Crystal

RDA (Registered Dental Assistant)

“I spent my childhood in Prunedale, CA. During my senior year, I had the opportunity to babysit for a dentist, which sparked my interest in the field of dentistry.

In 2011, I made the decision to relocate to Paso Robles, and I can confidently say that I am here to stay. I am incredibly happy working with Dr. Springe and the team. What I love most about this profession is the ability to make a significant impact on people's lives by assisting Dr. Springe in providing high-quality care. Now that my children are grown, I am a proud grandmother of two adorable grandchildren who happen to be twins.

The dental field is constantly evolving, and I find joy in learning something new every day, allowing myself to grow as an assistant. The patients I work with are truly wonderful, and there is no greater satisfaction than seeing them smile as a result of the care we provide.

Office Manager

“From the moment I stepped into the world of dentistry, I knew deep down that I had found my calling. Helping our community understand the importance of oral health has become my true passion. As the office manager at our dental practice, my main goal is to build a talented and dedicated team that can provide outstanding dental care to our patients.

When I'm not busy playing tooth fairy, you can often find me cherishing precious moments with my amazing kids, exploring thrilling off-roading adventures with my trusty jeep in the embrace of nature, or finding peace and tranquility by a lakeside campfire.”

Lauren

RDH ( Registered Dental Hygienist)

“I grew up in San Diego and moved to San Luis Obispo to attend Cal Poly where I graduated with a bachelor's in animal science. After working in the animal field, I knew that I wanted to switch it up and go into the medical field where I could work to improve the public's health. I decided to attend Taft College and graduated from their dental hygiene program in 2019.

As a dental hygienist, I pride myself on providing quality, detailed, informative, and comfortable care. My patients always come first, and I enjoy improving their smiles. Outside of the office, you'll find me chasing my son around, riding my horses, and enjoying the outdoors with my family.”

Kilce

Dental Assistant

“I moved to the USA in 2001 from my home country of Brazil. Back there, nobody really emphasized the importance of dental care to me, like daily brushing or flossing. But then, something amazing happened in my first month here — I met my incredible best friend who happens to be a dentist with 25 years of experience. Their passion for dentistry rubbed off on me and inspired me to pursue a career in the dental field.

Working in dentistry isn't easy. It's a challenging job because many people feel anxious, fearful, or experience pain when they visit the dentist. These emotions create barriers to maintaining good oral health habits and achieving positive outcomes. That's where I come in, as a dental assistant at Pacific Coast Dentistry. The most rewarding part of my work is being able to make things right. It's an incredible feeling when people express their gratitude and tell me that I'm the best at what I do.

Outside of the office, I wear many hats. I'm a loving wife, a determined mom, and a funny friend. I also have a passion for traveling and immersing myself in different cultures. It's amazing to connect with people from various nationalities and embrace their unique traditions and ways of life.”

Erin

Patient Care Coordinator

As our Patient Care Coordinator, I love to see the transformations that our patients go through from start to finish when coming to our office. Seeing patients smile with relief that their dental needs have been fulfilled makes me gleeful. As a local of this beautiful county, I spend most of my time with my husband and my dogs exploring. I enjoy rock hounding and creating jewelry in my spare time. If I am not doing that, you will find me napping in my hammock.
