The People Behind Your Smile

Dara began her dental career over 20 years ago, starting as a Registered Dental Assistant before transitioning into office management. Her combined clinical and administrative experience allows her to put that expertise to work for her patients. She is a dedicated patient advocate, committed to making sure patients are well informed — helping them navigate the insurance process and assisting with financial arrangements so every patient receives the care they need.

Dara attended Freed-Hardeman University and Concorde Career College in West Tennessee. Born and raised in Georgia, she is a resident of the Flintstone community and a member of the Rossville Church of Christ.

Outside of her career, she finds great joy in spending time with her loving family — including her 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and her Shih-Tzu, Ollie. Dara loves the great outdoors, and in her free time she enjoys kayaking, gardening, and traveling.

With 15 years of dedicated experience in dental care, Debbie brings an unmatched level of expertise and comfort to our clinical team. Born and raised in Chattanooga, she attended Chattanooga State Community College, where she received her certificate as a Registered Dental Assistant. She is certified in dental radiology, coronal polishing, sealants, and nitrous oxide monitoring — ensuring every procedure is safe, smooth, and stress-free — and maintains 24 hours of continuing education every 2 years.

Her unique background also includes experience as a medical assistant, giving her a deep understanding of overall patient health and wellness. Debbie's favorite part of her career is building lasting relationships with patients and helping them feel completely at ease in the dental chair.

Outside of the office, she loves spending quality time with her family, traveling to new places, and baking delicious treats.
