Alta
Dental Assistant
Among my many duties as a dental assistant, I really enjoy working with Invisalign® patients, taking dental photographs, and assisting in four-handed dentistry. My favorite part of my job, however, is making sure each patient is comfortable and feels at ease when he or she is with us. I feel fortunate to see our patients on a consistent basis, and the relationships we are able to develop over time mean a lot to me.
I am married to a wonderful husband and I am a proud mother of two young boys.We enjoy spending time together as a family exploring the outdoors.
Barb
Internal Practice Administrator
My association with dentistry goes all the way back to my childhood when I used to spend time in my father’s dental office. His love of the profession and dedication to the well-being of his patients inspired me to pursue a career as a dental hygienist. I had to give up clinical practice due to an injury, but that did notstop my dedication to the dental field. I have helped this office with accounting and team benefits for more than20 years now, which allowsour practice to offer the best employee compensation package in the entire metro area. Our team is made up of a wonderful, diverse group of individuals who are devoted to their jobs, team members, patients, and the promotion of dental health. They are a pleasure to be with, in and out of the office!
Kymba
Dental Hygienist
I have an affinity for all things dentistry! I worked for a general dentist as a dental assistant, followed by an endodontist for many years before I journeyed off to hygiene school. I graduated from Howard University College of Dentistry with honors. With a special interest in periodontal disease, I love learning about innovative therapies and procedures that may be less invasive yet more comfortable for my patients. When asked my number-one priority, it is providing the best care possible for everyone whosteps into the office, while keeping in mind that no two people are alike.
Born in Philadelphia, and a die-hard Eagles fan, I love football! In my free time, I enjoy spin classes, traveling to new places, experiencing various cultures, and trying new restaurants. I am a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and I believe in giving back to the community. I live in North Potomac with my Westie-Lhasa, Chevey.
Lynette

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene. I began practicing in Boston and have lived in Northern Virginia and Denver before finally settling down in Washington, DC. I enjoy working on a one-on-one basis with each patient and tailoring my care to meet his or her individual needs. Our doctors and our team are dedicated to each patient’s entire health and well-being. We try to individualize our treatment and education. We do not want to be just another dental office; we want to provide exceptional customer care and service.
I love spending time with my wonderful nieces and nephew. In my spare time, I enjoy gardening, playing duplicate bridge, hiking & biking in West Virginia, and attending Big Ten athletic events.

Maureen
Dental Hygienist
My start in dentistry began in the mid-1980s before I even got my high school diploma. Duringmy junior year, I worked in a dental office sterilizing instruments; it was not glamorous, but fora young adult, it was money in my pocket. Before I went to hygiene school, I was a dental assistant for 14 years. I earned my Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene at the University of Maryland. I joined Giannini|Grayin 2002.
My goal is to provide patients with the knowledge they need to understand the integral relationship between their oral health and the rest of their body. I treasure the mutual respect that all our doctors have for the hygiene staff’s diagnosis and treatment of varying levels of periodontal disease. Our dental team is on the same page regarding oral health as it relates to systemic health; we strive to make patients completely healthy.
I was born and raised in Montgomery County, just three blocks from the DC line. I am the second of six children, which makes family gatherings quite large but lots of fun! Now empty-nesters, my husband and I live in Friendship Heights, just a mile from where I grew up, and a quick walk from the office. I am an active member of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Bethesda. I enjoy spending time with my son, daughter, and son-in-law, as well as reading, walking, and dog sitting for my sisters.

As an expanded duty dental assistant, my position allows me to perform some expanded functions under the direct supervision of our doctors. My responsibilities include educating and providing patients with the tools necessary to improve their oral hygiene, being knowledgeable and efficient in a wide range of procedures, sterilizing and maintaining dental equipment and instruments in accordance with OSHA, and improving the oral health of every patient of the dental office. My favorite part of this job is the daily interaction with our patients, doctors, and my other team members.
