I grew up in Reno, Nevada, and attended the University of Rochester, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Moving back to the West Coast, I then completed dental school at Oregon Health and Science University, graduating with my Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD). I have now practiced dentistry for ten years! I cant believe it the time has gone so fast!

I chose dentistry out of a love of biology, health, and healing. Our ability to treat disease so successfully still amazes me. And yet, there is an art to dentistry, too: I get to use my hands to make smiles more vibrant and beautiful, and that is really fun!

As a dentist, I am most passionate about making every visit and treatment comfortable and easy for the individual; I love to take the fear out of procedures and ensure each person feels secure and relaxed while here. The greatest compliment I can receive is when someone falls asleep during their procedure and yes, that happens and is wonderful!

I take great pride in always providing my patients with the latest proven, minimally-invasive care that dentistry has to offer. Each year I spend many hours learning how to use the latest technologies available, studying the newest research in prevention, and exploring the best innovations to provide dentistry as safely and comfortably as possible.

One of the most exciting innovations we have brought into the office is CEREC technology. We have been making crowns and onlays in-office for a year now and I feel I have a new lease on life as a dentist!

With this incredible advancement I am able to get rid of most temporaries, which means patients only have to heal once, and they dont have to baby a plastic tooth for three weeks while waiting for a lab to make the new tooth.

Instead, I get to design every aspect of the restoration and craft it here, in one day: I love having control over the fit, function, and appearance and love that it makes things so much easier for my patients!

Trent and I have a 12-year-old daughter, Peyton, and twin three-year old sons, Jack and Luke. We also have three dogs, Buster, Maggie, and Ashley, and a goldfish who is truly a survivor I have no idea how he is still with us .

The boys and I love playing at local Lodi parks; were especially fond of Lodi Lake. Occasionally I can be found on a golf course. If you see me there you should duck, as a ball may be flying your way. I am trying to learn how to golf, but really am terrible!

I also enjoy running and riding my bike around Lodi. I am passionate about exercise and make sure I do something every day, whether it be running, biking, swimming, Crossfit, or yoga. It helps keep me focused and I think I would be a mess without it.

Music is important to me, too. I studied double bass performance in college and play in the Stockton Concert Band. I love to play the piano at home and am currently helping teach Peyton while looking forward to introducing the boys to music.

Giving back to the community is another passion of mine, especially helping the underserved. I am on the board for the Loel Senior Center, helping raise money to fund Meals on Wheels in Lodi and Lockeford, as well as provide lunch and activities at the center. It is a great organization and we put on a fantastic lobster feed in November.

My team is my rock and foundation. Every team member compliments the office and, together, they are a dream. I am so lucky to have so much talent under one roof, and the icing on the cake is that they are all genuine and caring!

Each person who works in this office treats our patients with care and respect. They want our patients to be happy, healthy, and comfortable just as much as I do. I am honored to work with such amazing individuals and love how they support one another so we are able to provide the best experience for our patient family!

I was a dental assistant for a short period of time until I decided to pursue a career in dental hygiene. I have been a dental hygienist for 8 years now and love it. I enjoy connecting with patients and educating them about their oral health. On my spare time I enjoy working out, going on hikes, spending time with friends and family, and working on home projects with my husband. Ive been married for 2.5 years and have a beautiful 2-month-old baby boy and beautiful 9-year-old step-daughter. We enjoy most of our evenings in our backyard watching movies and love taking weekend trips to Pacific Grove or South Lake Tahoe.

I love that I am able to help people develop healthier smiles! This is an incredible practice and I really appreciate how Dr. Diehl is passionate about keeping up with dental technologies. We as an office continue to grow through continuing education, so were constantly incorporating new and safer products and processes!

I offer gentle dental cleanings, maintenance treatment, and lots of patient education. Teaching people why its important to take care of their oral health, and how to do it, helps each be healthier and happier.

I love my hometown of Lodi and that my spouse and I are raising two teenagers here. We love to watch Marvel movies and the new Star Wars, and we love trips to Disneyland and visiting the warm southern beaches. Were hoping to travel to the east coast and to Europe in the next few years, too.

I love helping patients feel confident in their smiles! Dr. Diehl is the kindest doctor and a lot of fun to work for. Our team is more like a family than coworkers and we are all best of friends. That makes it easy for us to maintain a happy, positive environment, which is great for us and, most of all, for our patients!

I have been a dental assistant for 4 years, but I have been pursuing a career in the dental field for even longer. My ultimate goal is to become a Dental Hygienist in the future. I learned very quickly that I enjoy my job because it has helped me live out the things I feel most strongly about. I believe in showing kindness and compassion in every aspect of my life. I am able to provide a caring hand while also providing great care to our patient while making connections along the way. Being apart of Dr. Diehl and Dr. Payne's team is an honor. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering at my church and being involved in all my kids activities. I am a wife and a mother to our 2 beautiful children. We enjoy spending time outdoors and experiencing new things

I love making a difference in patients health and being part of giving people smiles they feel confident in! Dr. Diehl is an amazing dentist who really cares about her patients and is constantly finding new ways to help with their oral health. She is super attentive, kind, and supportive and that is true of my coworkers, too!

As an RDA, I assist Dr. Diehl with all procedures while supporting and talking with our patient. My Extended Functions 2 certification allows me to provide direct patient care, under the doctors guidance, so I also fill fillings and cement crowns.

On my time off, my boyfriend and I like being with our big family, so there is never a dull moment. Whether it be hanging out outdoors, taking walks with our dogs, lounging in the living room, FaceTiming with my family in Texas, watching movies and sports, or playing video games, were always doing something! Every day is a blessing and rewarding, so we like to make the most of each moment.

I love being part of a team that creates beautiful smiles for a lifetime. The best part of my job is creating relationships with each and every patient that works through the door and being able to discuss with them their own customized treatment plans created by Dr. Diehl. Dr. Diehl is an amazing dentist. She is passionate, kind. caring and very well educated. She builds a bond with all her patients by listening and understanding their needs to create their perfect smiles. We have a team that is one of a kind, not only are we co-workers but we all have a bond as if we are family. Dr. Diehl and the team are the reason why I love to do what I do.

I love that we change peoples lives by giving them confidence in their smiles! Being part of Diehl Dental is being part of a family. That warmth, friendliness, and compassion includes our patients, as everything we do is focused on them!

As Dr. Diehls office manager, I oversee all aspects of keeping the practice organized and running smoothly. It is important we are providing the best service and environment for our patients, and I strive to ensure we are always ready to exceed expectations.

I gain great satisfaction seeing our patients walk out with brighter, healthier, and happier smiles! Dr. Diehl always provides the best, sincere, quality treatment, and she truly cares about every patient, as does everyone on the team. We think of our patients as family and provide them with the level care wed want for ourselves!

As a dental assistant, I perform a variety of office, laboratory, and patient care duties, including working chairside. I help Dr. Diehl during procedures and talk with our patient about what were doing, always checking to see that theyre comfortable in the chair.

We pride ourselves in following every CDC guideline for cleanliness, we use the best products and techniques available to make our dentistry last. But beyond providing the best service possible, we care the most. You wont find a happier team, anywhere: we are deeply committed to providing you the best experience and caring for you as family!

Theres no sales pitch or pressure, we promise. Instead, we will have an open conversation as we get to know each other and discuss how we can help you realize the bright and beautifully confident smile you deserve; call, today!
