I have been a dental hygienist since graduating from the University of MN in 2003. I love getting to know patients and being able to provide the best care I can for them. I want to do everything I can to make them feel comfortable in the dental setting. I live with my husband and our 2 boys in Annandale. We enjoy living on the lake every season of the year. I especially love summers, hiking, kayaking, agate hunting and going for bike rides. Winters are great when we get to snowmobile or downhill ski.
I have been an LDA since 2013. I enjoy interacting with patients and helping to make them feel as comfortable as possible when they visit our office. I have been a lifelong resident of Buffalo and enjoy working so close to home! My husband and I have 2 adult children. In my free time I enjoy cooking, crafting, and spending time with my family.
I have been in the dental field since 2014. I enjoy welcoming patients into the office and making their time checking in and out as smooth as possible. As someone who has battled dental anxiety for most of my adult life, I understand how some people may feel coming to see us. My husband and I have 3 daughters and we live in the St. Michael-Albertville area. In my free time I enjoy crafting, gardening and traveling.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Community Health from MSU-Mankato in 2008. I subsequently attended St. Cloud Technical and Community College to obtain my Dental Hygiene degree. I love to share my passion for oral health with my patients and help them achieve their best smile. I live in Becker with my husband, our two daughters, and our lab. We love being outdoors and watching sports. I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, and volleyball.
I have been a LDA since 2018. Taking care of patients and helping them with their oral health is a huge passion of mine. I want all of my patients to feel welcome and comfortable while they are here. I live with my husband, our son and 2 dogs in Kingston. We enjoy going 4-wheeling, camping and spending time with our family.

I am definitely one that does NOT love the dentist. Like at all. Cue severe anxiety, etc etc. But earlier this year I finally decided to get back to regular dental care after years of avoiding it. Jackie has been my hygienist both times now and she is just absolutely fantastic! I don't really know how she did it, but she was able to get X-rays done without me needing to be numb first (literally the last time I could get them done my whole lower jaw was numbed). I still don't like going to the dentist, but knowing I have a clinic of great people that actually listen, certainly helps!

I am new to the area and they worked with me to get me in. on an emergency basis. I had horrible pain in a tooth, they got me in and took the time to discuss everything with me. I will definitely be going back for my routine cleanings.

Dr. Tripp and the rest of the staff at Sunfish Dental make "going to the dentist" an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Dr. Tripp is so gentle and personable -- I've referred Sunfish to all of our friends in the area!

We switched the whole family in August to Sunfish Dental in Maple Lake. We are now on care plans and all caught up. My husband had a root canal and was very please with the results. I had more than a few cavities filled and was very impressed with the staff. On Sept. 20 my 12 year old had an accident at school and broke both front teeth off and Dr. Tripp and her whole staff have been amazing. She got him in and has been able to refer us and take us through the process to get him new teeth. He had stiches and will finish his teeth in the next weeks. We are so thankful for a local hometown dentist.

Sunfish Dental has a welcoming feeling right when you walk through the door. The staff are extremely welcoming! They didn't judge me when I told them I haven't been to the dentist in a few years. They made me feel comfortable and was able to get a great cleaning. They told me about their loyalty program which will be great in using with future visits! Highly recommend!

The staff is so friendly and personable! I have always hated going to the dentist for various reasons, almost afraid to go, so I hadn't been to a dentist in 6 years But when I went to Sunfish Dental for the first time after they opened, I felt so comfortable there, it was almost like I had been going there for years already. I loved that they explained what they were doing during the cleanings and the check ups, it puts you at ease a little more. They also gave me tips on what I could do to improve my overall oral health! Now I go back every 6 months for a check up and don't hate it "as much" Keep up the great work Sunfish Dental Team and thank you for helping me with my fears of the dentist!

Absolute perfection here! I'm so glad you sent the flyer in the mail as I was shocked when my last appointment in Buffalo and my favorite dental ladies were gone! Worked out awesome as I moved to Maple Lake 1.5 yrs ago. Always ask how things are, addressing every concern, complete and thorough cleanings and checkups. Never any issues afterwards, and always feel clean and healthy. This wonderful group of gals are always friendly, smiling, joking with each other like they love their job and working with each other. This is my forever Dental Home! - "Chris" lol

I should start by saying I hate going to the dentist.... I chipped a tooth last week and even though it hurt, my "dental anxiety" was trying to convince me I could just live with it, lol. When I could no longer bear the pain I called sunfish Dental and they got me in the next morning. Dr. Tripp assessed the damage, put a plan into place, and literally 20 minutes later I walked out of the office pain-free with a fixed tooth...20 minutes! I love this place!
