Kolbie, Registered Dental Hygienist

Kolbie moved to Kelowna from Kamloops where she had worked as a Registered Dental Hygienist for the past 12 years. Kolbie attended the College of New Caledonia in Prince George and obtained her diploma in Dental Hygiene. A gentle and caring individual, Kolbie strives to provide excellent patient care and create a positive experience for everyone at ToothZone Kids.

She is excited to meet and form lasting relationships with all of our patients and families. Kolbie enjoys traveling with her husband and two kids as well as learning about all the great
amenities the Okanagan Valley has to offer.

Milena, Dental Assistant

Milena works along side Dr. Mathew and Dr. Natalie as a dental assistant. She has always been passionate about working with kids as her previous employment was being a nanny with multiple families. She is committed in providing excellent patient care in a calm, caring and gentle manner. Born and raised in Germany (she speaks fluent English and German), Milena and her family moved to Canada a few years ago and she now calls the Okanagan home. The move inspired her favorite hobby, traveling and getting to know different cultures.

Ariana , Registered Dental Hygienist

Ariana is a registered dental hygienist who received her diploma in dental hygiene from the Vancouver College of Dental Hygiene in 2018.  The career choice came from her love of serving the community, science and her own fond experiences at the dentist when she was a kid.  Now she has come full circle and wants to impart the same joy she experienced from her dentist to the many children she serves working at ToothZone Kids.

Ariana enjoys spending time with her two older sisters and working with horses.  In the summer, the beach and her convertible are two of her favorite things.  She also loves to sing but is shy performing in front of an audience.

Alicia, Registered Dental Hygienist

Alicia joined our team as a registered dental hygienist after receiving her diploma in dental hygiene in 2018 from the Vancouver Collage of Dental Hygiene. Alicia was inspired to try dental hygiene largely due to the fun she had at the dentist as a child. Her goal is to provide the same fun and positive experiences she had to the children in her care.
  
Alicia loves the Bible, spending time with her family and learning about strange and unique animals. She also enjoys riding horses and going for long drives and soaking in the beauty all around.
