Dr. Lenz started her career in dentistry as a dental assistant in 2006. She attended University of Nebraska Medical Center for Dental school and moved home to the Vancouver area with her husband in 2017 where she helped to open Comfort Dental Camas with Dr. Smith.. She has one son named Arthur and is adopting a daughter named May. Her skills include extractions, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, clear-aligner therapy, and dental implants.
Lauren has been a dental assistant since 2011. She is a licensed restorative assistant in both Oregon and Washington. She has worked in both the front and back office. She is our main training assistant and loves to teach other assistants the skills she's acquired over her years in the dental field. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her two children. Lauren grew up in Battle Ground and lives here with her family. She has worked with Dr. Lenz since 2018, but has known her since they were in high school together.
Yvonne is our staff member with the most dental experience, completing her Dental Assisting program at South Puget Sound Community College in 1999. Yvonne became an EFDA (restorative assistant) in 2010. Shes worked in specialty offices including both endodontic and pediatric offices, but has also worked in various Comfort Dental locations, which is how she met Dr. Lenz and Dr. Smith in 2018. She moved to be closer to family, but rejoined our team in 2021. She has done several volunteer projects through the years including the Smile Van and various community dental programs. Her attitude and teamwork cant be beat, and and she enjoys spending time outside of work with her sweet grandchildren.
Carly's dental career began in 2017 when she worked as a dental assistant intern for Dr. Lenz. She excelled as an assistant and quickly became a stand-out employee. Her organization and ability to problem-solve was recognized and when a position opened at the front office, the doctors knew shed be a great fit. Carly quickly became the show-runner and has done nothing but accelerate the growth of both offices. She has become the most knowledgeable about dental insurance, credentialing, chart auditing, appeals, and coding. Her background in clinical dentistry, dependability, and thorough work ethic make her a perfect fit for our Patient Care Coordinator.
Kim was first introduced to dentistry as a teenager, when she worked in a dental office for a short period of time. Although she enjoyed it, she spent most of her career as an estimator at a small printing company in Portland, Oregon. She made a career change in 2020 to spend more time with family. She was a fast learner and her professionalism and experience in customer service stood out immediately. Kim is married with two children, one still at home and one who plays soccer at Montana State University. She likes to have a good time and is also in charge of celebrating our birthdays and work anniversaries at the office.
Hannah joined our team in 2020 after she graduated from University of Arizona with a Bachelors in Health and Behavioral Sciences. She wanted to go into Dental Hygiene, but wanted to get her foot in the door in dentistry first. Without any experience, the doctors took a chance on her and were glad they did. She quickly became one of our most requested assistants. Hannah is known for her perfect temporaries, ability to polish any stain off someones teeth, and her thorough note-taking. She is also in charge of all of our social media activity and is our SureSmile (clear aligner therapy) coordinator. If you get a chance, give us a visit and send her a like or a comment on instagram or facebook!
Tiffany came to work for us in the spring of 2021 and although it is her first job in dentistry, she has been in the healthcare field for over 10 years. Her knowledge in the past year has excelled tremendously and we love having her around the office for her funny sense of humor and sweet demeanor. She is our only employee that we keep regularly scheduled at both locations. When shes not working, she enjoys spending time with her husky, Zayla. She loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, boating, riding motorcycles, snowboarding, and riding her RZR.

BEST DENTIST EVER!!!! I am from Texas, currently in Naples taking care of hurricane Ian victims. I had a bad wisdom tooth that I did not have a chance to attend to in TX. It subsequently got worse while here in Naples. I called over 20 dentists that would not or could not fit me in. Then I called the Tooth Doctor. Doctor Nguyen and his assistant Paula stayed late to help me!!! I ended up needing the teeth pulled. He took his time, was very thorough, incredibly professional and extremely kind. Even though it was after hours, he did not rush and they did not charge extra. The price was incredibly fair!!! Paula went next door to Publix and picked up my prescriptions for me because she didn't want me moving around more then I had too. I have never had two people be so considerate and caring towards me. Dr. Nguyen even called me later that evening to check on me. I don't care where I live or where I am, I will always fly back here to Naples to see my new family dentist, Dr. Nyguyen!

Dr. Lenz at the staff at Tooth Docs Battle Ground are nothing short of amazing. She's been treating me through my dental implant process; pulling teeth, shaving bone, anchoring steel posts - the whole thing. I was very apprehensive the day of my big procedure (pulling 22 teeth/placing posts) and she and her assistant put me at ease so quickly. The office has a very comforting feel to it and was super clean. Reception extremely helpful, friendly, and efficient. They have advanced technology at their hands and we went into the procedure knowing my mouth was fully mapped out and every single little detail addressed. The procedure itself was flawless and I credit that mostly to the dentists skill (she did have great help - her assistant was so kind and helpful!). My mouth is/was very complex and I have multiple challenges. I'm at the stage now of periodic X-rays until my implants are ready to be placed. Dr. Lenz and Tooth Docs BG has made this life changing experience one I will look back at with such a positive feeling.

I cannot thank Tooth Docs enough for the amazing experience I've had there, and how comfortable they made me feel! I have extreme dental anxiety due to multiple bad experiences in the past. I didn't go to the dentist for 5 years and only went because I've been having some pain from my wisdom teeth being impacted for the last 3 years. I finally decided to make an appointment, and did SO much research on who to go to. I looked at at least 20 different places, and read every single review I could find to make absolutely sure that I was finding the best dentist I could. During my X-ray appointment, I met the Dentist & hygienist that would be taking care of my fillings at the next appointment. They talked to me about my options with removing my wisdom teeth, and were very informative and helpful with making me feel calmer about getting the procedure done. The hygienist especially made me feel more comfortable & shared her experiences getting hers out, and really related with me. I had my appointment for fillings yesterday terrified, and wanting to walk out. I went in there almost in tears because I didn't want to have another bad experience. When I asked for a different numbing shot because I have a bad reaction to the usual one most people get, they asked absolutely no questions and accommodated me without making me feel guilty for asking. The hygienist checked in with me multiple times throughout the fillings if I was doing okay, and made me feel extremely comfortable and calm. The dentist was making everybody giggle, and made it overall a really good uplifting experience. I left feeling strong, and happy that I don't have to worry about cavities & I'm excited to go in for my cleaning in 6 months! I know this review might sound a little dramatic & over the top, but I just wanted anybody who reads this who might potentially be dealing with a similar issue in finding a good dentist to know that this place is absolutely amazing. Even their lobby is amazing, whoever does the decor there is 10/10 so cool! (and they play good music too) Super relaxing and fun environment!!!

OK... Anyone who says something negative and bad about this place is projecting their own lifestyle because all of the ladies here are so kind and helpful to me every time I visit. I've been to a lot of dentists and have state insurance which doesn't give me a lot of options, and I'm so grateful this place opened because it is the best dentist I have been to in a long time. They always give me a thorough exam and honest status of what's going on with my teeth. You can tell they care because they make an effort to socialize with patients, the prices are reasonable, and you can tell they love what they do. If I'm ever nervous or don't understand the terminology, they gently and kindly explain it to me. A+ to entire team.

Best dentist I have ever been too! Dr. Lenz was so kind and patient with me. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to dentists. She put off such a calming vibe, as did the staff, I was almost immediately relieved. I had to have a tooth pulled and she did it so quick, no pain and minimal locals. I went home and rested expecting to wake up in pain and was surprised to wake up to no pain and very little discomfort. Day 2, no pain or discomfort! I cannot say enough good things about this place. I was hesitant due to the few reviews they had even though they were all 5*. Do not hesitate! They are amazing!

Had a previously bonded tooth chip and am between insurances. Was evaluated and given an affordable plan that fit my needs. Dr. Lenz was personable and understanding. Honestly seems like an incredibly clean, quality and affordable dentist office.

Dr. Lenz is a fantastic dentist! I had a great experience recently when I went in for a long over due exam and cleaning. I don't have insurance and I found it was very affordable which makes it all the more better! Thanks!
