About Your Team
Alexza Merret, Dental Assistant
“I became a dental assistant because I enjoy seeing people smile and getting the chance to share knowledge about dentistry with them. I have a son named Sylas and I like going on walks with my dogs, Ozai and Smokey. I like playing video games and my favorite color is purple.”
Brittini Heminger, Registered Dental Hygienist / Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary
“My mission is to make everyone feel comfortable while receiving care and confident with their smile. I want my patients to know that I’m truly their partner in oral health and I’m always here to listen, discuss, and answer any questions. I have worked a very diverse career in dentistry since 2011, including clinical, administrative, and research. I love all things dental and animal-related! My partner, Jay, and I have three dogs of our own and we foster dogs for rescue groups. I love doing DIY projects and learning how to do new things.”

Outside of dentistry, I believe in keeping a balance between working, playing, and resting. I enjoy learning about every topic. I love golf, pickleball, traveling, yoga, running, cooking, gardening, and pretty much everything else.”
