Kristen

Dental Hygienist

Kristen moved to the Flathead Valley in June 2019 from Denver, Colorado. She worked as a dental assistant while attending school at Colorado State University and decided to further pursue her passion for the dental field. She graduated from dental hygiene school summa cum laude at Colorado Northwestern Community College. It was there that she met her future husband Jared, with whom she works alongside at Stebbins Dental Studio. Kristen is known for her ability to be both thorough and gentle and loves the challenge of finding a customized home care routine for each patient that is both simple and effective.

In her free time, Kristen loves to enjoy the beauty and activities Montana has to offer with Jared, their daughter and two dogs. She is always ready to try something new and has grown fond of hunting and ice fishing since moving to the valley.

When she’s not in the office, Carla enjoys catching up with her three grown children, as well as spending time with her four grandchildren and hanging out with family and friends. She recently became an American citizen, but don’t worry; she can still translate for our Canadian patients, eh!
