Although I work at Crown Dentistry on a part-time basis, I have a full-time dedication to the care I give our wonderful patients. I have been in the dental field for the last 33 years, starting out as a dental assistant and becoming a dental hygienist in 2001. I graduated from Foothill College, where our RDH class placed second in national boards!

Not only will I clean your teeth, I will also do my best to educate and assist you in making decisions that lay a healthy foundation for oral health. My goal is to ensure that my patients understand how periodontal disease happens and the manner in which we can prevent it. I truly enjoy my work of contributing to your healthy smile. One of my favorite things about being your hygienist is getting to know YOU!

I worked as a Dental Assistant, briefly, while I worked on my degree to get into the Dental Hygiene program. I graduated and became a licensed Registered Dental Hygienist in 2015. I can honestly, and truly, say Dental Hygiene is my passion in life and Im so blessed to have found it. Working for Dr. Chan and the rest of the Crown Crew has been an amazing, educational, and personally developing experience.

Aside from being a Hygienist, Im a total Dog Mom to an eight-year-old Rat Terrier and love all animals. I recently became a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. I enjoy participating in recreational softball, hiking, kayaking, spending time with people, running, traveling, and baking. Go Jags!

I received a degree in nursing in 1997, but I was quickly disheartened by the role nurses played in the medical field at that time. When I had the opportunity to join a very well established dental practice and apply my medical knowledge to dentistry, I jumped at the chance. Dr. Chan also worked at that practice. We have worked together ever since, and I couldnt be happier. I love the people I work with and we have all become like family.

I have a wonderful husband named Troy and two Boxer dogs named Tess and Duke that have hilarious personalities. I love to watch my husband race his car, and together, we enjoy jetskiing and playing pool.

For almost 15 years, my work life has revolved around dentistry. I have been active in every area of the dental practice, from chairside assisting to front office administration. This experience really helps me make sure Dr. Chans practice is operating smoothly and efficiently. My favorite part of the job, though, is interacting with patients, getting to know them, understanding their dental needs, making sure they understand the purpose of their next visit, and helping them with financial planning for their care.

I have studied at both Fresno City College and Kaplan College, and since graduation, I have been dedicated to helping patients fit dentistry into their day-to-day lives. Now I have the pleasure of working with a team that is just as committed to both patients and dentistry as I am! We are not only co-workers; we are family.

Dental implants have become the preferred measure of patient care when it comes to replacing missing or failing teeth. Implants, made of titanium roots, are biocompatible and encourage new bone formation, allowing them to be even stronger than regular tooth roots. This means that implants can be used to support anything from single porcelain crown to multiple tooth dental bridges, or even full mouth dentures.

Although many dentists offer implant restoration services, there are far fewer that provide start to finish implant therapy in their practices. Dr. Christopher Chan provides implant therapies beginning with comprehensive treatment as well as restoring implants for patients that have come from other dental practices.

Titanium is extremely biocompatible, making it the material of choice for many types of procedures, including joint replacements. A process called osseointegration encourages new bone growth around the implant, fusing it with the jaw and making it extremely strong, so strong that the weight of multiple teeth can be supported on just one implant root.

Traditional dentures are often bulky and make it difficult to enjoy meals or even to talk. Implant-retained dentures are much more streamlined. Shaped like a U, they follow the shape of the natural jawbone in the mouth and free up space that was traditionally used to create a suction to hold the denture in. Most implant-retained dentures can be placed on as few as 4 implant roots. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures stay in place permanently and never have to be removed.
