Our dentists do great work at Advanced Dentistry, but they couldn’t do it without a team of caring, professional and expert hygienists, assistants, and administrative staff! Their many years of experience and knowledge of dentistry will help you practice better oral care away from the dental office. Feel free to ask them any questions you have about your oral health. They’ll do everything possible to try and meet your accommodations and make you a more informed patient!

Michelle - Registered Dental Assistant

Michelle first joined Dr. Popp’s dental office around 20 years ago, and she has nearly 25 years of experience in the dental field overall. She loves being part of such a strong team that strives for the same goals! Originally from Northern California, Michelle is married with two children. When she isn’t busy at the dental office, you can usually find her camping or traveling out to the desert!

Marni – Treatment Coordinator

Marni joined Advanced Dentistry as a Registered Dental Assistant before learning how to take care of patients’ scheduling, financial, and insurance needs, and moving up to the front dental office. She has learned so much working with Dr. Popp & Dr. Bailey, especially about how a person’s oral health can affect their overall health and daily life. She has always followed the doctors’ lead to keep learning and attends CE courses whenever she can.

When not in the dental office, you might find Marni at The Strand, or on Coronado Beach with her two amazing children. She also loves reading and spending time with family and friends.
