Hey y’all! My name is Emily, and I’m a registered dental assistant, wife, and mom of two boys. I’ve been a dental assistant since 2017 and have been part of the Downtown Dental team since 2020. Dr. Sikes has actually been my dentist my whole life, and now I have the privilege of working side by side with her.

I grew up in Tarkington and have lived here my entire life, so I get to see lots of familiar faces every day and also meet many new ones. One of my favorite parts of working at Downtown Dental is building relationships with our patients and earning their trust over time.

I truly love our work family — we have so much fun together while still providing the best care for our patients. Since joining the team, I’ve learned so much, from designing crowns and milled fillings to scanning with CEREC and adjusting braces during ortho treatments.

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my family and friends and being a mom to my boys, Rhyatt and Hayes.

I’m so thankful for my role here at Downtown Dental, and I love helping each patient feel comfortable and confident in their dental care. We can’t wait to meet you and help you on your journey to a happier, healthier smile!
