Meet Our Dental Team – Soldotna, AK

Caitlin, Dental Assistant

Caitlin started out in the dental field over a decade ago, undergoing on-the-job training with the first dentist she worked for and eventually growing to train several assistants. After a period of working in public health, she participated in a state-funded apprenticeship program to become a certified dental assistant and chose to move back into private practice, ending up here at Soldotna Dental Arts. She has training and experience with dental implants, Invisalign, and removable prosthodontics. What she enjoys most about this role is being able to help the community in such a meaningful way!

Away from the office, Caitlin spends plenty of quality time with her daughter and son. As for hobbies, she enjoys traveling, attending music concerts, paddle boarding, hiking, and practicing photography.
