Meet the Team
Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your child to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Stephanie
Registered Dental Hygienist
I’ve been a dental hygienist for more than 18 years, almost all of which have been at South Coast Smiles. While I spend most of my time providing thorough, gentle cleanings and teaching the little ones about their oral health, my main goal is to give them a positive dental experience. We’re a family here with a common interest in providing the best possible dental care for our patients.
I enjoy spending time with my family, two children and dog, Larry. We love being outdoors and staying busy. Some of my hobbies include baking, crocheting, woodworking, and singing, though singing I don’t do very well!
Amy
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have my Associate’s degree in Science of Dental Hygiene and have treated both adults and children over the past 17 years of my career. I know I am where I should be—working with kids! They are the best and always keep me on my toes! Seeing the kids’ smiles at the end of the appointment is my goal and makes it all worth it.
I have two children of my own, a cat named Stella, and a wonderful partner of 18 years. I love to learn anything and everything new and have a background in softball and dance, so I like to keep moving! We love to travel to Myrtle Beach at least once a year with hopes of traveling a lot more, whether for pleasure or doing missionary work.
Melanie
Registered Dental Hygienist
I have had the pleasure of working with the South Coast Smiles team for over 30 years! I completed my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, and I am an adjunct dental hygienist clinic instructor at Cape Cod Community College. I feel at home at South Coast Smiles, where we are like-minded, respectful, and love each other like family.
I love living on the South Coast - spending time at the beach, doing yoga, biking, hiking, and skiing. I keep busy with three children and four grandsons.
Nellie
Certified Dental Assistant
I joined the dental field in 1995 and am proud to have been a part of this office for the past 22 years. I am certified as a dental assistant and accredited through the Dental Assisting National Board and the Massachusetts Board of Dentistry. My goal is to help our young patients get through their dental appointment so they leave happy! My team and I all have the same goal, which is to put our patients first with professionalism and compassion.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy being with family. We love the summertime and spending time outdoors. I also love to read when I have a quiet moment.
Michelle
Certified Dental Assistant
I assist our awesome Dr. Sean with patients, making sure they are comfortable and taken care of. My favorite part of the job is getting to spend time with all the wonderful families in our community!
When I'm not at the office, I love spending time with my husband of 16 years, Nelson, our 14-year-old, Prestin, and our beloved dog, Ella.
Kyri
Certified Dental Assistant
I attended Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech for dental assisting and graduated in 2008 with my radiology certification. I joined South Coast Smiles the same year! You'll hear my voice on the phone when you call our office, and I’ll be the person who greets you and your little ones when you arrive. I really enjoy interacting with our families and watching the children grow up.
I've been with my husband for 15 years and we have a daughter and a son. We enjoy spending time with our two dogs, a Pomeranian and mini Australian shepherd. Both of our children are black belts in karate, and my son plays baseball. Our down time is spent with family and friends or at sporting events for our kids!
Carolina
Licensed Dental Assistant
I’ve been a dental assistant for more than 15 years, though I just recently joined South Coast Smiles. I enjoy meeting all the kids, learning about their lives, and making sure they have a positive, encouraging experience at our office. During your child’s visit, I’ll make sure your little one is comfortable in the treatment chair and explain what Dr. Sean will be doing in kid-friendly terms.
I’ve been married for 16 years and have one fish. In my free time, I love listening to music, taking pictures, and traveling.
Tania
Licensed Dental Assistant
I took a certificate program for dental assisting in 2014 and joined South Coast Smiles in 2021 after moving to the East Coast. Our patients are my favorite part of my work. I love hearing about their interests and lives and look forward to catching up with them at their visits. It’s a great feeling to help children develop healthy, wonderful smiles!
My husband and I grew up in Texas and recently moved to Massachusetts with our two birds, Sunny and Sunflower. We’ve been happily married for nine years. The majority of my free time is spent volunteering and helping the community learn about the Bible. I also love to play tennis and ride my bike.
Shana
Website Coordinator
With over ten years of experience, I work with Dr. Sean and our website provider to build and maintain the South Coast Smiles website. I love creating an online presence where new and existing patients alike can find everything they need to know about Dr. Sean, the team, and the incredible dental care they provide!
As Dr. Sean's wife, I know he truly cares about his patients and provides the highest quality of care available. Dr. Sean is also essentially a kid at heart, which is why pediatric dentistry is such a good fit. He makes kids, young adults, and those with special needs feel comfortable, and he tries to make every interaction fun - with his silly socks or a fun trivia tidbit. Lucky for all of you, he practices them on me at home first! Dr. Sean also sets high standards for his talented, professional, and friendly team. You'd be hard-pressed to find another doctor and team that considers your family's needs as carefully as this one!
I live with Dr. Sean, our baby girl Zara, our dog Rumble, and our cat Topanga. We love spending time with our family and friends, trying new restaurants, and traveling to new places!
