SAMANTHA
DENTAL ASSISTANT
Shortly after Samantha graduated from Brentwood High School, she found she had a passion for all things related to dentistry. This led me to a career at Lanz Associates in Dentistry, where she has been a Dental Assistant since 2015.
Because many people consider a trip to the dentist scary or uncomfortable, Samantha is especially passionate about doing all that she can to ensure that every patient has the most positive and comfortable experience possible. She considers the best part of her job, by far, the relationships she's formed with our patients and coworkers.
Samantha loves her work and she looks forward to continuing her education and having a long, rewarding career with Lanz Associates in Dentistry. She feels this office is not just a place where I work; it's family.
