Marian, Debbie and Miriam make sure you’re at ease and ready for your visit with Dr. Cameron Garrett. They are keenly interested in your welfare and are available to help make sure your questions are answered and you’re comfortable for your visit.

Some typical procedures Miriam, Debbie and Marian perform during your appointment include:

Behind the scenes, our dental assistants also perform technical and detailed laboratory duties, including making mouth impressions and cleaning and polishing removable appliances. They help keep the schedule running smoothly and also assist with organizational and administrative tasks.
