She has worked in orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, and general dentistry, all of which has given her insight into our patients’ needs. Her mission is to make sure patients start their appointments with a smile and leave with one as well!
Montana has an adventurous spirit. She loves to camp in new places, usually planned on a whim. Her favorite saying is “NO plans are the best plans.”
