A few weeks ago our office took time to grow as a team, and improve our skills to sensationally serve our patients! Our final challenge of the day was to create a marble maze out of PVC pipe. With our team divided up into five groups, each group created a maze that would connect with the others to get the marble from start to finish.

🎉🎉 Happy 9th Anniversary to our wonderful business team member, Christie! 🎉🎉

Nine years of keeping us on track and being our go-to insurance guru! 🦷💚 If Christie doesn’t know the answer, you can bet she’ll find it! She’s sweet, quick-witted, and always there when we need her. We’re so lucky to have her on our team! 🥳💐

Help us celebrate Christie and her amazing 9 years with Sensational Smiles! ❤️

For her donation made by the office, Christie chose the American Cancer Society.

🎉 Happy 2nd Anniversary to one of our amazing business team members, Shannon! 💙

She keeps us on our toes, but her generous, caring heart makes her one of a kind! We can always count on her to show up with a smile on her face and a funny story to share. We’re so lucky to have Shannon on our team and appreciate all that she does every single day for Sensational Smiles. 🦷✨

For her donation made by the office, she chose the Epilepsy Foundation. When asked why she chose this she stated:

"I have chosen this foundation as it is close to my heart. My mom has suffered with epilepsy since she was 17 years old. She had a major brain surgery when I was 3 years old so I haven't known her any different. The surgery had a major impact on her life but she has always cared for me and my sister the best she could. She is the most caring and selfless person I know. So I'd love to have my donation go to help others that may have had the same struggles."

🎉✨ Happy 15th Anniversary, Tara! ✨🎉

15 years with Sensational Smiles is definitely something worth celebrating! Tara has been such an incredible part of our Sensational Smiles family, spending many years on the clinical side as an amazing assistant and is now bringing her talents to our business team at our Sensational Smiles on Phillips location. 🪥🦷➡🖥☎️✍🏻

She is caring, witty, driven, dependable, and truly one of a kind. Her dedication and the way she cares for our patients and team have made such a lasting impact over the past 15 years.

Tara, we are so thankful for you and everything you have brought to Sensational Smiles over the years!

Tara chose for the office to donate to the Oaklyn foundation this year for her anniversary. 👼🏻💛 When asked why she chose this foundation she stated:

"I'm choosing to donate to the Oaklyn foundation because, as a recipient, I experienced the comfort and compassion their weighted bears provide to families grieving the loss of a child. I want to give back so other families experiencing this unimaginable loss can receive the same love, comfort and support that my husband and I received."
