Lacie Wirtz

I’m a dental assistant focused on enhancing patient care and office efficiency through strong organization, communication, and chairside clinical support. In my roles, I’ve welcomed patients, verified insurance, scheduled and confirmed appointments, and maintained accurate patient notes for treatment and procedures.

I assist with comprehensive exam workflows and imaging, including FMX, PAX, BWX, cone beams, panoramics, and intraoral images. I also perform chairside support for hygiene and restorative care—prophylaxis, perio charting, taking impressions, pouring impressions with stone, and helping doctors during fillings, crowns, final seats, implant placement, and extractions.

I’m especially hands-on with digital and restorative processes, including scanning using Ceres camera for crowns, flippers, and bridges, and sending crowns to the lab digitally. I coordinate lab pick-ups, use Dentrix, Modento, and Eaglesoft, and support procedures including IV and oral sedation, while also helping track inventory and ensuring cases are ready when the office needs them.
