Not only are they excellent clinicians, our dental assistants are also among the best when it comes to ensuring your peace of mind and comfort during treatment. If our patients are right - and we think they are - you won't find a friendlier, more talented group of dental assistants at any nearby practice.
Michelle: Lead Dental Assistant
I started my career in Monokian Dentistry in 2017 when I was still in school. I had the opportunity to do my internship in this amazing office. I decided to stay with the practice because every single member takes the time to educate and provide excellent dentistry to every single patient. I’m excited to be a part of such a caring and professional team that is more like a family to me.
When I’m not at work I enjoy going to the shore and spending time with family and friends.
Celeste: Lead Dental Assistant
I’m originally from New York, but years ago my family and I moved to Jackson, NJ. I eventually settled in South Jersey after meeting my boyfriend. Long before being a dental assistant crossed my mind, I worked as a cosmetologist. I loved connecting with people and helping them feel their best. It was that passion for caring for others that inspired me to pursue a career in the healthcare field.
From the moment I joined Monokian Dentistry, it felt like family. The support, teamwork, and commitment to growth have allowed me to develop both personally and professionally. Now, as Lead Dental Assistant, I take pride not only in helping our patients feel comfortable and confident in their smiles, but also in guiding and supporting our assistants as they grow in their own careers.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my dog, Scarlett, my boyfriend, and my family, whether we’re relaxing at home or trying new restaurants!
Adrienne: Dental Assistant
I have been a Dental Assistant for over sixteen years and have been fortunate to have worked with great people in the profession. I feel so lucky to work with the Monokians and have been here since 2015. Everyone here is very professional. They treat their patients the way they would like to be treated. I love the teamwork here and everyone makes you feel like family. I can see why this practice has been so successful, everyone cares and works hard. Working here is a great fit for me.
Patricia: Dental Assistant
I started as a dental assistant here in 1992 shortly after entering the dental field. I love getting to know each individual patient and making sure their dental experience is as comfortable as possible. Everyone on our team is great, too. I love working with our doctors because all three are extremely conscientious and caring, along with being perfectionists. When I’m not working I enjoy going to my shore house in Wildwood and spending time on my 14 acre farm.
Haily: Dental Assistant
I started my career in this office in 2003 and love everything about working here! From our wonderful patients to every member of our team, each person brings something special to my day. Our doctors take pride in their work and it shows. I am so proud to be a part of their team. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my high school sweetheart and the love of my life. We are newlyweds and enjoy every minute of it! We are also proud pet parents to our adorable dog, Benji.
Kyle: Dental Assistant
I graduated from Rutgers University-Camden in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Biology. I began working for Monokian Dentistry in July of 2021. I have really enjoyed learning about the dental field, and getting to know so many great team members and patients. A passion for dentistry is certainly felt the moment you set foot inside the office, and it inspires me to continue to grow as a assistant.
When I am not assisting in the office, I enjoy watching/playing sports, trying new places to eat, and spending time with family and friends.
Emily: Dental Assistant
I started as a sterilization technician at Monokian in 2020. Since then, they have trained me and sent me to school to get my Dental Radiologic Technology license. I’ve learned a lot since joining the practice; I’m grateful to be a chairside assistant now, and I look forward to continuing my education and earning more certifications.
I take pride in going out of my way to make patients feel as comfortable as possible in the dental chair. I used to have anxiety about going to the dentist and wish I had an office like Monokian Dentistry growing up. I also love Monokian Dentistry for the people. This is my second family - I have found my forever friends here!
I grew up in Waterford Works and attended Hammonton High School. In my free time I love hanging out at home on my farm with family and friends… especially my three nephews.
Jahsani: Dental Assistant
I started my career at Monokian Dentistry in 2022 after graduating from Burlington County Institute of Technology. I was lucky enough to intern here during school, and I knew immediately that this office was for me. It is very satisfying working for a practice that cares about quality dental care and making patients feel confident about their smile and overall oral health. All of these reasons fuel my passion for Dentistry.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy cooking and baking delicious foods, crocheting, and roller skating. I also like traveling the world, and spending time with my friends, my family, and my dog.

Lindsay: Dental Assistant

I am originally from Chatsworth NJ. I graduated from Seneca High school in Tabernacle, then attended BCIT Westampton for Dental Assisting. As a part of my education, I worked in the offices of an oral surgeon and an endodontist.
I did my clinical rotation at Monokian Dentistry. Having worked in other offices, I knew right away that Monokian was different. We provide quality dentistry that is performed by compassionate and caring professionals.
My goal here at work is to be better every single day, and to make sure my patients feel comfortable and safe in the dental chair. When I’m not working, I enjoy writing, cooking, and finding fun places to travel.
Anna: Dental Assistant

When I was growing up, I actually enjoyed going to the dentist. He used to say I would fit in perfectly at a dental office. It seemed like an oddly random observation, but here I am!
Inspired by my own positive dental visits, I recently graduated from BCIT’s Dental Assisting program. I find a lot of joy in helping patients feel calm and supported while in the dental chair, and I value having a job in which I learn something new every day.
I love working for an office that takes the time to thoroughly educate patients… a practice that truly cares about the patient experience. It's a great feeling to be part of a team that goes the extra mile.
Outside the office, you may find me baking sweet treats, spending time with my cats, or wandering farmers markets in search of irresistible finds!
Gabby: Dental Assistant
I started my journey with Monokian Dentistry right after I graduated high school in 2022. I was hired as a Sterile Technician and have since been trained to become a Dental Assistant. Through Monokian's support I was able to go to school to get my X-ray license.
With the help of the doctors and the assistant team I have learned so much; there is so much effort the Monokian team puts into helping every patient have the best experience. Everyone at the office has been amazing to work with and I truly am lucky I started at a practice with such dedication to good work.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and getting outside as much as I can!
Nadeem: Dental Assistant
I joined Monokian Dentistry as a junior in high school, and the practice has supported me through my transition into college and my pursuit of becoming a dentist. Working here has given me invaluable clinical experience and has shaped the way I approach patient care. The team’s dedication to excellence and education has played a major role in my development, and being surrounded by such knowledgeable professionals continues to push me toward my goals.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, driving, and finding new ways to learn and grow. I’m grateful to be part of a practice that feels like family and has helped guide me both personally and professionally as I work toward a future in dentistry.
Brianna: Dental Assistant
I began my career in the spring of 2024 with Monokian Dentistry. I started out training in sterilization, and now I am a full time chair side assistant! I’m grateful to be part of a team that not only welcomed me, but also supported my education by helping me earn my radiology license.
Working in dentistry has become a true passion of mine, and I love providing patients with a comfortable, positive experience. Monokian Dentistry feels like my second family, and my goal is to continue growing within the company as I build my skills.
