Dental Hygiene
Hannah – Dental Hygienist
Hannah Munson is a dental hygienist who brings a genuine passion for patient care to every appointment. Hannah earned her Associate Degree in Dental Hygiene from Northcentral Technical College in 2025, and from the very beginning of her career, her focus has been on making a real difference in her patients’ oral health.
Hannah believes her role is about far more than just cleaning teeth. She takes pride in building meaningful connections with her patients and watching them grow and improve in their own oral hygiene routines over time. For Hannah, those relationships are what make her work truly rewarding.
She understands that visiting a new dental office can feel overwhelming or even a little scary, and she goes out of her way to help patients feel at ease from the moment they walk in. Her patience and compassion come naturally — she grew up in a big family with six siblings, an experience that shaped her into the caring and understanding person she is today.
Outside of the office, Hannah loves spending time outdoors. You’ll likely find her hiking, fishing, or camping whenever she gets the chance. She’s also passionate about staying active, always eager to try a new workout, and she enjoys watching sports — hockey, basketball, football, you name it!
If you’re looking for a hygienist who will make you feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, Hannah would love to meet you.

Keelin – Dental Assistant
Meet Keelin McGrath, a Dental Assistant with approximately five years of experience in the field. Keelin completed her dental assisting training at Western Technical College, graduating in 2021, and began her career in pediatric dentistry — a passion that continues to shine through in her work today.
Keelin is drawn to dentistry because of the opportunity it gives her to make a real difference in how patients feel about their care. She approaches every visit with compassion, patience, and professionalism, taking time to listen to concerns, explain procedures clearly, and ensure each patient feels supported from start to finish. Her goal is simple: to leave every patient with a smile.
One of Keelin’s greatest joys is working with children. She has a natural gift for helping young patients — especially those who feel nervous — feel safe and at ease in the dental chair. Building those connections and creating positive early experiences with dentistry is something she finds truly rewarding.
When new patients walk through the door, Keelin makes it a priority to greet them warmly and help ease any anxiety right from the start. She loves building relationships and being a consistent, caring presence throughout each patient’s visit.
A proud local, Keelin grew up in the area and attended Onalaska High School.
