Clinical Assistants

Hi, I’m Scotlyn and I relocated here from a small town in Georgia. I have three cats, that I adore, Nikko, Sydney & Wednesday. I joined this wonderful practice in 2016, and I just love this field of dentistry. I am so excited about being part of such a professional, caring, and friendly team. December of 2024 I became a new mom, to my son, Rio. He is the best baby in the world and I truly feel blessed by Jesus for this sweet child. I love the Lord and he is my Saviour.

Hi I’m Velvet and I am fairly new to the world of dentistry and particularly Orthodontics. I graduated from the Foleck Center Dental Assisting program in April of 2021.Outside of working with an amazing team of women and 3 awesome doctors, you can find me curled up reading a good book, spending a lot of time with my sassy, diva 4 year old daughter, and cooking up new recipes. I am also into makeup and have a successful hair business that I do in my spare time. So, life is very full right now. I love to laugh, so you will usually find me cracking jokes in the office so others can laugh along with me.

My name is Amanda, and I was born and raised here in Virginia Beach. I am married with a precious daughter and I am also a dog mom of two pups. I enjoy spending time with my family, and love making people smile and laugh.I am blessed to be a part of the SSV family. I have actually been in the dental industry for 11 years now, but this is my first time in orthodontics and I must admit that it has been a dream to become a part of this specialty field. It’s been a wonderful experience.

Hi my name is Takeyah, but most people call me TK. I am originally from Boston but grew up here in Virginia. I am married with a son and enjoy spending time with my family, making lifelong memories. I love the beach, and being active in my church. I love learning new things especially when it comes to science or dentistry.I am a graduate of Virginia State University and have been in the dental field since 2014, and orthodontics since 2016. I am happy to be a part of the SSV team. I love assisting the doctors in creating beautiful smiles and helping to make my patients feel comfortable.

My name is Gabi and I started with SSV in 2023. I formerly worked in retail but then had this amazing opportunity to change fields and begin a career in orthodontics. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have made so far, and love my bosses and all the team. I also love camping, gardening and must admit I truly adore my furry kittens, Ember and Freya. They do make my life more enjoyable. With that said, the most wonderful thing happened to me in December of 2024. I welcomed my son, Rafe, into the world and I truly am blessed to be his mama.

Hi! I’m Meg, I am new to the SSV team and orthodontics but not to dentistry! I did 5 years of general prior to coming to orthodontics & I’d have to say I definitely have found my niche. It is such a blessing to work for amazing doctors who treat you as if you’re family. I enjoy working with the team who have become friends that I hope to keep for a lifetime! My favorite part of my job is seeing people’s confidence after they get their new smiles!I am a navy brat born in Seattle Washington but consider Virginia Beach home. I’m a beach gal and couldn’t live without it. I am married with two dogs a German shepherd named, Apollo, and a labradoodle named, Wren. I am extremely outgoing and always on the move either hiking, going thrifting or playing with my fur babies but you could also find me binge reading a good book for hours.

Hi my name is Sarah and I started with SSV in May of 2024. I have been in Orthodontics since 2011. I love my job and am thankful for the opportunity to work with such a great team. It is so rewarding watching the transformation of my patients and seeing the improvement of their smiles.

I am originally from Rhode Island. I enjoy being outside, running, hiking, snowboarding, kayaking just to name a few. I enjoy walks with my boyfriend, and love to bake….a little secret I have started my sour dough journey.

Hi I am Ava. I am a Virginia Beach native and graduated from a dental assisting program during high school. I have always been interested in the dental field and when I saw the ad for SSV, I jumped at the opportunity to work for this family oriented team. I have been with them since August of 2024, and I feel at home here and confident in both relationships with patients and the skill sets I have mastered.

A little about me, I have 3 golden doodles, Hazel, Mila, & Junie who are my world. I am a girlie girl at heart and so that means, hair, makeup and fashion. Cooking is something I enjoy doing, but I also love taking long walks by any body of water. It is the most relaxing therapy for me and I recommend it highly. I am interested in furthering my education in health sciences. Maybe I will meet you one day in my chair!
