I have been a dedicated dental hygienist at Dental Comfort Center for over 30 years, bringing my passion for patient care to every appointment. I strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for every patient. Beyond work, I am deeply committed to my faith, cherish my family, and stay active through my love of running. I am happily married, a proud mother of four, and a grandmother to my six grandchildren. My approach to life is rooted in kindness, compassion, and a desire to make a positive impact on those around me.

Mallory
I grew up in North Western Nevada and moved to Sioux Falls in 2012. I attended O'Gorman High School where I played soccer and basketball. I graduated from USD in 2021 where I got my bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene. Soon after school I started working at the Dental Comfort Center.

Theresa
I was born and raised right here in Sioux Falls and graduated from Roosevelt High School. After high school, I went to the University of South Dakota and graduated from the dental hygiene program in 2007. After working at two other offices in town, I landed with the Dental Comfort Center in 2021 and have enjoyed the fun and laid back, yet professional atmosphere. After all these years, I still love what I do. I enjoy talking with patients and getting to know them outside of their teeth. It's important to build rapport and trust. I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable. Patient education is also very important to me so I use the intraoral camera a lot to go over things you can't see.
My husband John and I have three children, Macy (9), Allie (7) and Jack (3). They keep us very busy. We all love to swim, bike, be outside, sing and have dance parties. Our house can be loud, but is full of love!
