Danyelle started working as a dental assistant in 1998 and has been a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2005 when she graduated top of her class clinically from what is now known as Utah Tech University. Besides the top clinical award, she also received the 2004 Student of the Semester award and the 2005 Utah Campus Compact award, which is given annually to only one student, faculty and community member from every school in the state for recognition of their service learning collaborations. Upon graduation from the dental hygiene program, the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) and Utah Dental Hygienists’ Association (UDHA) awarded Danyelle with their Future Leader Award. She has been a proud member of her professional association ever since, including her years as a student. The ADHA and UDHA have allowed her numerous volunteer and leadership opportunities throughout the years.

Some of Danyelle’s proudest accomplishments come from her volunteer work as the UDHA Legislative Chair. With the help of her committee, she successfully led her association through the process of passing Utah Senate Bill 177 which allows people who cannot walk through the traditional dental office door, direct access to a dental hygienist for preventive and therapeutic oral health services. Since then she has been instrumental in passing teledentistry language and legislation that allows dental hygienists to enroll as Medicaid providers.

Danyelle loves being a dental hygienist and is known for providing gentle, thorough, comprehensive care with honesty and integrity. She values treating her patients as a whole person, not just a mouth, through every season of their life and meeting them where they are with their oral health goals. So whether you’re looking to continue the care you’ve always received or are looking for a fresh start, Danyelle is excited to help you obtain your optimal oral health.
