RDH

I have been an RDH for almost 20 years and I have worked with Dr. Eggleston for 16 years. I love what I do and I am very passionate about my job and the health of my patients. I have been blessed to meet and become friends with many of our patients over the years. I have two girls 9 and 6 years old. They are the love of my life. I enjoy every day with them. We love being outside and going to the movies. If we are not around the Central Valley then you will find us on a beach. I love my job and working for Dr. Eggleston. He is an amazing dentist, employer and friend. He has an amazing family that I also consider part of my own. He always strives to do the best treatment possible for each and every patient.

Dental Assistants

Alex

RDA

With more than 17 years of experience in dentistry, Alex Eggleston brings a unique combination of clinical knowledge, practice leadership, and compassionate patient care to Eggleston Dental Care.

Throughout her career, Alex has worked in nearly every aspect of the dental practice, with extensive experience in practice operations, treatment coordination, implant consultations, patient financing, and surgical assisting. She has developed a particular passion for comprehensive implant and full-mouth rehabilitation cases, helping patients understand their options and confidently navigate their treatment from the initial consultation through their final smile.

As an Implant Treatment Coordinator, Office Manager and member of the leadership team at Eggleston Dental Care, Alex works closely with Dr. Eggleston and the clinical team to create a seamless and highly personalized experience for each patient. She understands that choosing to undergo extensive dental treatment is about much more than teeth—it can be a significant emotional and financial decision. Her goal is to make that process comfortable, transparent, and approachable.

One of the most rewarding parts of Alex’s career is meeting patients who have spent years feeling embarrassed about their smile or struggling to eat comfortably and then watching their confidence change throughout their treatment. Being part of those transformations is what continues to make dentistry meaningful to her after nearly two decades in the profession.

Outside of the office, Alex is a devoted wife and mother of two boys. She enjoys hiking, traveling, cooking, reading, discovering cozy coffee shops and restaurants, and spending time with her family. She values continued education, meaningful relationships, and creating experiences and memories with the people she loves.

Alex believes exceptional dentistry begins with listening. Whether a patient is visiting for a simple conversation or considering a complete smile transformation, she wants every person who walks through the doors of Eggleston Dental Care to feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely cared for.

For her, success isn’t only about what you accomplish—it’s also about having the courage to build a life that feels meaningful, joyful, and truly your own.
