Takeiya

Dental Assistant

Most people dread having dental work done; it's no secret. But this is exactly what pulled Takeiya's interest in teeth and she turned it into a profession! At age 16 she experienced her first emergency root canal and was fascinated by all the steps and science behind fixing her tooth. She soon after entered the world of Dental Assisting and has loved it ever since. Her favorite and most rewarding part of the job is helping make new beautiful smiles for patients.

When Takeiya isn't helping to perfect smiles at Lumia, she can often be found singing, practicing guitar or watching (only the scariest of) horror flicks. GG and Yuni, her cat kids, keep her busy at home and are her pride and joy. Takeiya is continuing her education to obtain her Bachelor's in Biology at The College of Staten Island.
