Ann Lee
Registered Dental Hygienist
The best part of being a dental hygienist is working with people from all walks of life, learning about them over the years, and building great rapport. I believe the relationships that I create help patients to feel more relaxed and comfortable, because they know I genuinely care about them as people, not just as patients.
I began working in dentistry in 1996 when I graduated with my B.S. in dental hygiene from Northeastern University, and earned an advanced degree in dental hygiene from Forsyth Institute. I joined Dr. Seligman’s team in 2004. As an office, we hold ourselves to a higher standard to ensure that patients receive the greatest quality of dental care. We treat one another, and our patients, with respect.
Ashley
Appointment Coordinator
My goal is to make sure that our day is schedules to ensure ample time for all patients in our goal of offering quality dental care. Over the years, through my work in various dental settings, I have gained knowledge that allows me to provide patient services ranging from scheduling appointment, discussing treatment plans, providing financial arrangement, and solving insurance concerns. Ultimately, I want to see that patients receive the smile they have always hoped for.
I come from a big family that keeps me busy during my free time. I have four sisters, one brother, four nephews, and two nieces! We do a lot of traveling and event planning together has a family. Personally, I enjoy reading, shopping, and listening to music. I’m also a big fan of football and basketball!
Dianne
Registered Dental Hygienist
I look forward to seeing and talking with my patients. I’ve known many of them for more than 20 years and they feel like family. Our practice strives for excellence every day by providing quality care that’s personalized to each patient’s needs and goals, and I love being part of this team.
I examine patients for signs of oral issues, including cavities and gum disease, and offer preventive dental hygiene care. I clean teeth through scaling and root planing and educate each patient on ways to improve and maintain optimal oral health.
Away from the office, I enjoy working out, cooking, snow shoeing, hiking, and traveling around the world.
Kristel
Dental Hygienist
My focus from day to day is on providing preventive services to our patients. I believe the most important aspect of that is building a relationship with each person. The results are twofold; not only am I able to personalize their care, but I also get to know them beyond their dental needs, which fosters trust and comfort.
At home, I have two beautiful kitties named Lucky and Nilla. My passion is cycling, both locally and abroad. I’m always looking for new travel adventures!
Michelle
Insurance Coordinator and Dental Assistant
I like coming to work, where I see familiar faces and meet new people each day. It’s fulfilling to be part of a dental practice where we trust and support each other. That allows us to provide the strongest care and most positive atmosphere to our patient family.
I wear two hats in our office. As insurance coordinator, I handle filing and follow up on all insurance claims. I’m also a dental assistant and work in the clinic, where I assist Dr. Smith with periodontal procedures.
I live with my two daughters and our dog Luna.
Stephanie
Dental Assistant
I love interacting with people and believe all patients deserve quality, caring dentistry. I love the variety of my day; patients, and their smiles after a procedure, make me so happy! Everyone at Seligman Dental Designs is a team player. We treat each other with respect and support each other so we’re able to ensure great visits for our patients.
My main focus is assisting our dentists with treatment. I also work with patients, to provide education about their oral health, and support my coworkers with their tasks.
I’ve always been the type of person who seeks out and takes on new challenges and adventures. I have a passion for traveling, and learning about new cultures and foods. I love the outdoors and exploring New England with my fiancé and my dog, Ruffo. There’s always something to do here, whatever the season!
