Meet Our Team


 

Rebeca- Dental Assistant

Hi, my name is Rebeca. I started my dental career as a dental assistant here at Dentistry by Design. Throughout the years of working alongside Dr. Tapia, I saw the amazing things our dentists were doing and that inspired me to continue to expand my skills. I have now been working at Dentistry by Design for the past 13 years and I currently work as the office coordinator. My passion, commitment, and the relationships I have created with my patients continues to fulfill my experience working here at Dentistry by Design, and ensures that every patient I assist leaves with a happy and healthy smile, and a great experience.

Early on in her career she worked with a Maxio Facial Prosthodontist as a registered dental assistant. She specialized in working with cancer patients with complex dental needs. 

Stacey moved from San Luis Obispo to further her career in dentistry. She graduated from Hygiene school in 2008. Stacey loves being a dental hygienist, especially motivating patients to achieve a healthy smile. Stacey balances her satisfying career with a husband and two-year-old son at home.
