Shelly Hi, my name is Shelly and I have worked for Dr. Meyer since July, 2002. I am a New York State Licensed Certified Dental Assistant. This title allows me to do more expanded functions. One of the most exciting expanded functions of a Licensed Certified Dental assistant is the ability to place, condense and finish amalgam restorations, as well as place and cure tooth colored restorations. My favorite part of this job is working with the young kids that come in. I enjoy making their visit as easy and as fun as possible so that they want to come back.
Dental Assistants are an invaluable help to Dr. Meyer in all your care. The dental assistant is the second-most important person in the room - behind you, the patient!
Levi Hi! My name is Levi. I started at Dr Meyer’s in October 2025. I really enjoy being a dental assistant because it allows me to connect with people while helping them achieve healthy, confident smiles. I assist with both general dentistry and oral surgery, and I enjoy the variety each day brings. My favorite part of the job is helping patients feel comfortable, answering questions, and making sure they feel “stress free” throughout their visit. Being part of a caring team that makes a positive difference in our patients' lives is incredibly rewarding, and I'm grateful to be a part of it. In my spare time I love taking care of my little homestead. I have a beautiful garden and many animals running around. My pup Percy is my little sidekick and loves being wherever I am.
The dental assistants greet and seat you, take necessary X-rays, and do computerized charting of your dental conditions. They assist Dr. Meyer in setting up your customized treatment plan. Behind the scenes, they disinfect and sterilize your treatment rooms, and the instruments which go in your mouth.
Vanessa Hi I'm Vanessa! I joined Dr. Meyer and his team in October of 2025. I started my career in the dental field in 2023. I’m passionate about helping patients feel comfortable and cared for during their visits. I enjoy working as part of the team, assisting with oral surgery, general procedures, and making sure everything runs smoothly. I’m always eager to learn new skills, grow professionally, and provide the best possible care to every patient. I am currently working on getting my RDA license. In my free time I like to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy traveling, kayaking, hiking, taking my dogs to the lake, and working out. I’m happy to be part of this great team, and look forward to helping our patients with their dental care!
They prepare dental materials, fillings and adhesives. They can obtain impressions of your teeth, repair a broken denture, and so much more. Our New York State Licensed Certified Dental Assistants can even place fillings for you.
Diane Hi, I'm Diane. I started working for the Meyer "family" in 2004. Since I came on board I enjoy interacting with all of our GREAT patients the best. I love helping people with their treatment plans. It's their first step towards good dental health. I also enjoy the challenges of working for a very busy dental office. I get to help Dr. Meyer with his procedures and since he has paid to further my skills as a Licensed Certified Dental Assistant, I've gotten to do more advanced procedures. I have learned so many new things and have been enjoying putting my advanced skills to work. I also get to work at the front desk, which is very challenging. There are so many phone calls, questions about treatment plans, checking patients out after their treatment is complete, managing the schedule, and then of course keeping up with all of the different insurance plans. There's a lot to keep up with to help the office run smoothly. We have an excellent team here and we all work together to help each other out.
The dental assistant is the second-most important person in your treatment room - behind you, the patient!
