Valerie

Business Administrator

Hi, my name is Valerie and I am the Business Administrator for the practice.
I enjoy all the changes and new advancements that dentistry has to offer and I love that Dr. Sutton continually attends courses so our patients can benefit from these advancements. 

I feel confident talking to patients about their care because I know that Dr. Sutton recommends treatment to his patients as he would his own family. I also enjoy my job because I get to share my time at work with such a talented team of professionals who are all committed to the same goal of ensuring that our patients have the best possible experience while receiving the best possible care. 

When not at work, I love spending time with my husband and our three daughters.

Abby

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hi, I'm Abby and I'm one of the Registered Dental Hygienists in our office. I started with Dr. Sutton in 2014 and have over 14 years of dental experience. I got my start in the dental field as a Certified Dental Assistant, after graduating from CFCC's dental assisting program. I always knew that dental hygiene would be my passion though. I went back to school and earned my Associate of Science degree in Dental Hygiene at Santa Fe College in 2009.

I believe that a healthy smile can earn you many things in life and I'm happy to help patients achieve or maintain that. I strive on being thorough with my patients oral health care as well as providing comfort to the anxious patient.

I was born and raised right here in Ocala. With my husband,  2 sons and daughter,  I enjoy traveling, cruising and frequent trips to Disney World!

Registered Dental Hygienist

Hi, my name is Carin, RDH, and I'm one of Dr. Sutton's experienced and caring dental hygienists. I received my AS in Dental Hygiene from Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida over a decade ago and continue to take courses every year in order to stay abreast of the current advances in dentistry.

I really enjoy the warm, friendly atmosphere in our office and sharing that atmosphere with our patients.  Dr. Sutton is a true professional and provides exceptional dentistry, so I feel confident when discussing treatment options with our patients.  Most rewarding is the quality time I can devote to getting to know our patients, informing them about the health of their teeth and gums, and helping them achieve optimum health. 

My husband, son, daughter and two cats make my family complete.
