Our team

The hygienists and front office you will see every visit.

The team at The Center for Dentistry of Vernon

Our hygienists and front office staff handle most of what a visit actually involves: cleanings, x-rays, insurance verification, scheduling, and the follow up afterward. Many of them have been with this office for years, which is why patients tend to be greeted by name.
