Bonnie

Orthodontic Assistant

Bonnie has over 28 years of experience as an orthodontic assistant and loves impacting the lives of so many throughout Connecticut.

She is a graduate of Briarwood College (formally Lincoln College) in dental assisting. Bonnie is married to Ed and they recently celebrated their 33rd anniversary.

They have 1 daughter, Elizabeth. She loves working with each person who comes to Team Demas Orthodontics because she knows she has time to not only meet but get to know each person. It is why she loves working in orthodontics.

In addition to love of spending time with family and friends, she enjoys practicing yoga. Bonnie also likes to hike and go antique shopping.

 

Kate

Orthodontic Assistant

Kate has almost 10 years of orthodontic experience. She is a graduate of Porter & Chester dental assisting in 2013. Kate is married to Rick and their blended family has 2 girls and 2 sons. They also have 2 granddaughters! She loves working with people and has always loved teeth. Kate actually liked going to see her dentist. It was her dentist that encouraged her to go to school in this field. (Thank you, Dr. Harmetz!)

One of her fondest memories in orthodontics is when she began working with a patient who didn’t like their smile. She started her braces and was with her for EVERY appointment. The joy the patient had when treatment was done was amazing!

In addition to love of spending time with family, Kate enjoys going to the beach to watch a sunset, and she loves boating and swimming. 

But another fun fact is that she is a SOCCER MOM, and has been for the last 11 years. She beams when she shares that her son’s team won the STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS in 2022!

Heather

Orthodontic Assistant

Heather has been in the dental field for over 20 years, and in orthodontics for over 17 years.

Heather’s entry into the dental field is a fun story. When she was still a teenager her dentist came into her family’s restaurant every day for lunch. One day he asked if she could come help him at his office. As they say…the rest is history. Heather says that from that moment she knew she would always work in a dental office.

A special thing about Heather is that she moved from Florida in 2017. When working in Florida, the other assistants gave her the nickname, “Queen Essix” as she loves making Essix (clear) Retainers.

Heather has a daughter who just started college. She is very proud of her accomplishments.

She loves hiking, riding bikes, and swimming. Heather also loves relaxing at home and watching Netflix.
