Meet the Team
Teeth should do their job. If they don’t, we make them work for you again—stronger, healthier, and built to last.
•Dentist & Founder
Dr. Hanle has been practicing dentistry for over 30 years, but he’s never stopped learning. A graduate of the University of Alabama School of Dentistry, he built his career around connecting oral health to whole-body wellness, becoming a leader in airway-focused dentistry, sleep disorder treatment, and systemic health diagnostics.
His expertise includes CBCT imaging, myofunctional therapy, salivary diagnostics, and ozone therapy, all of which allow him to catch and treat problems before they turn into bigger health issues. Patients trust him because he’s thoughtful, meticulous, and focused on getting things right the first time. His team trusts him because he genuinely listens, values their expertise, and is always teaching them something new.
Katie
Katie has been a dental hygienist for nearly 20 years, and her approach is simple: make every patient feel comfortable, informed, and in control of their health. She specializes in preventative care and periodontal therapy, using tools like salivary testing to help patients understand the deeper connections between oral bacteria and overall health.
She’s known for her warm personality, natural ability to put people at ease, and the fact that she somehow remembers every patient’s name, job, and favorite vacation spot. If you’ve been here before, she probably already knows what’s going on in your life—and she’ll definitely ask how your dog is doing.
Lina
•Certified Registered Dental Hygienist
Lina is the detail-obsessed, precision-driven hygienist who makes sure nothing gets overlooked. She specializes in salivary diagnostics, periodontal therapy, and complete health dentistry, with a deep focus on how oral bacteria, inflammation, and airway issues affect the rest of the body.
She’s thorough, gentle, and incredibly knowledgeable, which is why patients trust her when she explains why certain symptoms—like gum inflammation or chronic dry mouth—might be signs of something bigger. She doesn’t rush, she doesn’t cut corners, and she makes sure every patient leaves with answers, not just a cleaner smile.
Nicole
•Treatment Coordinator & Team Lead
Nicole is the problem solver, the organizer, and the person who makes sure everything runs like clockwork. With years of experience in dental treatment coordination, patient care, and insurance navigation, she helps patients understand their treatment plans and how to make them work for their budget and schedule.
She’s sharp, direct, and always five steps ahead, whether she’s explaining a complex procedure, coordinating appointments, or answering insurance questions before you even have to ask. If something needs fixing, she’s already on it.
Nick
•Front Office Coordinator
Nick is the first person you see when you walk in and the first person to make you laugh. He handles scheduling, patient communication, and front desk management, but what he’s really great at is making the office feel welcoming, easy, and stress-free.
He’s the guy who remembers your name even if you haven’t been in for two years. He knows how to keep things running smoothly, how to put nervous patients at ease, and how to make a trip to the dentist feel like less of a chore and more like a visit with friends.
Tracee
•Airway Ambassador & Dental Assistant
Tracee specializes in airway health, CBCT imaging, and sleep apnea treatment, working closely with Dr. Hanle to assess breathing function and systemic health risks. She’s passionate about educating patients on how their airway affects their sleep, energy, and long-term health, making sure they understand their options for treatment.
She’s patient, thorough, and great at explaining complex issues in a way that actually makes sense. Whether she’s walking someone through a CBCT scan, fitting a sleep appliance, or educating a patient on how their airway impacts their sleep and overall health, she makes the process feel simple, approachable, and manageable.
Claire
•Registered Dental Hygienist & Myofunctional Therapist
Claire is the big-picture thinker of the team—the one who connects the dots between oral health, breathing, and whole-body wellness. As a hygienist, she’s deeply committed to patient care, focusing not just on cleanings but on the long-term health of each person she sees. Claire is the one who asks the questions others might miss, looking beyond the surface to uncover how oral health affects sleep, function, and overall quality of life.
In the office, Claire is a steady, focused presence who makes patients feel at ease while guiding them through their care. She has a gift for making complex science sound simple and helping people understand how their daily habits can lead to lasting change. In addition to her hygiene work, Claire also supports patients with myofunctional therapy, helping improve muscle function and breathing patterns when needed. Whether she’s working chairside or diving into the latest research, Claire never stops looking for better answers and real solutions.
