Meet Our Dental Hygienists
Connie G. - RDH
Hello I’m Connie, I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for 24 years, 11 of them right here at Magnolia Modern Dentistry. I enjoy being able to get up each day knowing I will be meeting new people and catching up with patients and friends that I’ve already had the pleasure of getting to know. It has always been a priority to me to be part of a team that places priorities on the patients comfort, establishing patients trust, and quality dental care for our patients, which I definitely found here at Magnolia Modern Dentistry. We are continually educating ourselves and striving to care for our patients utilizing the latest proven technology available. When you come in for your new patient visit in our office. When I’m not here you’ll find me enjoying the great outdoors with my family and friends, working in my yard or around the neighborhood walking with my dog “Tux.” I look forward to meeting you, and helping you put a sparkle in your smile!

My favorite part about being a dental hygienist is building relationships with patients in a calm and comforting environment. I really enjoy coming to work every day. We truly have the best team here! When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake. We recently moved back to the country and I’m really enjoying our space and animals. Right now we have 3 dogs, 1 cat, 7 chickens and plenty of room for more!

I have had the pleasure and blessing to be a part of the dental field since 2013. I started my career in dentistry as a Dental Assistant and started working towards becoming a Hygienist right away. My passion has always been to work at the cutting edge of my specialty. I strive to always advance my knowledge and skills to be able to offer my patients the highest standard of care possible. It is deeply important to me to be a part of a team that shares in that same passion. Outside of the office, I love to go on adventures with my family. My husband and I have two beautiful kiddos that keep us very busy keeping them entertained. I love to travel and experience new things, see live shows of any variety, and route for my favorite sports teams. Taking my family to watch our SF Giants play with a hotdog and Ghirardelli sundae in hand is my idea of a perfect Saturday.

I am so thankful to be part of the Magnolia family. It is so rewarding to be able to work with a team you respect and admire. My dental journey started after leaving active duty in the United States Air Force. I was a Dental Assistant in Oral Surgery until I decided to go back to school to be a Dental Hygienist. I graduated from Apollo College in Boise, ID in 2009 with a degree in Dental Hygiene. Eventually, life’s journey took me back home to California. My days are spent with my work family, helping patients achieve healthy smiles, in a comfortable and caring environment. My free time is spent with my husband of 18 years and our two boys. I enjoy watching them grow. Between camping, fishing, and sports…my heart is full.
