Dawn 

My name is Dawn.  I graduated from Kirkwood Community College in 1982, and have been a Dental Assistant for more than 29 years. I have been at the Dental Center for over 9 years and have enjoyed working in many areas of the Dental Center. I make it a priority to put patients with high anxiety at ease and trying to make their dental experience a great visit.

Jamie

My name is Jamie. I am very excited to be part of the team at The Dental Center.  Everyone is exceptional at what they do, and they go above and beyond to make our patients feel welcome and comfortable.

I graduated from Kirkwood Community College in 2003 as a Certified Dental Assistant then, in 2004, became certified in Orthodontics.   Assisting in the Orthodontic process is very rewarding for me.  I enjoy the relationship we establish throughout treatment and then sharing the end result with our orthodontic patients!

Kim

My name is Kim.  I am a Certified and Registered Dental Assistant with 16 years experience.  I have worked exclusively with Dr. Haganman for the past 13 years and have attended many continuing education classes on esthetic dentistry and denture implants.  I really enjoy working with patients and getting to know them.  It is so interesting to follow their case from beginning to end to see the great final result. We have terrific doctors and a state-of-the-art practice with the latest technology.

I have 3 children and spend my free time chasing them around.  I like spending time with family and friends and doing anything outdoors.

Melissa

My name is Melissa, and I have been a part of The Dental Center team since May 2008. I graduated from Kirkwood Community College's dental assisting program in 2001 and continued training in expanded functions to give patients top-notch care. I have been working as a dental assistant for 10 years.  The Dental Center is a great place to work. I enjoy building long-lasting personal relationships with patients and hope to make their dental visits an enjoyable experience. The dentists at The Dental Center are so wonderful to work for and the care they give patients is amazing.
 

Monica

My name is Monica.  I am a registered Dental Assistant.  I was first introduced to The Dental Center as a patient in 2001 after hearing such positive remarks from patients. I absolutely loved the friendly staff and talented group of doctors.  When I began my training as a Dental Assistant, I was approached by Dr. Haganman to do all of my clinical training with him chair-side. I accepted the opportunity and have learned so much working side-by-side with him and the other assistants. I regularly attend continuing education classes to keep me current on all of the latest up-to-date education in the field of prosthodontics. 

It is so gratifying to work at an office that goes above and beyond to remain current on education necessary to stay at the top of the "dentistry world."   I was unbelievably lucky to be referred here as a patient and now to be a part of this outstanding office team.
