Meet The Team

Jill is a Registered Dental Hygienist with over 27 years experience in clinical dentistry. Originally from Stamford, Connecticut, Jill received her professional education in Miami, Florida. Her clinical background includes extensive experience in managing complex periodontal patient care-treating patients of all ages and varying treatment needs. She served as a clinical instructor at Nova Southeastern University in Florida before moving to Charlotte and joining our practice.

Jill is passionate about dentistry and serves her profession actively, serving as a consultant to the CPCC dental education advisory committee as well as an active participant with the North Carolina division of the American Dental Hygiene Association. These efforts, combined with her extensive interest in and commitment to professional continuing education and study, qualify Jill as one of the most experienced, motivated and skilled hygienists in Charlotte.

Jill has 1 son, Hunter, who attends college for Mechanical Engineering at Florida Polytechnic University. Most of her family still lives in Florida. In her personal time, Jill loves leading a very active lifestyle- with regular participation in all varieties of activities including running, hiking, skiing, kick-boxing and all varieties of cross-training. She loves watching Carolina Hurricanes hockey, reading, music and spending time with her son Hunter.

Paola received her certified dental assisting diploma in 2016. Since 2018, Paola has been assisting Dr. Stuart in all phases of clinical care including CAD/CAM, restorative, surgical (extractions, bone grafts and implants), and endodontic (root canal) procedures. Paola is also able to provide assistance regarding appointment scheduling, taking payments, explaining clinical procedures as well as any financial aspects of your care (insurance benefits, payment options).

Paola is a Pittsburgh native who has lived in the Carolinas since 2009. Her family is originally from Puerto Rico and Ecuador. She and her younger siblings share a rich cultural diversity, as well as a fluency in Spanish. She is currently learning Arabic as well (sometimes this helps Dr. Stuart care for our amazingly diverse family of patients-because his only foreign language education was Latin)!

Paola married to her husband Irving in 2019. They love to travel, volunteer, play volleyball and spend time with their shih tzu, Grogu and family.

We are so very lucky to have Paola as part of our amazing team. She is great with patients, extremely organized and a pleasure to be around.
