Front Office Team
Heather
Office Manager
I have worked in the dental field since 2000 and have been involved in many aspects of the field during that time. I started working for Dyras Dental in 2014 as the financial coordinator and then became the office manager in 2021. I enjoy seeing the many generations of families we have in our practice. I look forward to many more years at our office and hope to make your experience here as pleasant as possible.
I met my husband at a previous dental employer. My father-in-law liked to say, "See, going to the dentist can be a good thing!" We have two children and two wonderful grandchildren. We enjoy kayaking and spending time as a family.
Assistant Team
Nicole
Lead Dental Assistant
I have been in the dental field for more than 25 years, most of which I’ve spent right here! I have enjoyed working with Dr. Dyras, Dr. Bedro and our experienced team for many years. We work well with each other on a professional level, but the friendships I have made with everyone over the years have been one of the greatest things about my job. Of course, I also enjoy seeing our patients happy and confident with their new smiles.
I grew up in the Upper Peninsula and moved to the Lansing area after attending college in California. I have wonderful twin daughters who are attending LCC and a Shih Tzu named Lucy. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, camping, and spending time with my family.
Mandi
Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant since 2009 and I attended the New England Dental assistant school. I enjoy coming to work at Dyras Dental; the staff has been so welcoming and kind. Everyone is a team player and works so hard. One of my favorite parts of my job is meeting new people. Helping them understand treatment, helping them relax and leaving the office looking forward to returning for future appointments.
Outside of work I enjoy being with my family. I have two grown children. I enjoy walks, movies, tv, music, painting, drawing and playing Keno.
Hygiene Team
Chelsea
Dental Hygienist
I began my career as a dental assistant in 2010 and continued my education to become a dental hygienist. I joined Dyras Dental in 2017 and feel so fortunate to work with such an amazing, encouraging group of people. Patient care is my number-one priority; I love giving people a positive dental experience!
My husband and I live in Swartz Creek with our two cats. My hobbies include painting, reading, and gardening.
