Stephanie

Dental Assistant

Stephanie grew up in the small town of Pride, LA. She thought she would be a Physical Therapist, but being born without maxillary laterals, she was no stranger to her local dentist and orthodontist office. After four years in braces, two oral surgeries and many dental visits, she had a beautiful smile and fell in love with dentistry. She enjoys getting that same feeling each time she is a part of a patient’s smile makeover, and feels privileged to assist in such a process. Stephanie received her Dental Assisting training at Delta College of Arts and Technology in Baton Rouge, LA in 2008 and Certification from the Dental Assisting National Board in 2012. In September of 2012 her family moved to Waynesville to enjoy the outdoors. On October 21, 2012 she joined Dr. Efird and his team. She could not be more pleased with her decision to become a part of her new dental family.
