Makayla – Office Manager

As the office manager of our dental practice, I bring over 10 years of experience in the dental field and a genuine passion for serving our community. I believe that every patient deserves to feel welcomed, valued, and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors. Helping create a positive experience for both our patients and our team is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mom to four amazing kids. My family keeps life exciting, especially with our four horses and three dogs! When I’m not at the office, you’ll usually find me camping, fishing, hunting, or enjoying just about anything outdoors. Spending time with my family in nature is where I recharge and make some of my favorite memories.

I’m grateful to be part of a profession that allows me to build lasting relationships while making a positive impact on the health and well-being of the people in our community.

Brenda – Front Office Coordinator

As the front office coordinator I’m proud to help create a smooth, welcoming experience for every patient and our entire team. I enjoy keeping our office organized, ensuring everything runs efficiently, and making sure each patient feels supported from the moment they walk through our doors. I thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in building meaningful relationships, answering questions, and helping make every visit as comfortable, positive, and stress-free as possible. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is getting to know the people we serve and being part of their journey toward better oral health.

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, I’m honored to serve the community I’ve called home my entire life. As a bilingual team member, I enjoy helping both English- and Spanish-speaking patients feel heard, understood, welcome, and confident throughout their visit.

Outside of the office, my most important role is being a mom. I love spending quality time with my two children, traveling and exploring new places, and appreciating life’s simple moments together. Whether we’re watching movies, attending community events, supporting local businesses, or getting creative with DIY projects and crafts, I’m happiest when we’re making lasting memories.

I look forward to welcoming you to our office and helping make every visit a comfortable, positive, and enjoyable experience. It’s a privilege to be part of a team dedicated to caring for our community, and I can’t wait to meet you!

Leslie – Dental Assistant

Hi, my name is Leslie! I’m originally from California and have been a dental assistant for over 11 years. Recently, I made the move to Utah and have fallen in love with the beautiful scenery — especially during the winter season. Working with Dr. Wright has been such a rewarding experience because he truly values a family-oriented approach with both his staff and patients.

I’m passionate about helping patients feel comfortable and confident during their visits, and I always strive to make sure they leave with a healthy, happy smile. My background includes an associate’s degree in health sciences, and I’m excited to continue growing in the dental field with the goal of becoming a dental hygienist — or even a dentist one day.
