Dena brings over 36 years of experience in dental hygiene after graduating from Oakland Community College. Throughout her rewarding career, she’s proudly balanced her passion for dentistry with raising her three boys and is now embracing her newest title: first-time grandma!

She joined the Nurture Family Dental team in April 2025 and has loved building strong, genuine relationships with both patients and her teammates. Always eager to learn, Dena brings a caring spirit, positive energy, and a heart for helping others feel comfortable and cared for.

Outside the office, you’ll find her soaking up the outdoors whether it’s biking, gardening, camping, or riding on the back of a Harley with her significant other, Denny. She also loves quilting, sewing, baking, and trying new recipes.

We’re so grateful to have Dena’s experience, warmth, and joy on our team!
