Meet the Team
Every person on our team is friendly and caring, from the sweet voice who answers the phone to the bubbly hygienist who cleans your teeth, to the compassionate dental assistant who holds your hand during treatment. We put the “care” in dental care!
Amber
Dental Hygienist
I've been practicing dental hygiene since 2010, and I joined Wakefield Dental Care in 2020. I love building a bond with my patients and educating them about their oral health, and how it can relate to systemic diseases.
My husband AJ and I got married in 2008, and we have three furbabies: Lukus and Kullen are English Mastiffs, and Zoey is a Blue Heeler. Kullen is a favorite in local dog shows, and he has the blue ribbons to show for it!
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, riding horses, house projects. I love spending time at Lake Gaston with my mom, and I love hiking and backpacking trips in the mountains with my husband. The mountains are my happy place!
Jada
Dental Hygienist
I have been a dental hygienist since 2001, and my passion is helping people improve their oral health. It makes my day, when I can make people smile!
During the 15 years I was at my previous office, I enjoyed establishing relationships with my patients. I look forward to doing more relationship-building here at Wakefield Dental Care!
My husband and I have two energetic children, and tons of critters! We have everything from cats and dogs, to horses and chickens--even a turkey named Larry! I like to spend as much time as possible at the beach, and my family enjoys visiting national parks--we're hoping to see them all!
CRYSTAL
Patient Care Coordinator
My favorite part of working at Wakefield Dental Care is knowing that I am genuinely helping our patients, by explaining treatment and scheduling their appointments. I love the team approach to patient care, and being a part of such a fun group of folks!
I have worked in the dental field for 24 years. Most of those years were spent chairside, working as a dental assistant, helping patients achieve their confident smiles. Now that I work at the front desk, I am able to provide a thorough explanation to patients who have questions about treatment.
Outside of work, I love live music and the beach! My boyfriend and I go watch local bands almost every weekend. I also have an adult son who lives in Winston-Salem, and a spoiled kitty who has been my little girl for 18 years.
As the newest member of the team, I look forward to getting to know all of the wonderful patients at Wakefield Dental Care!
Laurie
Insurance Coordinator
I enjoy meeting our new patients along with catching up with those who are established with our office. I think Wakefield Dental Care has the best team all around. We always have a good time at work, keeping each other and our patient family smiling and laughing!
I verify insurance benefits for our patients and follow up on their claims, ensuring they are able to maximize their benefits. I also greet patients and check them in and out.
My husband and I have been married for over 23 years and have two kids, both of whom are in college: one in the mountains, and one at the beach. I keep busy with social activities, my favorite being a wine tasting club with friends. I enjoy watching reality TV, mani/pedi’s, and hanging out with my family and friends.
Lisa
Office Manager
I enjoy interacting with our patient family, whether that’s on the phone, at the front desk, or even in the clinical area. Sometimes I’ll just pop into a treatment room to say “Hi” and catch up with someone I haven’t seen for a while!
I work with a great group of people: Dr. Magno is not only my husband, but a really wonderful, caring person – toward his patients and his team! Everyone on our team genuinely likes each other, so our office has a family vibe to it and I’m so grateful for each family member here – our team and our patients!
I handle a little bit of everything at Wakefield Dental Care: administration, front desk, and even some clinical duties as needed. I was a dental assistant for many years, and that clinical experience allows me to help wherever I am needed in the office.
Dr. Magno and I got married in 2009. We have two beautiful children, Bryson and Sydney, who keep me constantly on-the-go! We also have three furbabies who are all rescues. In my free time, I enjoy reading, shopping, pedicures, and singing in my church choir.
Nikki
Dental Assistant II
It is always a pleasure to help patients, making sure they are comfortable, informed, and at ease during procedures. I like being able to relieve worry or pain and have people leave the office with bright and confident smiles! Team work makes the dream work and this office gives it 100%! We all support each other like family and are dedicated to our patient family!
I handle a range of clinical duties, including assisting Dr. Magno with fillings, crowns, bridges, implant restoration, and impressions. I also provide preventive care, including X-rays, coronal polishing, sealants, and I assist Dr. Magno with Invisalign® treatment. Additionally, I take care of sterilization, inventory, and I make sure we are up to date with our OSHA requirements.
I have been blessed by God himself with an incredible man in my life, along with our beautiful children. They keep me on my toes and provide an abundance of love, support, and the occasional headache. We enjoy exploring and fishing in the woods, caring for our furbabies, plus whatever strays need to be fed, too.
