Since then, she’s built a life full of adventure, laughter, two sweet daughters, and two slightly spoiled dogs. She’s been a dental hygienist in our office for 27 years—long enough to know details about every patient’s teeth and life. Chances are if you’ve had your teeth cleaned in Evergreen in the last 20 years, you’ve met Deanna! Her passion for patient care, quick wit, and love for building lasting relationships have made her a beloved part of the team (and possibly the unofficial office therapist). Evergreen is truly home now, and when she’s not cleaning teeth, you’ll probably find her on the slopes, hiking a local trail, or traveling to visit her daughters.
