Our Doctor

 Dental Assistant  

As a Marine Corps veteran and an Aurora, IL native.I personally enjoy being outside with nature, meditating, and reading about all of the cultures around the world. I served this nation for 5 years as an attack and utility helicopter mechanic in the USMC; there I gained a vast amount of knowledge ranging from mechanics, HAZMAT, leadership rolls, and aerodynamics. 

In 2022, I became a teacher assistant/paraprofessional specializing in children on the spectrum and with behavioral issues. Becoming the voice that the students needed was my favorite part. Now I’m very honored to have my role here as a dental assistant. 

I love being behind the scenes, making sure everything is set up and ready to go for the doctor, but my favorite is watching the patients leave with a smile on their faces. 

Clinical Dental Assistant

As a Clinical Assistant, I am responsible for patient comfort and care.  I assist Doctor Kanani with dental procedures to provide comfortable, exceptional; dentistry. I setup and prepare for all dental procedures, including restorative fillings, dental implants, oral surgery, and so much more.  We perform all levels of dental services in our practice.  I am also certified in coronal polishing, and fluent in English and Spanish.   

I enjoy spending time with family!  Helping the community and people in need is something we participate in every year.  We do clothing, food and toy drives.  After gathering these items we personally deliver them to people in Mexico.  I enjoy do-it-yourself projects and baking.  I’m a hardcore baseball fanatic and I enjoy traveling.  

I graduated from Kishwaukee Community College with a teaching degree.  I became a dental assistant in 2011 and I  joined the Aurora Bright Dental family in 2018.  I love working with Doctor Kanani and the rest of our team.  In my experience, I feel our dental family prioritizes patients more so than some dental practices.  We really strive to exceed our patients expectations and meet their needs.  I believe what makes our practice exceptional, is the environment.  We’re a team that works as a family!

The part I mostly enjoy about my career is being able to provide a service for the community. Making our patients feel comfortable and having them leave with a smile on their face.

I can’t wait to meet you!

Administrative Assistant

As an Administrative Assistant, my role centers on managing insurances, payments, billing, and the entire claims process for patient care. From scheduling appointments to registering and updating patient files, I ensure a seamless administrative process. My responsibilities extend to receiving lab works, handling phone calls, messages, invoices and scanning necessary documents.

My primary focus revolves around streamlining the patient experience. Upon a patient's arrival, I orchestrate the creation and updating of their file, meticulously managing insurance details to generate precise treatment plans. Post-visit, I meticulously check and complete the patient's account, handling payments and scheduling future appointments efficiently.

My personal interests encompass quality family time and indulging in crafting. With a professional journey that began in 2012 as an accounting assistant, swiftly progressing to an accounting manager within six months, I eventually transitioned to work at cellphone company in 2016.

Presently, in 2023, I take pride in our work ethos, characterized by high standards. Our commitment to impeccable scheduling ensures our patients never wait, preserving their time by seating them promptly.

What invigorates me most in my work is delving into my computer tasks, especially relishing the process of updating and managing crucial numerical data and all associated tasks.
