“Hello All!  I’m Seth, and I’m a dental hygienist.  It’s my job to work with each patient in order to shine the light on what goes on in the mouth, and facilitate individuals in every way possible to achieve a smile they can be proud of.  I find, the most important part is simply having a game plan.  We are all eager here at Smile Studios to assist or answer any questions a person may have.  Our hope is to take some, or all, of the anxiety out of dentistry.

Outside of work, I’m spending time with my wife and kids as much as I can. One of our goals as a family is to work hard so we can play hard.  My current passion is fixing/maintaining my own machines.”

The best day of my life was when I married my wife. 15 years into our marriage, and she takes my breath away more than ever.
My hero is anyone who exhibits kindness, and a great work ethic. It’s my conviction that these two virtues could solve many of the world’s issues today.
If I were a flavor of ice cream, I’d be the pistachio ice cream in the movie “Cars”.
Outside the office, my wife and I enjoy going on motorbike rides when the weather’s nice. We frequently find things to do outside with our two boys, rain or shine: Laser tag, going on hikes, throwing the football, etc. Our boys are growing up so fast, so we take every opportunity to spend quality time with them.

“Hi, guys! I graduated from the University of Washington-Seattle in 2021 and now I am a dental assistant at Smile Studios. I love meeting new patients and making new friends every day!

Outside of work I love to go hiking, work out, and play with my little puppy! My goal is to see the world and experience different cultures and I love to receive travel recommendations!”

My favorite color has to be light purple or cyan!
I love to spend my free time with family and friends. I enjoy staying active playing basketball, soccer, and volleyball or exploring PNW hiking trails! I love to travel and would like to see as much of the world as I can to experience different cultures!
I’ve had such a blessed life so I am not sure I can pinpoint just one day. I would say that my parents moving to America 21 years ago and giving me the opportunity to be educated and live in a free nation was the best thing to happen to me.
My heroes are all the women in my family. They are all such hard working and kind women. I aspire to be like each and every one of them.
I would say that I am colorful like a birthday cake ice cream flavor!

“Hey there! I’m Cassie, a dental hygienist at Smile Studios. Originally from Utah, I also have a mixed background, with one half being Ecuadorian. I had the opportunity to live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where I became fluent in Spanish. I graduated from Utah Tech University and I’m passionate about providing exceptional dental care and education to my patients. I strongly believe that when people have the knowledge and understanding of oral health, they can make informed decisions that positively impact their overall well-being.

Outside of work, you’ll find me hanging out with my adorable puppy, Ginger, and my husband, Juyong. We love spending our weekends going on walks and watching lots of Netflix.

I take great pride in being a part of this incredible dental practice. We all share a common goal of providing exceptional dental care in a friendly and welcoming environment. I can’t wait to meet you!”

Pink! But not a bright pink… like a pastel baby pink.
When the weather is nice, I like to go on walks with my dog and my husband. Food is always included in the itinerary!
My husband and I started out long distance, and I still remember the day we first met in person and I got to hug him for the first time! It was such a thrilling and happy moment.
I admire anyone who shows patience at a time when it might be difficult.
If I were to compare myself to a flavor of ice cream, I would say vanilla. Not because I’m ordinary or unexciting, but because I believe vanilla has a versatility that allows it to complement and blend well with a variety of flavors.

Hi! My name is Fallon, I am a dental assistant and have been in the dental field for almost 8 years! I love what I do and I enjoy being a key part in making people feel more comfortable in the dental office!

My favorite color is pink.
I love to get outside and explore beautiful areas of Seattle!
My hero is my mom, she is the most important person in my life.
Coffee, because coffee is a key ingredient in my life, also because I’m energetic and always on the go!

Alex

My name is Alex! I grew up in Portland, graduated from the University of Oregon (Sko Ducks), and recently relocated to Seattle, where I joined the team at Smile Studio. I truly enjoy the opportunity to meet new patients and establish connections with each and every individual who walks through our doors.

When I’m not at work, you can find me in nature paddle boarding or on a quest to discover the best food both inside and outside the city.

I like to spend time with friends and family. Cooking or exploring the great outdoors.
It’s difficult to pinpoint the single best day of my life, but one of the most memorable moments was when I became the first member of my family to graduate from college.
Both my parents. They gave a lot for me to be where I’m at in life.
