Meet the Team

At Thomas Orthodontics, we are a team of enthusiastic and compassionate people who collaborate with dental care providers, our patients, and our patients’ families. Together, we achieve optimal oral health and lasting, beautifully confident and happy smiles!

Jessica

Front Desk Assistant

I like getting to know our patients and their parents. It’s a good feeling to connect with others and be part of a team that helps people love their smiles! I schedule appointments, answer the phones, and assist with consultations.

I moved to Yorkville in 2015, from North Carolina, with my husband, a decorated prior service Marine, and our two boys, Connor and Camden. We have two dogs, Heidi, and Rizzo, who is Connor’s diabetic alert dog. We love the area and how it has a small town feel yet isn’t a small town! Connor is involved in baseball and Camden plays soccer, which keeps us busy. Our family likes going to the movies and being outside when it’s warm.

Lauren

Lab Manager and Orthodontic Assistant

I enjoy building trust with our patients and seeing how each person changes as they see their smile change. Everyone finishes with great self-esteem and a wonderful smile! I take X-rays, photographs, and impressions, prepare models, and assist Dr. Thomas with procedures. My focus is on making sure our patient is comfortable in the chair.

I’m a caring, loyal, and trustworthy friend, daughter, sister, cousin, and niece. Family is everything to me. I love my job and love helping others feel comfortable and good about themselves.

Romney

Operatory Manager and Orthodontic Assistant

I like watching treatment progress and seeing how each person changes as their teeth move. When they start smiling without needing to be coaxed, I’m thrilled! I make retainers which help patients keep their finished smiles perfect, coordinate with the lab, and provide patient care.

I’m married and have two active children. Outside the office, I enjoy reading, fishing, attending White Sox games, and volunteering to help those in our community who are less fortunate.
