From routine dental maintenance to emergency care, we put your comfort first. The Gentle Dentist has been part of the Collegeville, Trappe, PA community since 1959, and is privately owned and operated.

As a trusted local dental practice for over fifty years, we offer most specialty services under one roof, at one convenient location.

I enjoy helping people achieve a higher level of health by providing personalized, precise dental therapies and dental expertise for all my patients, young and not so young, and all stages of dental care. Through my Fellowship, research and continuing education, I am especially focused on medically complex and geriatric patients. Over the past 17 years, I have gained experience in many aspects of dentistry, from simple preventive care to complex restorative procedures. I am proud to offer a high standard of care whether I am placing a filling or creating a new, beautiful smile with a cosmetic dental makeover.

In my free time, I truly love teaching and learning. I also love spending time with my two daughters, our fabulous dog and new kitten. My daughters and I enjoy cooking together, learning new recipes as well as making traditional recipes. We also enjoy making organic household and personal care products, and when I get a private moment, I love to read.

Dental HygienistWorking closely with our patients, I get to learn about their lives beyond their oral health care needs. We talk with each other and find common ground and interests, developing real relationships with each other. I love that my work brings me into contact with such great people. I perform preventive services and maintenances, triage emergency dental patients, and provide periodontal treatments. During each visit, I talk with patients about their oral health and how to perform proper maintenance at home, to keep their mouths healthy and in an optimal state. Beyond the office, I enjoy the outdoors and you may find me on our local trails and waterways.

Dental HygienistI really enjoy the daily interaction I have with our patients. Learning about them and their lives, sharing stories and interests, makes my work day pass fast. Along the way theres a lot of laughter, too, which is always a good thing. I perform dental prophylaxis, scaling and root planning, apply Fluoride treatments, perio charting, and I take X-rays. I am also licensed to administer local anesthesia. A lot of my day is spent one-on-one with patients, talking with them about home oral hygiene practices and how to keep their teeth and gums healthy between visits. On my days off, youll find me spending time with my daughter Grace and playing with my dog Louie. I am married, and I enjoy music, antiquing, and visiting historic sites.

Office Manager and Expanded Functions Dental AssistantInteracting with our patients, while educating them about dental care and good oral hygiene practices, is very enjoyable to me. I like that our doctors and our team members are so passionate about providing excellent oral health care, and that there is always an emphasis on preventing problems before they develop. As the Office Manager, I am responsible for organizing and overseeing the day to day operations of the office and staff. As an Expanded Function Dental Assistant, I place and contour composite and other restorative materials, place sealants, and polishing teeth. In my free time outside work, I like to be with my husband, Kyle, and sons, Brody, Chase and Dylan. I enjoy kayaking and hiking with my family.

Insurance Coordinator My name is Kim. I currently reside in the Boyertown Area with my husband & two young children. I left a career in Real Estate to stay at home full-time but felt there was a balance missing. That is when I found the Gentle Dentist. The staff here is truly one-of-a-kind. They are kind & compassionate people and made me feel right at home. During my short time here as the Insurance Coordinator I have come to love the personal connection this office achieves with their patients. This welcome environment makes it a pleasure to come to work every day!

Patient Coordinator Hello, my name is Stacie. I have been working in the field of dentistry for 25 years. I was educated at Harcum College and Temple Dental School where I was trained as an Expanded Functions Dental Assistant. As the years progressed I made my way to Reception and Scheduling. Being able to coordinate and serve in all aspects of my chosen field has proven to be powerfully rewarding. When I am not at the office sharing in good times either with my fellow staff or all of our patients that we love so much, you will find me hanging out with my three besties. That would be my 9 year old daughter and two beautiful kitties. Spending summers at the Jersey Shore and celebrating Halloween are also on my list of favorite things to do. I hope to continue to develop meaningful relationships not only with this wonderfully caring and highly educated and gifted group of souls, but also with our patients. See you at the office!
