Debbie, Dental Hygienist

Debbie is a hygienist that joined our team in July 2020. She is a retired Navy dental hygienist with over 27 years in the dental profession. Her love for the dental profession comes from her genuine care for her patients and wanting to improve their oral hygiene through treatment and education.

Debbie and Dave in their spare time enjoy riding their motorcycle and camping in their RV with their three dogs: Cas (Great Dane), Coda (Brenese Mountain Dog), and Moose (Miniature Schnauzer).

Jaime, Dental Hygienist

For many years, she was intrigued by the dental world. Jamie left her first career path as a hair stylist to train as a dental hygienist. Since graduating from Wayne Community College in 2016, patient care has been truly rewarding and is where her heart is. Outdoor runs with her best friend and vegging out with her sweet family happily satisfies her free time.

Caressa is a native of Pitt County. She traveled with the military for 10 years and returned home to Greenville. Her passion is dentistry and making people smile. She is a firm believer that a great dentist with a great team can make all the difference. Caressa was a patient of Dr. Capps as a child. Thanks to him, his assistant, Pam, one of our other fabulous hygienists, Libby (who is still with the practice today), she still loves dentistry! Other than her love for dental hygiene, she loves spending time with her two beautiful girls and her husband. They enjoy the outdoors, camping, the beach, and riding four wheelers.
