Oscoda Team

Oscoda Dental and Oral Wellness

 

Our second practice, which we opened in 2019 is serving the dental needs of Oscoda, and the surrounding area. We have build a great team to ensure the best possible patient experience for all the dental services and products we provide.  A few of our administrative and support services for our Oscoda office are provided by our Cass City Practice.  You can see information about the Cass City team members on the Cass City team page.

Every team member is essential to the smooth operation of our practice.  Each one plays a key role in providing personalized, excellent care for each of our patients.   All of our efforts are focused on our patients, and being the best dental practice in the area. 


These are the people that make it happen in Oscoda:


Lori

Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH)

Lori joined our practice not long after we opened in 2019 as a part time hygienist. She is a well seasoned Dental Hygienist, having years of experience. Lori is very particular about the details of providing excellent patient care, and cares for each of her patients as if they were her own family member. She wants the very best dental and hygiene outcomes for all of her patients.

When not working, Lori enjoys spending time with her husband and family. She also enjoys baking, and has treated our team to many of her delicious baked goodies.


Mary

Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH)

Mary joined our practice in mid 2019 as a part time hygienist.  She is a well seasoned hygienist, having worked in hygiene for many years and for several dentists.  She brings with her a variety of great ideas of providing better patient care.  She enjoys her patients and generally has a lot of fun with them as she provides hygiene services for them.  She is always trying to give her patients the best possible care, education, and motivation to do better home care themselves.

 When not working at our office, she works at another dentist office closer to her home.  When not working as a hygienist, she enjoys spending time with her husband, her son, and her other family members.  She is very crafty and artistic, and likes to create original works of art of various forms.


Erin

Registered Dental Assistant (RDA)

Erin has been with our Oscoda office since 2020. She is delighted to be a part of our vibrant team and growing patient base.

Her dental education and career began in high school. Erin has been recognized and honored with several awards for Dental Assistance including being 1 of the top 10 students in the nation in 2000. With Erin being an RDA, she can perform various procedures providing Dr. Thomas with even more assistance.

While Erin loves general dentistry, her specialty is Orthodontics. Witnessing a patient complete their treatment and gain happiness through their newfound smile, is one of the best feelings in the world to her.

Erin is the mother of one energetic young son, a grumpy cat, and a super cute little dog. She has a special closeness to her parents and sisters. Growing up in a very small town, the familiarity the area provided, brought comfort to Erin with making Oscoda home.


Amanda

Amanda began her journey at our Oscoda office in August 2021. Fascinated by all things dentistry, she is eager to further her career and skills with hands-on learning and furthering her education.

She finds enjoyment in assisting with all of our patient's care, especially with the care of our children and elderly patients. They hold a special place within Amanda's heart that she holds very dear. With her friendly openness and compassion, Amanda helps create a special one-on-one dental experience for all of our patients.

Oscoda has been home to Amanda for 10 years and counting. She is happily married to her best friend and husband, Karl. Together, they have four children, and the joy of being a mom is priceless to her. In her spare time, she enjoys singing, hunting, fishing, and cooking.
