Hi! I’m Alana, one of the Dental Hygienists here at Confidentistry. I’ve been in this profession for nearly 20 years, and I truly love what I do. I understand that visiting the dentist can feel stressful, so I make it my mission to help patients feel relaxed, comfortable, and heard. I’ve been told I have a great memory for details, an endless supply of stories and questions, and a knack for putting people at ease—qualities that help me build strong, lasting connections with my patients.
Confidentistry is a special place to work. Dr. Khalid creates an inspiring, supportive environment that allows us to grow both personally and professionally. I look forward to being your hygienist for many years to come.
Outside the office, I stay busy and fulfilled. I’m a proud mom to my daughter Georgie, and I cherish time with close friends and family. I started a monthly Supper Club with friends, and we recently built a tiny home in our backyard for my mom so she could live nearby. I’m always on the move and always reading!
With over 25 years of clinical experience as a dental hygienist, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care. In addition to my work at Confidentistry, I also teach part-time at a local dental hygiene program, where I have the privilege of mentoring the next generation of oral health professionals.
I take great pride in being part of the Confidentistry team, where I’m continually inspired by Dr. Khalid’s leadership, commitment to excellence, and personalized approach to dentistry. Working alongside her has deepened my passion for the field and reaffirmed my belief in the importance of building lasting relationships with patients through trust, education, and individualized care.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my two children and find balance by hiking and connecting with nature.
With a background in dental hygiene and years of patient care experience, I now serve as the Treatment Coordinator and Front Office Administrator at Confidentistry. While I no longer treat patients clinically, my hygiene background gives me a unique perspective when helping patients navigate complex dental treatment plans. I love being the bridge between our clinical team and our patients—explaining procedures, answering questions, and helping anxious patients feel at ease.One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping people restore their confidence—not just in their smiles, but in dentistry as a whole.
I’m proud to work under the leadership of Dr. Laila Khalid, whose vision of integrity, professionalism, and compassion fosters a culture of teamwork, continuous learning, and work-life balance. Her dedication to patient-centered care and advanced technology ensures everyone at Confidentistry feels supported and valued. It’s more than just a workplace—it’s a place to grow, connect, and make a meaningful impact.
Outside the office, I enjoy gardening, yoga, reading nonfiction, and being a mom. Whether tending to plants or supporting patients, I’m happiest when I’m helping others grow and thrive.
Hi! I’m April, and I’m proud to be Dr. Khalid’s assistant here at Confidentistry. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is being part of the life-changing smile transformations we create. It’s truly inspiring to witness patients walk in feeling nervous or unsure, and leave with newfound confidence—ready to share their smiles with the world.
Being part of the Confidentistry team means being part of something meaningful—and I’m grateful to help make every patient’s experience a positive one.
Outside the office, I love spending time outdoors, especially hiking with my dog, Luna. I’m also a devoted mom to my two wonderful kids, Dylan and Julia, and we’re always finding ways to make the most of our time together.
