Hello, my name is Mary. I have been working at Dana Dental Arts since 2007. I graduated from Champlain College on beautiful Lake Champlain in Vermont, which is also where I grew up. I have enjoyed using my medical business degree here, whether it is working in the lab, assisting the doctors or working at the front desk. We have a really great group of people here. We are all dedicated to bringing the very best dental care possible to all of our patients. I enjoy being an active part of the community and especially supporting music and the arts in the Black Hills.

Hello, my name is Debra. I had the amazing opportunity to move up here in 2008 from Boulder City, Nevada, to be closer to my sister and her family. I decided that I wanted to spend my life here in Spearfish and have been employed at Dana Dental Arts since June 2008. I have loved my job every step of the way and love growing with great people. My job allows me to learn new things on a daily basis, with the flexibility of enjoying my family and all the great things that the Hills have to offer. I enjoy and look forward to serving all our patients here at Dana Dental Arts.   I love my work family and have built lifelong friendships with my co-workers! I have been married to my husband, Lance, since 2010. We survived our first deployment in 2012, which made us grow stronger than we could have ever imagined. We had our first child, Alton, in 2013, who is our strong-willed, smart and crazy little boy.

Hi, I’m Sierra! I am from a small town in western South Dakota. I grew up on a cattle ranch and still enjoy that lifestyle! I love Spearfish because it feels like a small town but with more opportunities. I graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in human services and psychology but absolutely fell in love with the dental field! I’m excited to come to work every morning to meet all of our awesome patients and spend time with my coworkers! I’m blessed to live in the Black Hills and have a job that doesn’t feel like a job!

Hey there! My name is Miranda and I am a registered dental assistant here at Dana Dental Arts. I am originally from Edgerton, Minnesota. I was a CAN for four years and knew that I wanted a career in the medical field but was not sure what. I attended college at Minnesota West Community & Technical College and graduated in the dental assisting program in May 2019. I have always loved coming to the Black Hills and riding ATVs and snowmobiling for vacation, and I always thought of how cool it would be to live here. Now here I am! I am beyond thankful for all the amazing friendships and bonds I have made with my co-workers here, or as I like to call them — my second family! I love going to work each day to see everyone’s smiles and care for our patients. When not at work, you will find me out and about. I love to fish, kayak, hike, wakeboard, ride the trails in dust or snow, or relax in my hammock. I look forward to meeting you!
