Our Team

After graduating with my CDA from Palm Beach State in 2003, I’ve spent the last 20 years working, learning, and understanding different facets of the Dental industry.

From Dental Assisting to Customer Service to Marketing, Brand Management and Financial Coordinator I’ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge as well as continuing to learn and educate myself with my current team here at Designing Smiles. I look forward to working with our team on a daily basis and what we can build here.

Amber was very excited to enter the dental field in 2018. She has been assisting at Designing Smiles since 2019. She finds the most joy when connecting with patients and helping them feel the utmost comfort with their dental experiences. Her hobbies include riding her bike to the beach and finding her zen attending yoga classes.

She has two loving animals, Shaco her black lab and Reese her calico cat. All the way from Maine, she was relieved to find her home away from home right here in the office of Dr. Apel.

Hi my name is Jessie. I’m the proud mother of a 5 year old daughter, Grace. I graduated from dental hygiene school in Orlando, FL in 2005 and have been practicing dental hygiene since.

I have been in the dental field longer though as I used to be an assistant and I actually started as a sterilization technician when I was a teenager.

Victoria serves an essential role at Designing Smiles Dentistry as our phlebotomist and an integral part of our front office admin, helping patients experience the benefits of L-PRF. 

L-PRF (Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s plasma to speed up healing. Think of it as a natural band-aid made from your own blood! It helps with tissue regeneration, reduces infection risk, and minimizes bleeding, pain, and inflammation.

This amazing therapy is perfect for dental implants, extractions, bone grafting, and more. Victoria is excited to meet you and assist in providing this innovative treatment!
