In order to meet all these variables Dr. Cutters main objective is to get to know you as a patient and as a person. The entire Soothing Dental team performs under the same understanding. We see dentistry as an opportunity to offer a service that goes beyond treating your teeth.
Our mission at Soothing Dental is to hold your hand and walk you through the treatment you need in a comfortable and friendly environment. Dentistry does not need to be complicated or scary. We can help you and your family to get and maintain happy, beautiful and healthy smiles! Carrying on the excellent dental care this practice has offered for over 40 years is our primary mission.
Practicing dentistry is something I am truly passionate about. It is an opportunity to contribute to my patients health and quality of life. By treating my patients I can improve and maintain their oral health, enhance their smiles esthetics and establish a relationship with them. Getting to really know my patients allows me to tailor their dental treatment to their needs, desires and finances.
I would like to share a little about myself in order for you to get to know me better. I moved to Michigan in 2005 after obtaining my DDS degree and working in private practice for a number of years in Caracas-Venezuela, where I was born and raised.
In Michigan I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the University of Michigan where I completed a 2-year Post-Doctorate program in 'Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry' along with the great experience of teaching. Following my graduate studies I taught for a short time at Detroit Mercy, School of Dentistry.
Teaching was a wonderful experience, but I deeply missed the connections and trust that are created in private practice. Establishing a personal relationship with my patients and their families and being able to take care of their oral health and smiles is my true passion!
I live in Novi with my husband Kreig, who was born and raised in Michigan, and my two wonderful children. If you like to get to know me better, ask me about my family, my passion of health related matters, or my love of cooking and fitness. I am interested in finding out what is special to you, too!
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Michigan. I have had the privilege to work in this dental practice for over 20 years. I worked with Dr. Robert Evans (founder of this practice), Dr. Ken Hovey and also Dr. Andrea Vivian. What I have enjoyedmost is the rapport and lasting relationships I have built with my patients, while always striving to provide an unsurpassed quality of dentalcare. I am now blessed to be working with Dr. Cutter (2015) and I am confident we will carry on that tradition! I agree with this quote from Dr. Evans, 'What makes dentistry such a great career is not the teeth that we treat, but it is the people that are attached to the teeth!'
I studied Education at Northern Michigan University and worked for the Hilbert School District in Wisconsin. I always found myself interested in a beautiful smile, which motived me to take Dental Assisting classes at Fox Valley Technical Institute in Appleton, WI. Classes were focused on all aspects of front desk management and dental assisting. I took the dental assisting board exam in Green Bay, WI and worked for a year there before making the move back to Michigan. I worked as dental assistant in downtown Plymouth until I had my three beautiful children. From there, I worked 17 years for two dentists in Westland. Then, I decided to make the move back to Plymouth where I began working with Dr. Vivian and Dr. Hovey. I look forward to seeing and being involved in the growth that Dr. Cutter has in store for the practice.
My husband is a Plymouth native who teaches in the Plymouth-Canton School District. I have two sons, Adam and Kevin, and a daughter, Brett. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, being outside, and spending time with my family, my dog, and my friends.
