Brittiny
Registered Dental Hygienist
Brittiny’s career in the dental field spans over 12 years so far. After attending the University of North Texas, she entered the dental hygiene school at Texas Women’s University. Today, she is an RDH who is certified in soft tissue laser therapy. What she enjoys most about working at Legacy Dentistry is building relationships with her patients and treating them just like family. It’s always so rewarding to partner with people in need and help them achieve their goals while also making oral healthcare a genuinely comfortable and positive experience!
Originally from Kingman, AZ, Brittiny is happily married to David, and they have two children named Jesse and Josie. Her biggest passions outside of dentistry are exercise and nutrition. She works out daily, competes in lots of different types of races, and is always trying new foods and recipes. She also used to be a collegiate softball player and still loves the sport today. You can always find her enthusiastically rooting for the Texas Rangers whenever they’re playing.
Hillaree
Dental Assistant
Originally from Frost, TX, Hillaree completed her dental training at the Professional Development Institute at the University of North Texas. She’s thrilled to be a part of the team here at Legacy Dentistry and loves working alongside Dr. Nguyen, Dr. DeSimone, and her fellow staff members. For her, nothing makes her happier than helping patients feel comfortable while she gets to know them.
Whenever she’s not at the office, Hillaree spends most of her free time with her family, which consists of her parents, her sister, and her fiancé, Colton. Having played sports while growing up and softball at North Central Texas College, she also likes to hit the field or court whenever she can.
Lori
Dental Hygienist
Lori may be one of the newer members of our team, but she has almost 15 years of experience in the world of dentistry! She earned her associate degree from Richland College before earning her bachelor’s degree in dental hygiene from the Baylor College of Dentistry. If that wasn’t impressive enough, she is certified in nitrous oxide as well. For her, the best thing about her job is caring for her patients and helping them create better health for themselves.
Lori and her husband, Corley, have three wonderful children together and three fur babies. Away from the office, you’ll most likely find her cheering her kids on during their games and tournaments, traveling, fishing, playing family games, and watching Dirt Track races. Here’s something you may not know about her: she is a cancer survivor, and her humbling journey has given her a whole new view on the importance of life, love, trust, and faith!
Macie
Registered Dental Assistant
Originally from Ennis, TX, Macie loves getting to work with an incredibly talented and passionate team while having the chance to meet new people every day and help them treat their pearly whites. She studied at Dallas College before attending the Training Academy 4U to earn her certification in dental assisting. She then worked in geriatric dentistry for close to a decade before working with her new dental family at Legacy Dentistry.
Away from the dental office, Macie is married to her best friend and lives together with him and their three beautiful children. They spend much of their time at the baseball and soccer fields due to their sons playing sports. They are also big fans of the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, and Texas Rangers!
Mikaela
Dental Assistant
Originally from Rock Hill, South Carolina, Mikaela is one of our newest members of the team. She attended the University of Texas at Arlington before studying at OceanPointe Academy to receive her certification in dental assisting. She is also undergoing on-the-job training with our team, and she loves having the opportunity to build connections with patients while she’s at it.
Mikaela is currently engaged and planning to marry in January 2025! Other than spending time with her fiancé, family, and friends, she enjoys reading, hiking, and traveling. Her favorite trip so far has been going to Italy. One fun fact about her: through genealogy, she was able to trace back part of her family history to a royal line in Prussia!
Courtney
Patient Coordinator
Originally from Cleburne, Courtney attended Texas Women’s University and is proud to be a part of the Legacy Dentistry family. Her favorite aspect of her job is being able to make a real difference in patients’ lives, whether it’s helping someone regain confidence in their smile or easing their anxiety. She loves that she can care for patients as well as make genuine connections with them, and she enjoys working alongside so many skilled and passionate professionals.
Outside of the office, you can find Courtney spending time with her daughter and son. They’re her greatest inspiration and the source of her biggest smiles. Whenever she isn’t at the office, you can find her supporting both of her children’s interests, tumbling and motocross. One interesting fact about Courtney is that she transitioned into dentistry from a childcare background, where she ran her own daycare!
Stephanie
Patient Care & Hygiene Coordinator
A native of Midlothian, Stephanie loves making people smile, and she has well over two decades of experience in dentistry under her belt. She began in administration for the first six years of her career and then transitioned into becoming a registered dental assistant where she loved caring for her patients' chair side and serving as lead assistant. After 15 years of providing clinical needs, she returned to her administrative role and now helps patients with their insurance and treatment planning needs. Her favorite thing is that she can be our patient’s first line of communication while easing their uncertainties so that their visits can be as smooth as possible.
Away from the office, Stephanie is a mother of two grown children, and she loves spending time with them and her grandson. She also enjoys going on walks with her rescue dog, drinking coffee while watching the sunrise, and kicking back while watching a great movie. She likes thrifting, antique shopping, and listening to music—country, jazz, and Christian music are her favorite genres!
