dtonya cater

I am a dental professional with over 26 years' experience in dental hygiene and office management, dedicated to delivering meticulous, patient-centered care and improving clinic operations. I combine clinical expertise—prophylaxis, SRP/root planning, radiography and oral cancer screening—with ongoing continuing education to stay current with best practices.

I have led front-office teams, managed scheduling, billing coordination, and trained staff to create efficient workflows that support providers and enhance patient satisfaction. I am proficient with patient record systems (McKesson), insurance verification, claims analysis, and utilization review to ensure smooth administrative operations.

My professional approach emphasizes behavior management, clear communication, and collaborative teamwork to design personalized treatment plans and foster trusting patient relationships. I seek roles where I can apply both clinical skills and administrative leadership to improve outcomes and patient experiences.
