Michelle
Dental Assistant
Michelle is originally from Minnesota, and she moved to Oakland, NE in 2018. She joined the Dregalla Family Dentistry team in 2019 and loves working with patients. Raising a child with special needs has helped her to become more understanding of others, and has taught her some creative problem-solving skills that she brings to the dental office.
She also takes a lot of pride in the work of restoring beautiful smiles. Michelle finds it very satisfying to see the "before" and "after."
When she's not taking care of patients, Michelle stays very busy. She's involved with a student exchange program that entails matching students from around the world with local families. Working with this program has allowed her to travel around the USA and to Spain, Sweden, Norway, and Germany.
She also loves spending her spare time doing genealogy, and she occasionally teaches community ed classes to help others with their own family histories.
She's very involved with her church, where her husband is the pastor. And she has four grown children (young adults).
I’ve been going to Dregalla for the past few years, and they’ve always done an excellent job in regards to taking care of my teeth, giving me dental information, etc. The staff is always so kind and friendly, and they always have a smile, too! I don’t enjoy having work done on my teeth, but Dregalla makes it worth it!
