or as my husband refers to him “the boyfriend”) 😂at a horse show or at home with my family!!!

We are incredibly grateful to have Beth as part of our Back Mountain Dental family. Her dedication, compassion, and ability to make patients feel comfortable is a true gift. Thank you, Beth, for 20 amazing years of service and for the difference you make in our patients’ lives every single day!

Up next to celebrate Dental Hygiene month is Aeryona! Aeryona has been with us for over 4 years! Here are some reasons she loves her profession🦷🪥

“I enjoy being a dental hygienist because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in people’s health and confidence every day. I take pride in helping patients improve their oral hygiene and educating them on how it connects to their overall well-being. Building trusting relationships with patients and seeing their progress over time is incredibly rewarding.”

🌟 Happy Dental Hygiene Month! 🌟
This month, we’re thrilled to spotlight our amazing hygienists at our practice – starting with Talia! 🦷💙

Here are some reasons Talia loves her role as a dental hygiene provider!

“I love being a dental hygienist because I’m passionate about full-body health. Oral hygiene is such an important part of how healthy we are overall, and I love helping my patients feel their best, and supporting them in achieving their healthiest selves. Becoming a hygienist has been my dream since I was a little girl, and I truly believe it’s God’s role for me. I’m so grateful for the relationships I’ve built with my patients and coworkers – and the time I get to spend getting to know them each day.”

Talia’s dedication to whole-body wellness, her passion for patient care, and her genuine love for building meaningful relationships truly make her shine. We are so grateful to celebrate her this month and every month for the incredible impact she makes on our patients’ lives!

Our Culture

Since 2000, Dr. DeFinnis and his team have been bringing the latest cosmetic and general dental procedures to Shavertown and the surrounding communities. We know that for many patients, the very idea of getting dental work can make their heart race. That’s why we specialize in working with patients to calm your fears. We even offer I.V. sedation so you can sleep through your visit if you choose. Every procedure we offer is performed using the latest techniques and equipment to give you the best care we possibly can. From the first time you call, you’ll know you’ve found a place to call your dental home so why put off calling us Dr. DeFinnis would love to have you as one of our patients.
