Meet The Team

ADRIA

REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT

I love helping people: making sure everyone feels comfortable during visits and getting to know our patients. I work in the operatory, prepare and sterilize the treatment area, assist Dr. Gaultier with procedures, and offer patient care. It’s a pleasure to be part of a great team that helps people smile!

I’ve lived in the Grande Prairie area for most of my life. My husband and I have three children who keep us running! We look forward to summers camping and fishing, and enjoy hockey during the winter months.

HEATHER

REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT

I graduated from N.A.I.T. and have loved being a dental assistant ever since. I have been involved in
many areas of my profession; from numerous committees with the College of Alberta Dental Assistants to the President’s position for a term, and I help organize local dental assistants’ annual education seminars. No matter what, I keep coming back to chairside assisting as I enjoy visiting with patients, ensuring their appointment is enjoyable, and working next to Dr. Gaultier and my colleagues.

My husband and two children live on an acreage near Wembley, but I grew up north of Grande Prairie, in a small community. I enjoy being a part of a small community and feel it’s important to give back. I volunteer with the Saskatoon Lake Agricultural Society and the Saskatoon Mountain 4-H Multi Club. I am involved with the children’s school through the Parent Council Committee and love to cheer on my children at their sporting activities. I enjoy my flowerbeds when the deer are not munching on them, spending time with friends, camping, crafting and recently started quilting.

AMANDA

DENTAL RECEPTIONIST

You will find me at the front desk doing accounts receivable, as well as other daily administrative tasks. I love doing what I do, and working in the dental industry. Interacting with patients is something I thrive on. I feel fortunate to be able to work with such a fabulous team of professionals, and a great dentist!

I was born and raised in Nanaimo BC and moved to Grande Prairie in 2019 for the love of my life. I like to travel and experience different cultures. I am guilty of being a foodie and an animal lover. My dog’s name is Izzy and Italian is my favorite food. I enjoy shopping, hiking, and a good bonfire with smores.

CHERYL

DENTAL RECEPTIONIST

I love getting to know our patients and being part of their lives. I meet and greet patients, book appointments, handle recalls. I also receive payments, liaise with insurance companies, and do the day end and month end balancing and reporting. We have an incredible staff here, and Dr Gaultier is an amazing dentist who does everything possible to keep patients comfortable and smiling.

I’m a long term Grande Prairie resident: Happily married for over 30 years with 2 grown boys and a Yorkshire Terrier named Bandit. I enjoy camping, fishing, boating, bike riding, travel and personal fitness.

My youngest son lives in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and is pursuing his career in kinesiology & business recreation diploma. My oldest son lives in Red Deer and owns a digital media company called Aspire Marketing. I have been with Dr. Andre Gaultier for over 13 years already! I look forward to seeing you when you come to see us!

CHRISTINA

REGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST

I enjoy one-on-one patient interaction because our conversations create strong relationships. I examine patients for signs of dental disease, plan treatment, and then implement and evaluate the results. It’s wonderful to work with this team and Dr. Gaultier. We have a great dynamic: all of us united to provide quality care with a focus on each person’s specific needs.

I’m a busy mother of three young boys. I’ve been fortunate to balance my life with a mix of staying at home with my boys and working part-time as a dental hygienist. When I’m not at the office, I enjoy volunteering at my son’s school, working out, reading, boating, and camping.

DEANNA

REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT

I enjoy getting to know patients on a personal level. It’s awesome to see them and catch up on what’s happened since their last visit. I especially enjoy providing a scared child with a fun, positive experience and earning his or her smile! My main task is assisting Dr. Gaultier with patient care. I also take X-rays, sterilize instruments, set up operatories and clean up after procedures, and handle inventory and lab work. We’re like a small family here: the staff and our patients!

I grew up on a farm southeast of Edmonton and moved to Grande Prairie in 2010 with the man I married in 2013. We welcomed our first baby in May 2017. We love the outdoors, working on our acreage and taking our Husky, as well as our three cats, for walks. We also enjoy travelling, internationally and locally.

DENIKA

REGISTERED DENTAL HYGIENIST

My greatest satisfaction comes from helping people feel at ease in the dental chair and creating a positive feeling about dental care. My role is to provide regular dental hygiene and home-care instruction so patients reach optimal oral health and prevent dental disease. I love working alongside Dr. Gaultier and my teammates! We have an amazing environment; we respect each other and our clients.

My husband, two kids, our fur baby, and I moved to the area from Calgary several years ago. When I’m not at work, much of my “free” time is spent with family and the busyness of the kids’ activities. We’re also involved with our local church. I enjoy reading, learning, researching, and running.

LORI

DENTAL RECEPTIONIST

I like helping our patients feel at home during visits by answering questions about treatment and making sure they’re happy with the care they receive. I coordinate our hygiene schedule, book appointments, answer phones, enter treatment plans and payments, do the recall reports, and perform day-end procedures. I love working here. Dr. Gaultier is an amazing, honest dentist who’s kind and down to earth, and my teammates are helpful, professional, and understanding.

My husband Brian and I have a son, Nicholas. We keep busy with Nicholas’s jiu jitsu schedule, which is six days a week! I work at two dental clinics and sell jewellery on the side, too.

TRICIA

I am a proud graduate of the College of New Caledonia dental hygiene program, genuinely passionate about delivering comprehensive dental care. My approach combines technical expertise with a personable and empathetic touch, ensuring a positive experience in dental hygiene.

In 2017, My husband and I made the move from my hometown in Prince George, BC,to Grande Prairie. Outside the clinic, you’ll find me immersed in the pages of a captivating book, enjoying the tranquility of camping, and cherishing every beautiful moment with my two kids and dogs.
