Our staff has a combined 150 years of dental experience. We love what we do and offer comprehensive, high quality, gentle care in our state-of-the-art practice.
I joined the Claessens team in 1999 I am an active member in the American Dental Hygiene Association and give back to the profession by teaching at State College of Florida Dental Hygiene Program. I live in North Port with my husband, Matt and my three children Colin, Ashley and Trenton. We enjoy all family activities such as boating, camping, fishing, outdoor and indoor sports.
I started in the office May 2015. I have been in dentistry since 1993 and I am very fortunate to have a profession I truly love. I am responsible for assisting Dr. Claessens in creating beautiful, healthy smiles one client at a time. I was born and raised in Venice, FL. In my off time, you can find me traveling to different rodeo and bull riding events. I also help my husband, Wagner whom I married in 2011, manage his company Champion Pavers.
I joined Dr. Claessens and his team in July 2022. | began my career in Dentistry as a Certified Dental Assistant and found that I enjoyed working the front desk, answering phones, and being the first person to greet the patients when they walk through the door.
I was born and raised in North Port, FL, and lived in Maine for two years, where my husband was stationed for the Coast Guard. We moved back to sunny Florida in 2020 and couldn't be happier! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family on the boat and fishing!
