Our Dental Hygienists

Dental Hygienist

Aimee is a Bellingham native and started with Dr. Clough in 1997 — right out of hygiene school at Skagit Valley College and Clark College. She is still here after more than two decades! Her relaxed, easygoing style puts all her patients at ease while she thoroughly performs chairside duties. In return, Aimee learns so much from her patients and cherishes the friendships she has created with them.

Aimee and her husband Matt have been married for more than 20 years. They have two kids, Baylor and Maya. Aimee loves to be outside, hike, read, and watch her kids play sports. The family loves to travel and explore different parts of the US and world.

She has been in dentistry for more than 20 years and with Dr. Clough for more than 15. Fun-loving but serious about healthy teeth and gums, Michelle is wonderful with patients. She is fun and supportive, and wants to make all sure patients leave with motivation and understanding of their oral health needs.

Michelle lives in Bellingham with her husband and teenage daughter. They love to hike with their dog, snow ski, and travel. 

Jackie

Dental Hygienist

Jackie comes to us from Wenatchee. When she was growing up, her own dental hygienist convinced her to become one as well. She’s the most organized person in the office; dare we even say, the world. Nothing gets missed while she is on watch. She also takes great care of her patients and truly enjoys the connections she develops with them. Being personally requested by patients warms her heart; it touches her deeply to know she could provide such a wonderful experience for them.

Two kids, a cat, a husband, traveling, camping, and working out keep Jackie busy.

Kaylee

Dental Hygienist

Kaylee joined our office in 2012 and is a graduate of Pierce College in Tacoma and Eastern Washington University. She is extremely dedicated to helping patients understand dental disease and the importance of dental health, and brightening the world one smile at a time. She’s very informed about periodontal health, and delivers the message with a winning smile. Kaylee shares with Drs. Clough and Hyatt a passion for dentistry and dedication to providing patient-first care.

Kaylee loves the outdoors and outside activities such as hiking, diving, and fishing. She is a busy body, always on some weekend adventure. Quiet nights at home with her puppy are rare but appreciated. 

Cheyanne

Dental Hygienist

Cheyanne graduated from Yakima Valley Community College with her AAS in dental hygiene and Eastern Washington University with a Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene. Since joining our team in 2017, she has worked hard to help promote and achieve her patients’ whole body health, while creating lasting relationships with them. Cheyanne feels fortunate to work with such an incredible group of people who are so genuinely kind and who all work toward the same goal for our patients.

Cheyanne and her husband moved to Bellingham several years ago from Walla Walla. With them came their baby boy, Mowgli the cat. They are thrilled to call Bellingham home and love all that it has to offer locally and its proximity to the great outdoors. A few of Cheyanne’s hobbies include backpacking, traveling, running, and reading a good book.

Heidi

In addition to her work in our office, Heidi teaches at the Bellingham Technical College in the dental hygiene program, where she enjoys watching her adult students become professional, skilled clinicians.

She is encouraging and supportive, and treats her patients like family.

To greet Jen when she gets home are her two teenage daughters. The family enjoys being active outside, especially hiking and skiing.

Kacie loves to see treatments completed, to see a case through all its stages, from beginning to end.

Kacie and her high-school sweetheart have been married for more than a decade. They have three children: a daughter and twin boys. When she’s not working, she loves camping, boating, hiking, and reading.

Christina

Christina appreciates our team’s motivation and willingness to always help one another out.

Born and raised in Bellingham, Landy is a 2002 graduate of the dental assisting program at Bellingham Technical College. Although she assists Drs.

Landy’s goal — and the goal of everyone at our office — is to make our patients feel like family.

Landy is married with three children who keep her busy with all their activities. As a family, they enjoy riding their bikes on local trails and Galbraith Mountain. She is learning to ski as well, so she can enjoy more time alongside her fearless children and experienced husband.

Deb and her husband Rob enjoy working on their homestead, remodeling their home and yard seems to be an endless project.  Debbie loves to be in her garden and hosting gatherings whenever possible.  With 6 kids between them and 5 grandchildren, it more than keeps them busy and active and as time allows, they both love to travel and experience new places.  

Kristy

Insurance and Collection Specialist, Front Desk

We are thrilled to have Kristy join our front office team again! Kristy worked in our office many years ago before starting her career in a medical office. Her experience makes her adept at keeping insurance issues as “under control” as possible and solving difficult claim problems. We are thrilled to have her back in dentistry and enjoy her ability to keep us and our patients laughing with her fun personality.

Kristy is a self-described workaholic, but tries to play as much as she works when able. She is a single mom with a daughter who has her sights set on a profession in the medical field. Together, they like to camp and enjoy the outdoors, and in recent years, have been bitten by the travel bug! They share their home with a large but loveable German Shepherd and a sassy independent cat.
