April – Dental Hygienist

I’m a native of the Hampton Roads area and a graduate of Smithfield High School. After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Education from Old Dominion University, I realized my true passion and pursued a career in dental hygiene. As a member of the Virginia Dental Hygiene Association, I attend continuing education courses to expand my knowledge on the best dental practices and current technologies. One of my favorite aspects of my career is helping ease the dental anxiety of my patients by creating a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere.

I am honored to be part of the team at London Bridge Smiles! Our goal is to work alongside our patients in a collaborative effort to help achieve not only a healthy, confident smile but also sustainable overall health. Aside from dentistry, my hobbies include exercising, fishing, and taking our yellow lab to Chick’s Beach!

Kennedy – Dental Assistant

I was born in Memphis, Tennessee but I have been in Virginia the majority of my life. I attended Virginia Beach Technical Career Center to become a certified dental assistant while I was in high school. I chose a career in dentistry because I am a people person and love connecting with and helping people on a personal level! What I love best about working at London Bridge Smiles is the way a positive dental experience in our office can change someone’s entire life. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching movies.

Kiley – Receptionist

Born and raised here in Virginia Beach, I am the oldest of three children and only daughter in the Kessler family. I attended Mary Washington University in Fredericksburg, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in communication. I enjoy seeing the grins on our patients’ faces when they walk out of the office showing off their beautiful new smiles. In my free time, I enjoy working out, trying new recipes and relaxing at the beach!

I love spending time with my family, especially staycations, and I am inspired daily by my three daughters and my husband.

Megan - Dental Assistant

I was born and raised in Loveland, Colorado, and attended Concorde Career College to become a certified dental assistant. I chose a career in dentistry because I love helping people feel confident in their smile. The best part about working at London Bridge Smiles is how we work as a team to help provide the best patient care. When I have free time, I love being with friends and family, exploring new places, and finding new things to do!

A Virginia Beach resident most of my life, I graduated from Tallwood High School and the dental assisting school at Centura College. I enjoy every minute of my job as a certified dental assistant! Being able to help make patients happy with their smile is one of the main reasons I love working in dentistry and at London Bridge Smiles. When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with family and friends.

Originally from southern Indiana, I moved here with my husband who serves in the military. Together, we have a 2-year-old daughter and a Weimaraner. I spent four years as a dental assistant and then made my way into the dental insurance field. The best part of my job is being able to impact so many people on the importance of oral health and how their insurance can take care of that. I love that we have a real team-effort environment at London Bridge Smiles, and everyone here has a can-do attitude!

I come from a military family and was born and raised here in Virginia Beach, and I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Old Dominion University. I enjoy camping, hiking, being outdoors and my husband, and I love shopping locally to support small business! As a treatment coordinator, I enjoy being a resource to patients to help bridge the gap between clinical and financial aspects of their dental treatment. London Bridge Smiles offers me a healthy work/life balance while making individualized patient care a top priority. It brings me joy to serve the dental needs of my community alongside the London Bridge Smiles team.
