About
During my career, I have developed strong proficiency in routine dental procedures, including cleaning, fillings, polishing, taking X-rays, as well as assisting with crowns, veneers, and implants. I proactively ensure all equipment is prepared in advance before the dentist needs it and adapt quickly and efficiently if things change during procedures.
