If you read our team bios, you will see that a lot of us came into the dental field by chance. All of us stay, not just because we love it, but because we are continuously inspired by our patients and the self-growth dentistry provides. We are committed to excellency at this office.

It can be easy to get complacent in a comfort zone and to keep practicing the same way year after year. This, however is not who we are. We provide you and your family with the highest standard of care through our shared love of continuous learning. Our understanding the role that the mouth, teeth and airway play in affecting the rest of the body drives our passion to fully support your health goals.

From a young age I was drawn to healthcare, but, ultimately, felt connected to dentistry because I found it fulfilling, hands on work that has both an artistic and pragmatic side to it not typical in other healthcare environments. I attended UVM for undergraduate and continued on to NYU College of Dentistry. Following dental school, I completed a one year general practice residency at North Shore University Hospital in New York.

I hate the dentist, is possibly the most common phrase uttered about my profession. My approach to how I practice dentistry is, first and foremost, centered around empathy. I understand that, for many, coming to see me can often be a source of stress or fear, so I strive to alleviate any of your anxiousness around your care however possible. My team and I aim to make your experience with us positive, comfortable, clean, and safe.

I have a strong passion for continuing education and, as a result, my practice has evolved; we hold ourselves to a high standard of care and a more comprehensive approach to your health. This means that, as a highly-trained team, we are committed to helping you identify and realize your wellness goals through providing education, direct care, and, when necessary, partnering with other providers to best serve you. We believe in getting to the source of any health issues when possible, not just providing 'band-aid' solutions.

My commitment to this community and surrounding towns is reflected not only through support for local events, organizations, and activities, but also through my work to help build a vibrant downtown right here in Cape Elizabeth.I feel fortunate to call this community home with my wife, Phebe, and my three sons, Gabe, Liam, and Theo.

I started in the dental field in 2018 and could never have imagined that I would love it at much as I do. As the practice manager, I get to work closely with our patients and this team to help create a practice that is always evolving and keeping up with the latest research and education. Since starting, I have gone on to earn my fellowship through the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM), as well as been on the board for our local AADOM Chapter as VP.

The ability to use my bachelor's degree in Health and Wellness to help Two Lights Dental become a more whole-body and integrative practice is very fulling professionally. It also makes me so happy for you as a patient, knowing that we truly care for you and your family on a much deeper level than just focusing on concerns with your teeth. You are getting the very highest level of care at our practice.

I have practiced as a registered dental hygienistsince 2001, specializing in non-surgical periodontal therapy for the last decade. I brought my knowledge of the oral systemic link and how we can better treat our patients with a whole-body understanding and approach of this infection with me when I joined the Two Lights Dental team in 2020. I am passionate about this subject, having a mother who had lost teeth due to this disease and saw the effects it has not only on her physical well-being, but also her mental well-being.

The last few years, I have completed specialized training to become an Orofacial Myofuctional Therapist, focusing on how we sleep and breath. I am currently working with many different medical professionals, on a collaborative approach to treatment, and Im very excited about the results that we are seeing. When I hear ourpatients are sleeping better, headaches improving, decreased jaw pain, anxiety levels going down, and overall feeling better, it reinforces why we at Two Lights Dental are so much more than just your dental office; we are your partner to a better quality of life.

I have had the pleasure of watching this practice grow in many ways as I have been with Two Lights Dental from the very start. I have worked in the dental field for over 20 years and have had the privilege of forming many special relationships with our patients. My favorite thing has been watching patients who started coming to us as children, now grown and bringing their own families to us. This is what makes being a part of this practice so meaningful to me.

At Two Lights Dental, everyone on this team cares for our patients on an individual level, and as we continue to grow, Im excited for our patients as we transition from going beyond just treating teeth to treating the body as a whole.

I never would have believed you if you had told me a few years ago that Id be working at a dentists office. I was very much a dental outsider when I began working at Two Lights. After a year of being the jack of all trades here at our office, Ive settled into a role at our front desk, handling everything from patient intake to inventory management. Some days youll still find me making whitening trays or printing 3D models.

When it comes to working the front desk, my hope is that I make it easy for you to understand what to expect from us and what we need from you. As my role evolves here, I aim to make processes that are simple and straight forward.

When Im not here at Two Lights Dental, I can be found walking the beach with my Yorkie Roxie, travelling (anywhere I can go), and working as a Dental Hygiene Clinical Instructor at the University of New England.

I have been practicing as a hygienist since 2008 and joined the Two Lights Dental team in 2017. Fun fact: When I was in college, someone told me I would make a great dental hygienist, so I switched my major in from biology to dental hygiene, and I'm so glad that I did!

When I'm not at Two Lights Dental, I work as a clinical instructor at my alma mater, the University of New England, teaching the next wave of dental hygienists. I graduate with a master's degree in Psychology in the summer of 2022. I am an avid golfer and belong to the Purpoodock Club here in Cape Elizabeth.

I got accepted to UNEs hygiene program which meant packing up my things and moving halfway across the country to fulfill my goal and dream of becoming a hygienist. I finally achieved my dream in 2021 when I graduated from UNE.

I fell into dentistry at the age of 18 with little knowledge of how the dental world worked other than the usual brush and floss twice a day. I had always wanted to work in healthcare but hadnt quite figured out where my fit was until I became a dental assistant. My passion for the dental field has only grown larger through my experience over these past few years. I love how dentistry is always evolving!

I am a fully certified dental assistant (CDA) and am looking forward to becoming an expanded functions dental assistant (EFDA) within the office. I take pride in Dr. Jacobson's work and my role in keeping our patients healthy and happy. Also, I could not ask to work with a better team!

I love what I do! Ever since I started my career as a dental assistant, I found a passion for helping to educate patients and supporting them to improve their smiles and health. I love working with people and getting to know them on a personal level. I have my CDA and am looking to further my education and become an EFDA.

I am originally from NH and went to school at Seacoast Career in Manchester, NH. I have happily lived in ME with my husband and three children for about 5 years now. We enjoy going to the beach/lake and playing lots of board games.
